    Camping at NAFO?

    That's funny, but sounds familiar. I've had similar experiences over the years. I travel alone most of the time, so have to go out of my way to schmooze when I get to rallies sometimes. I usually meet more people in a camping setting than at the hotel/motel scene.

    NAFO 1K and 1.5K RIDES!

    Easy for you to say, Rick! :rolleyes: Still, probably a bit harder that a straight run to Chicago or Memphis or LA on the slab :lol: You going to stop by and say hello?

    Camping at NAFO?

    Chatfield might be a real good option. Easy ride down C470, maybe 20 minutes.

    Camping at NAFO?

    I don't know what the ameneties are at Golden Gate state park. They probably have them listed on a State of Colorado website. I like to ride up the canyon from Golden up to Nederland and beyond. The ride from Nederland to Estes Park is very nice and then down Big Thompson canyon. I'd say the...

    Camping at NAFO?

    Sully, There is a KOA in Strausburg at Exit 310 on I-70. That would be just a bit east of Denver. About 20 miles. The Marriott is at exit 263, so you would be looking at 47 miles, but it would be a straight shot, unfortunately with a lot of city traffic. Golden is right up against the...

    NAFO, Dates & City Secured!

    The man asked a question and I attempted to give him a ballpark answer. I thought it was in the park. Maybe more, maybe less. As far as speculation, what's wrong with that? It will be what it is.

    NAFO, Dates & City Secured!

    The banquet(s), usually a couple of dinners, will run around 150 bucks and you get to be an official participant, not just one of those groupies that hang in the parking lot or the bar, but eat at MickyD's and stay at the local motel 6. Hey, no big deal! I did that in Moscow :) I'll let...

    NAFO, Dates & City Secured!

    No problem, unless you leave the FJR home and bring a H-D with straight pipes and sit outside a bar in LoDo (lower downtown) rapping the pipes. Seems the downtown folk got weary of the noise and slipped a city ordinance through in Denver. No reason to go into Denver anyhoo that I can see...

    Denver rides

    Hello Dave T, I was going to attend this year's Rockies-Gold, but conflicting dates (WFO) kinda got in the way. Hope to see you out that way next year, if I can squeeze it in.

    re-usable oil filter?

    Yes and he also has a thread about oil. Enough about filters. I think we should move on to even more critical NERPT items. OIL! Any oily thread will do, including lube and grease. Don't forget a bit of oil on the drive shaft to prevent rust! No WD-40 there. Nothing but the best synthetic...

    re-usable oil filter?

    Not according to this guy: ALL ABOUT OIL FILTERS I used the Scott for several years. It was a messy pain in the ass. Oil came out of the ground. I have no problem putting it back in. If we are that worried about trees, we should probably outlaw newspapers and *******. Save steel? Using a...

    FJR not what is cracked up to be

    Rossi takes his hands off the grips all the time. Mostly after he wins the race :yahoo: Don't see no wiggle on his Yamaha... Only other times I see him do it is when he falls down... :dribble:

    No less than 500

    Here is the website for the 2008 100 THOUSAND FOOT RUN They allow a limited number of riders, so if someone is interested, it would be a good idea to register early (not this early I think). I went on it in 2003 and it was a nice ride. For the entrance fee we got a T-Shirt, continental...

    My quiet FJR

    Ever discuss with Dale Walker. He claimed 3 additional h.p. with the Holeshot mufflers (Dyno). I haven't been to his site since I purchased the mufflers. He probably did dyno the bike with his headers on it. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the motor ran better.

    My quiet FJR

    I doubt if it would sound much different than a full stock system, but then these things are mostly subjective, unless you have a decibel meter handy. If you still have the stockers, why not put them on and report back to us, or maybe someone in your vicinity has a set down in the basement that...
