Oh geez, this is not the thread I wanted to see the night before I'm installing both the G2 and VC. :stop: (Ok, let me rephrase that... before my super-duper mechanic and friend installs them while I hold his Diet Coke and say "yeah, sure, I follow you completely".) I'm not really seeing a...

HUGE +1 for this foundation and their efforts. Having lost a 7 year old brother to a brain tumor, I can't say or do enough for the PBTF. I plan to visit the Asheville HQ during my upcoming East Coast jaunt in May. Thank you for posting this information. AGirl

I'll also add that the importance of a HM for me is not only for being seen by other drivers but by animals. Deer respond to two things... noise and FLASHING light. I can recall multiple personal experiences where the HM was a significant factor; they are grazing roadside, hear the sound of the...

DOT regulations strictly prohibit modulator use at night even if momentarily. Ditto for Canada. AGirl

+1 for using a HM FWIW, I personally will not own a bike w/o one. Too little experience w/Kissan to feel comfortable providing feedback. AGirl

IMHO, you're only crazy if you don't try. :thumbsup: Yes, the sign you ask about speaks the truth. It is my understanding that if you drive it then you don't need to show the title; if you bring it (tow/haul) then you DO need the title.... so, if you ride your bike across you're ok, if you...

Per "Scott" at Gen-Mar (505-743-2243 or 877-471-7515): "Limited qty in stock, currently shipping immediately, $89.99, 1" up, 1/2" back" AGirl

Best wishes on a safe and enjoyable ride. The warning signs a/b the Key Deer are no joke... take heed and keep your eyes peeled in that section. AGirl

Thanks, Midlifefjr. :blush: To answer your questions... auxillary lights are fork mounted MotoLights, mirrors are OEM FZ1 mirrors, and GPS is Garmin 2610. Hope your farkling future is bright! :) AGirl

Unfortunately (or fortunately!) at that time I'll be Alaska-bound. Thanks for the feedback.... glad folks enjoy the reports. I actually just finished editing the Palomar & Pie! report to include more pics. If you want to see a super cool photographic mosaic of just how sweet Palomar Mtn's South...

When the passing lane needs a passing lane.... Maybe one day I'll write a report a/b it (2007 Benelli TNT Cafe Racer 1130)... gotta love the contrast of the bling-bling Benelli and the bling-less functional A-suit, huh? AGirl

Yes, I am aware of this (certain states requiring relectivity on helmet). I have personally never been stopped for this since I keep something reflective on my helmets anyway for safety and not b/c it's law. IIRC, a friend of a friend was stopped in MD for another reason and was given a warning...

Very pleased w/the new bike sans the life of the rear OEM Bridgestone tire (4k). Here are a few reports of the first 5,500 miles w/my FJR: A Run for the Border... and a Stamp! Palomar Mountain & Pie The "F-A-R" Journey AGirl

I respectfully disagree w/removing the bags.... unless you spend most of your time riding without them. I just returned from my 2 hour class tonight, where I attend every week fully loaded as if I'm on a multi-day ride since I'm interested in learning the limits of the bike in the conditions...

I'm currently in a 12 hour (2hrs/wk for 6 wks) Skill Improvement class myself w/my 07. I always make it a point to take a class whenever I get a new ride since it provides a great opportunity to bond w/the bike and become more familiar w/its limits in a controlled environment as well as correct...

Don't know if you'll get this in time, but.... **HEAVY** LEO presence last week I-10 near BR, LA and again near Van Horn, TX (strangely Ft. Stockton was clear). I thought my V1 might start smoking after the duty it pulled. Best wishes for a safe journey. AGirl

Another option: HERE .....the chick knows how to pack! :yes2: Seriously, she's got good stuff. I'd recommend ROK-Straps over the bungees. AGirl

Rick, I'd recommend the Caberg Justissimo for oval heads in the Flip flavor. Internal sun visor and anti-fog score big points for LD miles w/me. +1 also for Scorpion EXO-400.. I've got over 100k on 'em and think they are just super (anti-fog and anti-scratch visors are the cat's ass)...

FWIW, I would absolutely :excl: **NOT** :excl: recommend the TT tank bag that you are referring to (Engage Bags Connection). I had this bag on my DL1000 last year in which I put on 56,000 miles (yes, in a year). Because I was on the road and had already wired up the bag and integrated many...

+1 for HEAT!! I'd imagine riding in 16 degrees at 70mph for hours is not fun :cold: ... but w/heat I was just fine. :thumbsup: +1 for Gerbing I'm fixin' to sell a pair of Gerbing G3 gloves size Large (new in package) if you're interested. AGirl
