    Rain suits for big guys

    I've had a hard time finding a rain suit to fit. Got some extra padding around the middle, and i can't find nothing comfortable. Anybody else have the same problem? I'm 6'2 @275, I would also like a suit big enough to just slip it on over my riding gear, but still be able to move.

    Jacket recommendations

    I have the motoport ultra II Cordura jacket and pants. Great for a year round suit. A little warm in Ga in the summer, but great for the rest of the year. I've ridden quit comfortable with the jacket and a sweatshirt on underneath down into the upper 20's.

    Critters

    glue boards around the tires /stand. We used to bait them with peanut butter at the grocery store. Snap traps are more fun though.

    Is it just a Squid thing to do?

    I ride the highways all the time around Atlanta. I run 75 to 285 to 20 by 6 flags when i go to work on the bike. I wear my riding gear over my shorts and t shirt to work. Some of the HD guys make fun of me, but when they are gettting skin grafts, it won't be tears of joy they are shedding in...

    Any good divorce lawyer out there

    my only divorce cost me $150. It was in Fl. and we did a simple divorce. We agreed how to split up everything, which wasn't much. I walked away with the short end of the stick, but it was still cheaper than paying a lawyer. If you are fighting over 10 grand in home equity and burn up 20...

    T-rex frame sliders

    drop in MPG's

    I've noticed my mpg's have dropped. I'm barely getting 40. I used to get mid 40's all the time. I noticed the drop about the same time i had a bad case of farkleitis. I added a Givi 46 and 2 bros exhaust. Does the top case cause more drag? or is it from being able to hear the bike growl...

    Does the FJR encourage faster riding?

    mine seems to be comfortable at 90. I came off the old Concours and before that a 750 Yam. Both bikes felt like they were going to blow up at 85. i have to watch the needle alot more on the FJR. When we came back from bike week, there was a stretch we were cruising at 105. My buddy was on a...

    Looking for shortcut from I-75 to I-85 around Atlanta

    if you are going to be through that time of night, there shouldn't be any problems. many times I have left Orlando around 8 pm and never let off the gas in my big truck. Even the road work in S Ga shouldn't mess you up. Hitting ATLanta at 3 am you could just breeze right through downtown...
