What a great ride report! Now I want to take roads less traveled (gravel) and get a vstrom... :)

I don't think I've seen anyone on this forum say that if you can't wrench you shouldn't be riding.  Then again, I haven't lurked into the bowels of all the topics. Sucks that 1) the parts are backordered and 2) that you had a bad experience with that other shop. My local yamaha dealer I use...

We could "relay" it across the country!? GLWS

If'n yer in Nebrasuck, like last year, and find yourself in need of assistance let me know directly.  I'll PM you my contact info. As far as changing tire/oils & such whilst you slumber, sure, but I'm a bit south of Sioux Falls, SD

Wow. Just .... Wow. I feel bad that I don't often check the forum and missed keeping track of your trek through the midwest.  I'm not sure I could have been of much use while you were vacationing in Nebrasuck, but I would have tried.  I thought I was on the "help" list. It's an incredible...

He's doing well. Sold the FJR as life (family, work, etc) was taking away from riding time. I'll mention this to him.

A buddy of mine (worldbound4now) and I are heading up to Maine the last week of July for a canoe trip along the Allagash. Unfortunately neither of us will ride the FJRs there :( However, I'm wondering if someone near/around Portland or Bangor might have some bits we could borrow so that we...

If you'd like assistance, and could make it, there's a Tech Day over in OH. Give them some notice and I bet you'd get more help than you want - haha Details HERE Otherwise, I've had great success with youtube vids, the links/pages Bounce provides. I strongly encourage a read-thru/viewing...

Same. Being the proper forum member I am, I did not read the directions first :)

I’ve been looking forward to this RR for a while. Really enjoying the great pics and details! Too bad the weather kept you from the State park in NE, but it’ll be there if you venture this way again!

I just took delivery of mine. I bought a Moar bike from indigogo (moar.bike is the URL) I intend to commute on mine. Fat tire, 750w motor, pedal assist. Fun ride so far, but it rained most of the weekend and all this week so far. I don’t know that I’d take mine on a single-track trail, but...

I switched to RAM mount for my phone (in a rugged case). Look for the X-grip add-on to the mount (rubber thingy which keeps the phone in the X-mount)

I think that will only work if OP is the only person listed on the title?

Still do. They are either diamond patterns or lines on the shoulder. Western IA, NE, KS, eastern CO, etc etc... I haven’t used any electronic means to figure out if there’s a speed enforcement action. In small towns, I’m at or under the posted limit and hyper-attentive to signs. My trip...

*blushes*

"low mile" Gen2? is that even a thing? I could send mine. Stock 07 with just shy of 75k miles. EDIT: Stock motor. I do not have the PAIR things, or after market exhaust. The suspension is upgraded :)

That's what I've used on my helmet, top case and other strategic areas. I used white then layered red on top of it. After a few years I should replace it, but it does still stand out. I'll try to get pics this evening.

Got your PM and replied. Waubonsie SP in IA or Indian Cave SP in NE are great options. Iowa doesn't require state park permits where NE does. Neither are close to towns for provisions, but depending on your route, you'll pass through places with small grocery stores. Or, let me know when...

So, it's like most of Colorado! :) Thanks! I've not ventured out of the lower 48 yet. Have passport. Could have the time. I might be a late-add

Wifi is spotty, but do they have wired connections? (if it's reliable, I can take more days and "work remotely")
