This is great, Warchild! I think your Puig you installed is taller than mine but it still made a ton of difference. With a decent helmet the wind doesn't bug me at all even at "go to jail" speeds, which on that MT10 is a slight twist of the wrist. Now the distance per tank? That's gonna be fun...

I've thankfully not experienced this personally, but I remember reading about someone getting a garage cat just for this reason.

If I sold my FJR I would have tears.

So sorry about your brother. I tend to be sentimental but have been trying to learn to get better at getting rid of stuff. However, I think the advice here is spot on with keeping it if you can. I am very close to my nephew (he's more like a son to me) and his younger brother died a couple years...

I had to pull out my OEM windshield for a guy that may want it and the invoice for the Rifle was in the box. It is an FJR1300 '06 Tour +3" tall +4 wide

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you are just sore. My brother and niece both live just north of there. It's a pretty area, but we hit lots of traffic when we rode there a couple years ago. My niece's husband had a bicycle accident right in that same area and still is recovering from...

I put a Rifle medium on my 07 back in 2012. I love it. I don't remember whether they sold it as a +3 or what it was other than a "Medium". It is 15 inches from the top mounting bolt, if that helps. I found my review here back on Nov 11, 2012 and it only says medium too. The review is...

We made it home. It's kind of entertaining as we manage to do things with my one working arm and her with none. But we are very blessed with helpful friends and family. She's only cried twice since the accident and the second was this morning when I took her outside to see the flowers blooming...

This-^ Got the quotes messed up there but That’s SteveO311’s quote that I’m trying to agree with strongly. Left hand :)

Ha! I thought it was a sketch of our accident the farmers drew and sent in!

Those were all left handed thoughts :) On the gauntlet gloves, of course we don’t really know. I just think it would. They make you wear them at the track for a reason, though. I picked her thinnest gloves for that day because she was going to take road pictures. Grr. If not protecting the...

Tammy and I had a low-side Thursday on the second day of our Ohio trip on the Goldwing. We didn't even make it out of Kentucky. We both have broken wrists that need surgery. Tam got it a lot worse than I did, which I can't figure out. I have no other injuries except the wrist. She had a level 5...

Not going to highjack the thread totally with our wreck yesterday but our gear likely saved my wife’s life. The only thing we had skimped on was short cuff gloves for both of us. The only broken bones we have is my wrist and her wrist, forearm and fingers. It isn’t magic but my belief in its...

So on the first day of our trip this week we saw a vulture in the middle of the road. I joke to Tam that it’s probably got a snake and sure enough it had a snake. It didn’t throw it at us, thankfully

This is nuts, man. I hit a vulture several years ago that flew up from the side just like that but didn't break anything. But having it throw a snake? I don't like snakes. I ran over a snake once with my wife on the back and all I could think about was if I threw it up onto me. If she saw it she...

Take this as just my experience and opinion. I hear you saying that you are in the habit of riding in shirts and jeans, so I'm focusing on your point of making SOME improvement. It was very hard for me to make the shift to MATGMATT (most all the gear, most all the time) from lots of years riding...

I tried to post a much more obvious hint last week, but somehow didn't save it. Let's go ahead and punt: This is the Mexican Railroad Trestle off hwy 82 in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. We enjoyed 82 from Artesia over to Alamagordo, but took a recommended detour on 24 which got really good coming up...

I worked for a Danish company for the last 4 years until a few months ago. They are good people but they sure have the rules and the taxes. You have to name your kids from an approved list or get special government permission.

At over 8600 feet, the city where this abandoned railroad trestle is located is one of the highest 25 in the US. If you take out Colorado, it's the 4th highest, but the second highest in this state.

Ok, bigger hint... We were up here in the clouds by the above railroad trestle and just 34 miles later we were in a sandstorm in this location:
