I go with Pirelli Angels. I'm on my 3rd set. Haven't tried the new ones yet but I like the old ones a lot. Last set I just replaced got 7k out of the front and 8k out of the back. I used to run Conti Road Attacks and liked them but they just didn't last. These have similar handling and last a...

Well if you have to have a beemer, well, to each his own. But if you just want to ride, the old Yamaha XT's are damn good bikes. I bought my 85 XT600 in 2002, paid $700 for it, $600 for the shock, $200 for the Supertrapp. I bet I have just as much fun on it as I would a beemer. But I ride it...

Someone say thumper? YAMAHA 85 XT600 (<- Notice, family member), Works Performance shock, Supertrapp. If you got the balls and can hang on, you can go over it.

I'll give you a hint. Look down. :unsure:

years riding - 34 years legal - 0 miles put on fjr in the last 10 months - 14,354 miles put on xt600 in the dirt last summer - ~4500 Maybe someday I'll learn to ride. :blink:

Yamaha should consider bringing some of the other models they already make to the US too. They should at least offer them special order. Just have to ship them to the US instead. Check this out: https://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/Images/...cm26-296753.pdf All four of these bikes look pretty...

I've had a Dell Vostro 1400 for over a year and I really like it. Paid $700 for it at the time. I also still have a Dell Inspiron 8000 that I bought in 2001 my wife still uses every day.

Yeah. That's what I like about them. Makes the bike feel lighter to me. It does take some time to get used to though. Be sure to adjust your suspension for you and watch the front tire pressure. I had read somewhere on-line the Conti factory riders recommended 36psi in the front for a FJR. I...

I am also a Conti lover. I have gone through about 7 sets of road attacks so far. Even on my old UJM's I ran continentals. I haven't heard of the motions, must be a new tire.

While anything is possible it will be very nice. Keep in mind to, even if we do get snow, the next day will probably be in the 70's at least. More that likely any snow will melt very fast. In my opinion, the end of May is the choice time. The thunderstorms aren't as frequent as they are later...

That's too bad. That makes the sex offenders list less useful. I wonder if mooning someone will get you on the list? :dribble:

Not likely but you can't rule it out entirely. https://cbs4denver.com/local/snow.denver.storm.2.713072.html

It should be beautiful, but you never know. Even if its not so good higher up there are lots of good riding roads at the lower elevations. :drinks:

I got an 08 with about 12k miles. I dunno. I just twist the grip and it goes. I am bummed my throttle rocker fell off right when the stoplight turned green though. :arrowheadsmiley: No more cruise control. :cry: :drinks:

I went on a tour of a merchant marine ship not to long ago and the First Mate told us that they were not allowed to arm themselves. Only the Capt and the First Mate wore side arms. I couldn't believe it. :dribble: Looks like Blackwater might be providing security around Somalia...

The cigarette lighters in the vehicles I own are not limited to 12v. My detector can show the voltage measured at the socket and it will go 13+. I don't know what he difference between a hard wire and the cig lighter would be. Better connections? good ground? Straight wire vs coiled? :) typ0

That's cool. I do depot maintenance on the GEODSS sites that collect much of the data for the satellite orbits. This article has some info about them if you're interested (but it gets a little deep at times). https://www.defenselink.mil/transformation/.../ta050106a.html This is one of mt...

If your single you're going to love Singapore. I go through there several times a year to go to DG. I was just there is Sep, right before the F1 race. Its a great place but got to get used to the humidity. Crap, I wish I was single and moving to Singapore. If you need an excellent travel agent...

I use NuFinish.
