Oh I plan to! Thanks for the tips all!

My family will be going up to the Wisconsin Dells next weekend. I'm thinking about taking off Friday afternoon and meeting up with them on Saturday afternoon. My thoughts: Ride from Canton, IL to La Crosse, WI on Friday afternoon and spend the night eating cheese and drinking beer. Saturday...

+1 for the Russell. I took my first 'long' ride a few weeks after getting the FJR and by the time I was half way home I wanted off the bike. After looking around online seeing how much one would cost, I figured winning the wife over to the idea would be a lost cause. Then I took her on her...

Gary, I picked up a set of the FZ1's last season for $116 + ~$10 for shipping from Cycle Parts Warehouse (huge improvement over stock for a wide guy like me). You'd be looking for part numbers 5LV-26290-00-00 and 5LV-26280-00-00. Not sure about clearing the Clearwater brackets...

I love Pandora, also a two year Pandora One subscriber. My only complaint is that sometimes the application will hang and will not move on to the next song until I quit the app or fast forward on to the next song (Android version of the application), no big deal if I'm in the cage... but show...

I can't speak for the crash protection that the Tour Master Solution WP boots offer, but I'm a big fan of the water proofing and the price.

Received my seat today, put it on the bike and made vroom vroom noises as the first flakes of the Illinois winter started to hit the ground. REALLY thought about putting on the gear and going for a ride, but not a fan of all the salt they have on the roads already. Thanks again PMSPAUL for...

Great report as always. Thanks for sharing.

+1 on the Nelson Rig XL. With bags and Garauld back rest both on the bike the cover will cover almost all of the bags. Packs down nice and tight when not in use.

Guess we have a few other Gizmodo readers around here? ;)

Riding solo I use a bladder inside a soft sided cooler in my tank bag. This allows me to put some of those blue cooler things in with the water bladder and will keep it cool for a good part of the day. Like others, I do not want to give up my passenger pegs. Two up I wear a Camelbak and the...

AWESOME report Frenchy, thanks for sharing.

In for rider and pillion both. S/O can't pass up a good deal so she finally gave her blessing. :yahoo:

Very nice!

Props to Jeff yet again. Got a dud of a Starcom1 the first time around and Jeff went the extra mile to make it right. Would recommend Bikeeffects.com to anyone.

Guess I’m also in the minority here… 26. I was sick of borrowing my father-in-laws Sportster every time I wanted to go for a ride ‘on the paved road.’ Saw a 05 in Peoria a couple years ago and fell in love. Plan on always having an ‘old man’s bike’ in my lineup.

Bought a '03 with 65k on the clock last summer. Previous owner didn’t have any of the maintenance records as he did everything himself, but after taking one look at his other bikes and the state of his garage (I've never seen a showroom that looked that clean) I figured I could take his word on...

+1 to Garauld's backrest. Wife has never been so happy.

Love the picks Nik, thanks for sharing!

Got a set of these pants and have been pretty happy. The armor tends to slip a bit, but will be correcting that soon with a little sewing. Cooler than jeans temp wise. Very happy with the purchase.
