    MadMike's Accident

    Mike and Sabrina, Thank you very much for sharing your flopperoo experience and what may have caused it. I'm so glad to hear you're back home - no place like home. p.s. I just bought me a DS, so I'll have to remember to eat (Powerbars anyone?) and hydrate. See ya in Denver :yahoo:

    Cool Vest

    I thought the same thing about evaportive cooling and I live here in Colorado, where the humidity is quite low most of the time. I recently went on a ride to the four corners of the U.S. My first check point was Key West and it was very hot (around 95) in Florida and Louisiana. Humid too and...

    Cool Vest

    Must be my computer. Tried it again and only get a blank screen. I'll have to try another computer.

    A break in the action

    Things certainly change from one event to the next, as technology improves, etc. Hey, nobody had a mobile phone on that first IBR, I'll bet. The bikes got better, tires, oils, farkles, even satellite transponders. Along with a fellow by the name of Craig, I changed a couple of FJR wheel/tires...

    I'm now a Winger!

    No problem. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve with my recent buy of the V-Strom, but with all the helpful folks on the internet, I should have a lot of fun learning about it.

    A break in the action

    If Karma and bad Mojo kicks in and they don't make it to podium status, they have an easy out - they can always blame the 'team'. :blink:

    Cool Vest

    Googled them and their web address doesn't work www.coloradocoolwear.com Maybe they are not in biz anymore. That would be too bad.

    I'm now a Winger!

    The Goldwing has a built in safeguard for speeding - the speedo is about 5 mph over optimistic. When I set the cruise to 80 mph I'm actually dialed into 75 mph. There is a way around it. When you wear out the rear tire you can switch from a 60 to 70 series tire (Valcarie size) and that...

    Prayers for MadMike2 to heal up quickly

    Mike, I rarely look into this folder, but today I did and what do I see but baaaaad news. But then on the good side, I'm very happy to hear that you're doing better. That guardrail thing is a real oxymoron for us motorcycle riders, isn't it. Glad to hear you had ATTGATT employed while...

    Cool Vest

    I have a couple of cool vests. The one I like best I bought here: SOUND RIDER Click on the Sound Rider Store near the bottom for all kinds of cool riding stuff. Another thing that helps is to go with synthetic undies instead of cotton Ts. I also like the Sokz socks. They are very comfortable...

    Did Sleazyboard finally take a dump?

    Actually, there are four different boards. Maybe more - there was one on Yahoo. FJRiders on Delphi was started up way back in March of '02 and is still up and running. Just that nobody ever goes there much anymore - makes the sleezie board look like a traffic jam. It was run by Kent Ailes...

    TurboDave WFO 6 pics

    Dave, Sorry I missed the first FJR Vintage Riders meeting/breakfast. Was down in the bowels of the Marriot watching all those pretty FJRs (and a couple of Wings). But I'll be there next year. Long ride, but I'll do my best to make it :rolleyes:

    First Long Distance Ride

    News Flash! I have a Wing with camper trailer (25 cf. storage) and I sometimes run out of room. But then I like to travel LARGE I tried a list, but I usually just keep throwing stuff in until I run out of room :rolleyes:
