    How many gallons have you had to put in?

    I came home from Dillard Ga. On a bald rear tire I stayed on two lane as much as I could and kept speed around 65. After 300 miles I filled the tank with 5.3 gallons. Thats almost 57 MPG.

    Did The Dragon And The Skyway This Weekend

    I was there two weekends ago, and yes what a blast. Good weather but slow cruisers everywhere. I also turned my OK rear tire into a slick.

    How to get the logos/messages off a VStream windshield?

    There is a product that I think White Horse press sells that is just for removing stickers and decals. I have even seen it in bike shops. Also I think one of mini things that WD-40 will do is remove stickers.

    Old WSB Champ at Mid- Ohio

    Looking forward to this years Mid-Ohio race due to Doug Pollan making a return to pro racing. Should be interesting to see how an old school vet can hold up to the young guns.

    2011 Gen 3 FJR 1300 mentioned in Cycleworld

    You can tell Yamaha has worked themself into a corner with the Gen2 FJR. Now that all the bugs and complaints are fixed, now how to make a flawless bike better. If the new bike has the before mentioned heated grips and seat and maybe a power outlet, that would set the bar for all outher Jap brands.
