Another great day of riding at SEOR. Still hasn't been any rain today. It looks like we'll get some rain starting at 4 or 5pm. Rain through the night and all out of here by 6 or 7am. The weather cooperated so well. I had no idea we would have so much time to ride these straight, flat and boring...

Rain didn't start today until a little after 3pm in Marietta. No rain tomorrow morning. Rain should come in about the same time tomorrow. Lots of good riding time. Rain will be out of here by Sunday morning for the ride home. We got really lucky this year.

That's fantastic! I hope to see the bike there some day. I made 2 trips to the Barber Museum on my FJR from Pittsburgh. I believe every motorcyclist needs to see that place at least once. That's very thoughtful of you sir.

Panman. I wasn't a huge fan of the wheels when I bought the GT last August, but I'm a fan now. Really cool. Goes well with a cool bike. I'm thinking about going for an Ivan flash of the ECU later this year. It will make the power delivery even smoother.

I'd give it a little more time Ray before bailing out. It might not be all that bad. Only 50% chance of rain on Saturday and 40% chance of morning showers on Sunday. I'm sure the weather forecast will change again before the weekend.

I know nothing about this bike, but it looks like a good buy for someone. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/-5007393749

Many thanks to El Toro Joe for securing the hotel and overseeing the SEOR. If this isn't the best rally of the year, it's certainly one of the best. If you aren't able to attend, shame on you for 6 weeks. I believe it was Wayne who started this ramble originally if I remember correctly. The...

I've been following the weather prediction for SEOR for a few weeks. It's been showing a rainy weekend for some time. Now the weather forecast is showing a 40% chance of rain on Friday and pretty much rain free on Saturday and Sunday. Of course the predictions change every few hours, so we'll...

The Shinko Ravens last as long as any other tire I've run on the FJR. They're definitely my go to. I read other great tire reviews and then have to give them a try. I always seem to go back to the Shinko Ravens for good performance and a low price. You'll definitely get more miles per dollar...

I'm mounting a new Shinko Raven on the rear of my FJR tomorrow morning. I just polished off a PR4 on the rear. It was a good tire, but not a good bang for the buck. I've run Shinko Ravens numerous times on the FJR. I've always been pleased with their performance in all conditions. I have no...

We sold Trevor's red Ninja 650 with all the Givi bags this past Saturday. A co-worker bought it for his wife who has been riding a Ninja 250 for years. Trevor and I will share the FJR and the Tracer GT. We hated to see it go since it was Trevor's first street bike. I'm sure he'll still be...

I bought one of these and it's been going strong for a couple of years. Certainly cheap enough. https://www.batterysharks.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=yamaha+FJR&Submit=

Great news! You look great Frank!

Hey Mel! Be sure to save some rubber on that rear tire for the trip.

IN! Trevor decided not to walk for his diploma for graduation since SEOR is so much more important. Room is booked. I would hate to miss the opportunity to ride with Joe and all the other misfits. See you all there! We also get to see Grayray's new GT. Fun, fun fun!

Right now I'm leaning toward Alpinestars Air Plus v2 XCR Gore-Tex boots. I'm really grateful for all the suggestions. I really liked the Sidi idea until I saw the $500 price tag. I don't even like myself THAT much. Still investigating and love to hear what has worked for others over the...

Uh oh. Yep, in a hot weather, that will do. Welcome aboard BTW.

Excellent shin protection.

My brother bought the Klim Outlander GTX boot and was showing them to me last weekend. He loves them! Says they're light, great to ride with and walk on. I read a review of a guy who rode a 7000 mile trip with them. Said they were excellent, but had to constantly make sure his gore tex...
