Dave was a great fellow and a good friend of mine, I think of him often.

Here in Colorado, everything is E-10 except for a few stations scattered around no matter the season. I do have a Maverick station a couple miles from my house that has E-0, but it's not cheap. I use it for my mowers, etc. I did try it in my Honda pick-up and it definitely has more pickup but...

I purchased an egg (IIRC got it from Amazon, cheap but I think it's as good as the Green Egg and no ceramics to crack and replace. This Komodo set me back three hundred bucks. Made by Char-Griller, Tragger would be a good choice for set and forget. My neighbor has one and he loves it.

You've been here long enough to know what a post whore is, but I'm pretty sure there's some here that have you beat :)

We've been here for a long, long time, BUT I got you beat by one day.... OTOH, You're much higher up on the post whoring Wonder if that other forum we jumped over from still exists.

S'OK I'm used to it, being an old timer

That's funny :) I can't remember any of my posts that others were desperate to read. Ever...

LOL

The reason I chose the comic sans and larger fonts was out of respect for older folks like myself, who's sight might be fading a bit, or a lot. Sorry about the font, in the future I will leave things alone.

Japan?

Fourteen years ago today my FJR arrived at the dealer after a six month wait - well worth the wait. There were two of them waiting to be uncrated. I told them to build the other one first, I would wait (learning curve). I think these were the first in Colorado - IIRC mine was #xxxxx176. What a...

Ahh, the MDH. I believe the first time I experienced it was during the first NAFO here in Colorado (Golden). I signed up for the Iron Butt ride instead of the BBQ. It was quite a ride and part of it was from Silverton to Grand Junction via MDH. I have the SS1k ride on my photo site - click link...

Sorry to hear that. Past few years I've become heat intolerant (mainly age related I think), so my Wing stays mainly in the man cave - poor thing. You definitely did the right thing by getting off the road IMHO.

About Darksiding, I attended the first NAFO in Golden CO and rode my Gl1800 on the SS1k with my first CT Kumho Ecsta run flat. Only had 150 miles on the tire but did just fine. I was the only rider not on an FJR. Nothing to fear from Dark side

I do not know from experience, but that seems to be an issue from what I've read comparing FJRs and STs. IMHO the FJR is a more funner ride )

Kc5 "I'm actually considering picking up an older Gen 1 bike just to ride to work. I have a 50 mile a day commute and don't like stacking up the miles on my current bike, just to go to work. I'm still researching the quirks of the Gen 1 bikes and don't know alot about them yet." They run hot -...

On my '03 the ECU would 'hunt', resulting in surging especially while chugging through a small farm burg while riding blue highways. It seemed to be caused mainly by very lean co settings. I did the Barbarian jumper thing to the ECU and it cured the surging problems by running the EFI richer...

Not much of a stud. I dealt with the sales manager on the Wing purchase from the gitgo. Told him about internet prices from various stores around the country and he said he couldn't touch the price. I said ok, I will go out of state and save a few thousand. By the time I got home (three whole...

Never did a fly and drive, but I saved significant bucks by twisting the arms of sales managers and store owners showing them internet advertised prices. I would have no problem with purchasing a bike from afar, but I could get close to the same price locally. I was successful doing this with a...

Yes indeedy, changing out the Wingofilter can be a days work, but much cheaper than dealer doing it. IIRC, filter change on the FJR was about a 15 minute job.
