Using Twiggs suggestion from another thread, I hit the local Goodwill with tape measure in hand. Found a saucepan that was just the right size. Next stop was the local hardware store for some 1" long bolts and corresponding nuts. A little Dremel and drill work later and I've got a nice...

I see a PM was sent but let me know if you still need a lift down to Colorado Springs. Be glad to help out. Burns1

I was just through there three weeks ago. Denio Junction does not have fuel. Left Winnemucca with a full tank. Once we turned onto 140 the speeds (not speed limit) went WAY up. By the time we hit Adel we were pretty much on fumes. If you can keep your speeds below the century mark (we...

I think I joined up. I have still not really gotten the hang of this whole SPOT thing though. ID should be B1 Burns1

PM sent to Hud. Burns1

Yea riding fast (in a straight line) doesn't bother me much. Lana (the bike) saw right around 140 at least once during the trip and we likely averaged, no joke, 105 for at least 75 continuous miles North of Winnemucca Nevada. So the speed isn't the issue. I think MCRIDER007 is right in that...

OK, so I"m not really sure how to put this into words, so please bear with me. I just did an approx 3600 mile ride from Denver to the West coast and back. Some great riding on freeways and mountain roads. So I'm realizing I having issues riding the curves and I'm not sure what to do about...

Might I suggest you head to the NAFO section in the FJR Organized Meetings section. Big meet-up coming up in a couple of weeks in Montrose! I think you can still get in. Burns1 And ignore gixxerjasen, he's just jealous of our great roads!

I installed a new Givi 4L tanklock tank bag that I received as a birthday gift. Darn thing honks the horn at full left lock, due to Heli-Bar bridge. I may have to come up with something to move it slightly back. It's a neat little bag. Not real big but it seems like it will work nicely for...

Quick question...approx. how many people are we looking at, to provide SWAG for? Burns1

3570 miles, 17 days, 7 states, a handful of colorful characters met on the road, immeasurable laughs and countless smiles later, I am home. Safe and sound. I"m terrible at ride reports, but later this week I may try to put something together. I've still got to get my pictures out of the camera...

Scooter you suck! And you're wrong. Did almost 400 miles today in low to mid 90's and she never got over 4 bars. So there. Neener Neener!!! lol Burns1

This may be in the wrong location so Mods please feel free to move. I'm planning to get out of the Denver area at 0-darkThirty tomorrow, headed to SLC and picking up a riding buddy. From there the plan is to ride across Hot As Hell Nevada to Southern Oregon for a wedding. Once that's all...

Ok. Yea, I didn't think it would hurt anything, but I figured I'd check here. Thanks guys. Burns1

So I foolishly filled the overflow bottle to the top. When I started the bike and let it warm up I got a bit over coolant coming out of the overflow pipe. Temp went up to 7 bars (it's in the 90's here) and then the fans came on and it cooled down some. Please tell me I didn't screw anything...

It's only one little portion of one route. It's all good. :) Burns1

Well this could suck. From the CODOT website: ROAD CONSTRUCTION 550 N US 550 Northbound / Southbound 13 miles south of Ouray (Milemarker 79.1-79.4)(through August 2016) 24 Hours- SU-SA There will be one lane alternating traffic with flaggers for crib wall repair; 25-30 minute delays can be...

Not necessarily to the bike, more like something to make it more bearable. I'm leaving Saturday for a two-week trip to SLC (and grab a buddy), then to Coeur d'Alene, Medford Oregon (and grab about 4 more guys) and then hit the coast. At that point the plan is.. if it's hot go North and if it's...

They did not do the tether. That sounds wild. It was a fun thing to go watch though. Burns1

Despite the fact that I should be getting ready for my trip to Oregon next week, I just had to run over to see this for a few hours. I'd never seen a police skills competition and I didn't want to miss my once-a-year chance. It's not the most exciting thing to watch but it is pretty...
