Let's see... There was the trip to the NAFO - all 21.7 miles - pack light, if I forget something I can always go back and get it. Shortest trip to a rally I've ever been on. Opportunity to see old friends from WFOs in the past. Been to most, starting with the first Moscow WFO. Cherry...

Clicked on the website coloradocoolwear.com above out of curiosity, but there was a message that they were closed due to some family issues :unsure: Too bad. I have used cooling vests over the years and they do help a lot. Couple of years back after the WFO in Reno, I decided to go back...

This has been brought up on other discussions on other boards and although some folks suggested that this might happen, I have seen no evidence of that being so. Maybe an insurance agent or broker could chime in. First off, how would the insurance company prove that a car tire caused an...

Sorry, but I don't think we are in any kind of depression at this time, although with the government going down their own version of the 'Dark Side', we may well be heading down that road. When was the last time you saw folks knocking on your back door asking to work for a bit of bread that you...

The Baker Air Wings were not available when I had my '03 fast, but hot FJR. I fixed most of the heat issues, except for heat buildup in the cockpit area, which had stagnant (hot) air. If those wings (I have 3 different wings on my GL1800 and they make a big difference in both hot and cold...

Well, you can always follow the old guy on the Titanium GL1800 with the car tire. I was never accused of being fast, only half-fast...

Hold your nose and go to www.gl1800riders.com and you will find such a decal. You will have to dig down to the DarkSide folders.

I'm in (room and all), but you won't hear me coming, since I'll be on the silent running (Darksider) GL1800 with a camper attached to its rear. Let's see MM2 pick that baby up and relocate it :o ) p.s. Unlike those U-Glides, my bike don't stink (except maybe when I'm on it)...

95% sure I'm going, so you can put me down as strong possibility, although I was thinking of camping since I'll be dragging a trailer. Did you share a room in Bow WA? We might have been roomies then. The room was on the garden level and quite nice with a hot tub, etc. I believe the person I...

How much pressure are you running in the tire? I usually run low 30's. DS #191 (GL1800riders.com)

My experience with car tires: I installed a Kumho Ecsta run flat on my GL1800 prior to attending the NAFO here in Denver (2008?) I was getting tired of the excessive rear tire cupping and was intregued by what I read on the Dark Side at the www.gl1800riders.com website and thought what the...

Well fellas, I didn't have any big plans this year for rides and then I thought about WFO or NAFO so I checked it out and there's a lot of nice country between Denver and Eureka, so I'm sure getting serious about tiddling out that way, especially since that Turbo guy offered to buy me breakfast...

Great to hear from you Mike. So far I've missed the Vintage Riders breakfasts. I was doing the parking lot Nazi duty in Park City and I missed it again at the NAFO 'cause I just came back from the SS1k (that was a real hoot), so if I make it this year, it will be my first. I missed the second...

I know how you folks resent the parkage of other machines in your midst, but I really don't have much of a choice (bigger and better GL1800 or funkadelic V-Strom what's left in my stable), so if I show up (at least for the vintage rider breakfast), you gonna make me park 'down the street' or...

I have done a lot of towing with the FJR. I built a couple of trailers from the Harbor Freight trailer kit and a Sears cartop carrier and they work very well. Showed up at a couple of WFOs with the rig. I also towed a big Roll-a-Home behind the FJR, but that trailer (early version) had to be...

My family was from Vergas (Mom's side) and Grandpa started the lumberyard (Hanson's) many years ago. I grew up in Fergus Falls (elementry school). My niece lives in the area. Her husband has the equipment rental place in Ottertail City. Pop worked at Ottertail Power Co., so I go back a long...

When I bought the Wing I rode the Dragon (dragging a trailer) and met Rick. I check out his Wing and it had a lot of missing metal on the foot pegs. Quite a machine he had there with the cameras and all. Asked him if there were any riders he couldn't keep up with while filming and he said...

I've been meaning to post pics, etc and I just got them up on the internet. If you are interested, go to MY PICTURES HERE

Well.....Yes Over the years I 'suffered' from that syndrome. My most recent delving in the different was in 2002 (started a series of different). I was riding a 1997 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe (big, heavy, relative slow gas gobbler, but pretty) and was interested in the FJR over in Europe...
