    1.3 Gallon Gas Tank Reserve

    After commuting 75 miles round trip on my 06 Gen II for a couple years now, I FINALLY get around to searching out this thread... I usually fill up after every other commute because my reserve countdown would come on at about the 190-200 mile mark and I wasn't sure about another 25 miles or so...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    Bought my Gen II (2006) almost exactly 12 months ago with 58,300 on it. Figured almost 17K in one year wasn't too bad for a newbie who hasn't had a bike in about 20 years. Helped a lot by a 70 mile round-trip commute and a 4K+ trip out to Colorado from VaBeach this last summer.

    Horn: Euro Blast

    Great thread - exactly what I was looking for. Commute home last night was the last straw: laid on my horn as a driver drifted over into my lane - didn't phase them a bit. Gotta get something with some shock value - stock horn says: "excuse me, but if your radio is off and there is no other...

    Gen II California Sci Touring Windshield - Large

    I think you will be (not just trying to sell you a windshield). If I hunched over a bit, I could get a relatively quiet buffet-free zone. We tall guys will never get the "cone of silence" - but the CalSci was very close to what seemed reasonable for me - I would get some buffeting just around...

    Appropriate to counsel other riders how to dress appropriately?

    I'm going to take a little different tact here. I think there are a lot of riders/passengers that have never had anyone offer a non-confrontational expression of concern for their safety. It might just get to start thinking about it. If they are offended, just apologize and let it go - then...

    Gen II California Sci Touring Windshield - Large

    Hi - I have a barely used CalSci GenII Large touring windshield for sale. It spent about two hours on my bike before I decided to go back to the stock screen. Great windshield - CalSci did their research well - I am just too tall for the screen (6'-7") and I didn't want to stick anything...
