    Want to buy: stock rear shock

    For aftermarket replacement, the most popular options are the Penske or Ohlins. Most people here buy them from KFG (who recently bought GP Suspension), in Auburn, WA, or Traxxion Dynamics, out in Georgia. If you have a reputable shop locally, there's nothing particularly special about the...

    ASUS tablet

    I've read a few reviews which say the mini is what the iPad should have been all along (in other words, the 7.9" form factor is better and more comfortable than the full size 9.7"). The technology simply didn't exist a few years ago when the first (full size) iPad was released.

    ASUS tablet

    Disclaimer: I'm an Apple fan Don't have any experience with that one, but if you are open to looking at Apple/iOS devices, the new iPad mini can be had for $329

    FJR or other bike rental in Denver?

    Another option is https://www.tourbikes.com At SW-FOG this year, we had a guy who's wife and son flew into Denver (from MN actually...it was TripperMike if you wanted to PM him for his experiences) while he rode in from a cross-country trip. His son rented a bike from them, and seemed to have a...

    Colorado in May or June 2013 need routing advice

    *Should* be ok, but a stray storm isn't out of the question at that time of year (really, it never is at altitude). Check out some of the routes I put together for SW-FOG last year, which was based out of Salida, CO: https://www.sw-fog.com/routes.php These are all loops centering around...

    Trade FJR for R1150Gs?

    Also, there are several "book values" Trade-in which is usually a joke Private party is what most would consider a fair price Retail is the private party value plus additional profit. This is usually too high.

    Fuel cosumption

    Headwind will have a huge impact. During my NAFO trip this year, I ranged everywhere from 30mpg on a tank (strong headwind in either Wyoming or Montana), all the way up to 53.1mpg. Overall average for the trip was 43.37mpg. My lifetime average since I've had the FJR is 44.13mpg* *disclaimer: I...
