    CFO 2017 Dates

    484 miles from my house to the hotel...I can leave at sun up and have lunch in JeffCity. Sounds like a plan.

    Speaker ear plugs for motorcycles

    I have a set of iPlugz from E.A.R. Inc. They are custom molded dual drive design. Pretty much seals out almost all ambient noise. Music quality is great. I have yanked the cord so many times I am starting to get the intermittent short and drop on one side or the other. At the Mpls Motorcycle...

    Carrousel of the French national police motorcyclist

    Yep, they were wrong. I think the official term is Zones Urbaines Sensibles.

    Carrousel of the French national police motorcyclist

    gapiob, I made the comment based on the idiotic French law that prohibited motorcycles in the country from being capable of producing more than 100hp maximum. As of January 1, 2016 it appears the French have come to their senses, on this issue at least. I maintain France is still a great place...

    Carrousel of the French national police motorcyclist

    Surprised the French allow the police to ride motorcycles...scooters seem more appropriate.

    2014ES Found on CL in Land of Cheese

    For $11,500 OBO this 6,200mile 14ES can find a place in your garage. I am so tempted to lowball it and see if he bites...I can find room for another FJR in the stable...and it ups my cylinder index!!! https://eauclaire.craigslist.org/mcy/5940568878.html

    Behmer (Peter Behm) on His Last Rally

    My first ride with Pete and Paula was in 2002 when he was a member of the Venturers club. We enjoyed 5 days SD. I always looked forward to seeing Pete at the events. He will be sorely missed.

    Jeep

    I am not a fan of CVTs....great for snowmobiles and ATVs....cars not so much....I know many techs who rue the CVTs in the Nissans with the same disdain...

    How is the Ride-by-Wire Throttle Control in the 2013?

    I have 36K on my 2013.5 now. I don't have the actual code in front of me, but me thinks there was some tinkering with the maps between 2013 and the 2014 and newer bikes. I have a 14 ECU in my 13...the Sport mode map seems a bit smoother vs the 13 ECU.

    Garage Furnace: Radiant heat or Blower Furnace?

    I will add I have a fully insulated garage including insulated doors...mine runs for awhile to heat up the garage and then cycles 2 or 3 times an hour to maintain the temperature...

    Garage Furnace: Radiant heat or Blower Furnace?

    Gets really cold in Michigan...gets really, really cold here in MN...I prefer forced air... things toasty in about 20 minutes on the coldest days in my 800sq ft garage. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200577751_200577751

    The flooding has done quite a bit of damage down that way...hopefully they will have it fixed in time for next summers riding season.
