We worry about how much omotorsysles weight, expensive carbon fiber, cut off fenders, mini directionals, BMW K 1300 weighting less then the FJR. Lot less expensive for the rider to lose 30 LBS. What does that work out to on a HP to weight ratio ?

Maybe worth about 6 HP ?

Oh he is soooo in trouble. If backat55 ever shows up, I say we throw the bones from eaten chicken wings at him.

And to be fair in answering your comment, the cost of losing 30 pounds in my case was a letter from the chief of staff at my hospital asking me to appologize and explain my rant to some billers (never been on the COS radar in 32 years in the biz), pissing off Johnny80s in a rating post, alienating my wife for a bit, losing many hours sleep, and spending about $300 in copays and other medical costs. Then there is the gear and clothes that no longer fit, which I will replace as money allows and if I keep the weight off -- with support I hope to. The gear and clothes runs into the hundreds.

Finally backat55, those in Los Robustos do not worry about a few measily horsepower here or there. When was the last time (most) members here removed a farkle to lose weight? The vast majority hang GPS units, lights, hydration systems, spare fueling systems, stereo devices and numerous other pork-adding items to their bikes.

From this point on I call for all members of this fine MCC to never explain ourselves in a serious manner again.Humor rules! Do the Hells Angels or Gypsy's explain their lifestyle to others?! I think not. To conform is to spiritually die and is fundamentally un-American!

woohooo, you go girl!

MEM, the image of girl-on-girl action is worth the hijack.

Hey Shiny ! :headbonk: :lol:

Whip me! Whip me good....

Another old song... :hyper: :innocent:

If you couldn't tell, I'm having fun with this. I have no graphic and little computer skilz, but until colors/patches available, what about an official Los Robustos graphic for sig. lines? Anybody good at that sort of thing? If not, I'm willing to research if somebody points me in the right direction. After lunch.

No graphic skills here either. I do know how to cut and paste, now if someone could just put a sombrero on the michelin man.

Niehart, you brought back fond memories to me. Mi Nana, my mother's Mom, made the best Tamale Pie on Earth.... CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com

Recipe Location: https://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/255/..._Pie46674.shtml

Great Beemer, I am glad you have fond memories. My wife saw it and aside from her response, "EIGHT tablespoons of butter?! :dribble: " She had me print the recipe and print almost every tamale recipe. "I've been looking for a good Texas tamale recipe for 20 years." Seems her formative years were in the Houston area before moving to Louisiana, and she never got her family's old tamale recipe before it was lost somewhere...

I spent 40 minutes searching, reading and printing tamale recipes. The pain of doing this research was mitigated by someday tasting them....

Just to bring this back on topic a bit, can Tamale's be wrapped and taken on a trip on the FJR and heated easily for a quick lunch or dinner? Saves money and sounds savory.

https://www.elsolmexicanfood.com/pgs/restaurants.html You bet that tamales can be wrapped and taken on a trip on the FJR.

Unfortunately, it's hard to cook them on FJR or BMW F650GS Twin. Different story on my BMW R1150RT, BMW R1100GS and Harley-Davidson FXD. Simply triple wrap the tamales with heavy duty aluminum foil and wire them to the top of the cylinders on the BMW boxer twins. Even easier on the Harley, just put them in the crotch of V-Twin against choke bracket!

This is the restaurant in Chandler that vectervp1 (Arte Montoya) and I buy our tamales at. Senor Arturo's Mom was born in Mexico, so naturally at Christmas and Easter he gets the very best tamales you can have: Homemade tamales by Mamacita!

Shiny, I wonder if tamale pie was a very popular regional dish in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, OK and Louisiana in the 40-60s!

My Nana was born and raised in Viola, Missouri on the Lake of the Ozarks. Moved to San Bernardino, CA in 1952 and she served up tamale pie for my sister Marsha and I once a week. Her grandkids loved that tamale pie, wish she was still here!!

Confirmed.

Shiney I bet you could wire the tamales to the exhaust cans. This sounds like a Los Robustos farkle to me. A metal container that goes on the exhaust with a lid. You drop your food in it and ride a little more then stop for lunch. Okay now we need a chubby machinist in our group. Start recruiting guys.

I invented the "Los Robustos Cooking Method" (LRCM) on rides, in fact, even at the track. I would bring hot dogs, or what ever that needed heating, and after my session I would put said meal on the motor next to the exhaust to reheat quickly. I always had hot meals on the road! This was my little air cooled Duc motor, now the FeeJ puts our far more heat. You could cook a prime rib on an afternoon ride. Think about it.
Here is a picture of my hotdog (shut up pervs) wrapped in foil on the crank case, at the base of my cyclnder and under the exhaust, heating up after my late morning session at the Califonria Speedway pit garage. It was darn good!

Very nice work, FJRBluesman! We'll award you the Meritorious Crossed Steak Knives Award for this one. A prime rib next?

New stop on the Iron Gut Rally is Hash A Go Go in Hillcrest (San Diego). Phenomenal breakfast and huge.

Here is the website Clicky

We are going here for breakfast when you come to town Don. 7:30 am.

Entirely too many tasty choices on that breakfast menu. Almost makes me want to ride to SD. That would definitely beat my 160 mile ride for breakfast last weekend.

I figure I could get easilly a few pounds of meat under the tank (I'll have to remove the air smoggy goodie hose deal) and do a roast. Basting maybe an issue though....

Nah, you just put the meat,and the basting liquid of your choice in some aluminum foil. It's basically self basting.

Johnny: The product you're envisioning has been invented and is in wide use by snowmobilers across Canada (and I presume the US). It's marketed here as a "hotdogger" - an aluminum rectangular pot with a snap-secured lid which attaches by way of a large gear clamp to the expansion chamber of just about any two stroke sled. Put the koubassa and onions in there, ride all morning, and presto a delicious hot lunch!

Let me know if you need one and I'll send it to you. Only the attachment method would be unique to the FJR and I suspect the motor side of the headers might be the place.

I hate to play the "race" card amigo Don, but I have to say I'm saddened to see Canucks ignored in this thread so far - I'm just sayin...

So what does Canada have to offer Los Robustos?

 

[FastJoyRide]

Can you say poutine?

Way up here in the frozen north a certain level of personal Robustness is literally a personal health and safety choice - given the daily windchill factors and all.

Had you made it to CFR this would all be clearer to you Johnnny - senor Don will get it!

I like this idea. Cheaper than buying a boxer or Harley. Would a round aluminum tube like ADV riders use for tool tubes, held in place by big pipe clamps work? My left can already has dings from my mud dump, so I'm ready to experiment warming lunch -- wonder what else would heat/cook in this arrangement easily? In the 30's people in Model T's and such cooked in the engine compartment as they traveled.

Beemerdons: I guess Tamales and tamale pies were big in that part of the country. My wife grew up during the 50's in Texas and they were popular. Anybody have a Tex-Mex recipe to share? My wife would appreciate it.

Their 1 pound burger and 18 ounce rib eye sound tasty for lunch and dinner as well. Wish I knew about it when I was in San Diego in April on the FJR...

Wonder if the admins would be interested in a new section of recommended eateries during tours... hmmmm
