    Lumberg's Big Day

    I did give a little tilted head look when I saw that.... lol. Mostly I thought that it would be hard to put the Spot on your body/sleeve if you have no gear/jacket to put it on. haha! (I say all that with a smile on my face and am not meaning to be cruel! We all have our moments...)

    Slaying it...

    I love my seat cover!!! It's just so... ME! Thanks! Yeah, that resort is absolutely gorgeous! And they aren't holding back at all on the rebuild- still beautiful and moving along quickly! Tank is awesome!!! Extremely happy with it!! You're welcome. It's a good song, ya know... Lol. And...

    Slaying it...

    oh, I am planing on getting back to that area this fall!! But not the white-knuckling. That was not fun. (I am referencing the water crossing incident that occurred in AR.) That's what kept flashing through my mind when I was crossing the water and mud on the Devil's Triangle....

    Slaying it...

    Exactly!!! A "marker in time"! And maybe you should try really hard to get to a meet-up. Like this fall... I figured it's worth a shot of trying to convince you- since it worked with the Aerostich jacket and sleeve pocket! And if you ever need the Spot (which hopefully you won't), you'll...

    Slaying it...

    Good times.... good times.... Lol I have to laugh that you recognized the Coach purse!! And she was a pretty good pillion. She'd take pictures while riding and at stops, open snacks while on the road, and genuinely go along with whatever I wanted- never once complaining!

    Slaying it...

    It was quite a shock to me that I did NOT stop at Iron Pony! I mean, I was so close.... But, I had somewhere to be that had a time restraint- and I was cutting it close. And I didn't have anything on my shopping list... though that never stops me any other time!! Lol.

    Lumberg's Big Day

    Well, that was a pleasant surprise to have someone come up and say hello, and have it be a forum name that I recognized! Thanks for approaching, even while I shoved pringles into my mouth... Right back at you Redfish! Looking forward to EOM, and many other gatherings this summer and fall...

    Slaying it...

    When I started this adventure, I had no intentions of putting this ride into words. But as the miles went on… I realized this is a journey that needs to be shared. July 4 is a holiday. So I had that day off. Luckily it lined up nicely with my “weekend” of Wednesday and Thursday. So a 3-day...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    Alright. I'm a bit more IN now than I was last time!! I've changed my plans, and I will no longer be riding to Maine on the way to Colorado. Instead I will be exploring the great state of Colorado more in depth, and visiting with friends. There's just something about this state that has me...

    Soft bags on top of side cases

    Same here. Each end of the Rok Strap is attached to the grab bar. Then strapped around the dry bag. So you can unbuckle the strap, take the dry bag, and the strap system is still attached to the bike. And if you're riding with a pillion, they can keep an eye on placement of the dry bags...

    Soft bags on top of side cases

    For the side bags, I use the smaller Rok straps. I think they were about 1 inch wide, and maybe 40 inches long? I also have the bigger Rok straps- thicker and longer. I use them for many things as well. Get all of them. Get multiples. You'll use them. lol Here was my set-up.... oh...

    Soft bags on top of side cases

    I used to travel some big trips 2-up when I first got the FJR. I used small/medium cylinder drybags, that would lay front to back on the sidecase. 1 Rokstrap attached to the passenger grabrails, and then wrapped around the center of the bag. Tail of the strap I would run through the D ring on...
