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 ?

backat55: Sorry to have to do this, but you're FOREVER banned from Los Robustos M/C! Heretic!! Confirmed by johnny80s.

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.

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...

Dear Dave, We in Los Robustos M/C would never turn our backs on our Canadian friends. Mary Ellen is already a member and you are included also. Poutine will naturally be on Los Robustos M/C comfort menu. Back bacon, Molson, beans and toast, ginger beef, hearty breads, pate chinois, bannock, bouilli, habitant, jam busters, Nanaimo bars, butter tarts, beaver tails, Persians, Suere a la creme, glosette pieces, Shreddies Cereal, Tim Horton's, spruce beer, pemmican, force meat, flipper pie, toutins, Oka cheese, Yukon Jack, Ice wine, sea vegetables, pets de soeurs and my all time favorite: Feves au lard!

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.

Shiney is really into this. We need to give him a title. Don as Sargent at Arms you are the official title giver. I will submit El Grande (the big one) for consideration.

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

Great Idea. After we get our logo maybe we can have a Los Robustos section too.

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

I just checked out the menus from Hash A Go Go. WOW! That would have to be the home-base for Los Robustos! I could see having to put the bags on my bike, just to carry the left-overs from a meal like that. It sounds as though the proprieters worship food in both quantity and quality. Will definitely have to check this place out.

John, I'm also in favor of calling Shiney, El Grande! The only drawback I can see to El Grande for Mike Mac is that it's very close to SkooterG's nickname: "El Pendejo Grande"-which is The Big *******. But everybody likes ShineyPU, no problemos!

Silver Penguin, WOW is right; a double WOW! Any restaurant that has meat loaf on the breakfast menu es Numero Uno ese!

Suggestions for a logo? Ok

I give you: ¡Seňor Robusto!

 

[FJRBluesman]

Suggestions for a logo?I can make changes....

Great job!!!
I like this one!

Maybe food in front of him, or utensils in hand... also may need to incorprate a helmet, or MC gear so they know we ride.

 

[Old Michael]

He's not wearing pants,... is he?

And he's got no nipples.

I'm just sayin'.

We really need to get you a girl friend or boyfriend or what ever your into. Maybe just some lotion...

That is a good start but he does need some food. I don't think we could copyright the Michelin man though.

THIS THREAD IS AWESOME.

My wife and I were just discussing with my Dad, before our last ride, how all motorcycle rides need to involve ice cream or similar things.

I'm telling you, there's nothing better after a good ride than a good meal. Personally, I feel that a big slice of chocolate cake, real cake, not boxed stuff, is a goal worthy of motorcycle ride.

We were discussing our labor day Fall Falls trip plans, and I was listing off items we could cook and what cooking gear we would need (Chocolate cake in a dutch oven FTW?) for our days of camping, and my Mom was commenting on how our motorcycle trips tend to revolve around food.

Hot sauce in your gas tank will clean your fuel system, clean your engine, make your bike shoot flames from the tail pipe, and cut half a second off the quarter...

I will note, however, that hot sauce applied to your tires does NOT improve quarter mile times. It can, however, get your tire smoking without even starting the bike!

A good logo would be a guy in a motorcycle helmet (full face, mirror shield) and race leathers sitting at a table with a fork in one hand and a knife in the other and all kinds of food...I wish I was a graphic artist...

I am speechless and honored jefes! I do not deserve such an honor, but I accept your wisdom on this subject. SkooterG can be the *******, and I shall be ... ahhhh, women are present. :clapping:

 

[ShinyPartsUp]

Noble logo effort indeed! I too think we need to tie food and motorcycling into it somehow. The script in the second photo is mucho robusto and thick, and IMHO appropriately imparts the large appetites involved.

Back bacon, Molson, beans and toast, ginger beef, hearty breads, pate chinois, bannock, bouilli, habitant, jam busters, Nanaimo bars, butter tarts, beaver tails, Persians, Suere a la creme, glosette pieces, Shreddies Cereal, Tim Horton's, spruce beer, pemmican, force meat, flipper pie, toutins, Oka cheese, Yukon Jack, Ice wine, sea vegetables, pets de soeurs and my all time favorite: Feves au lard!

:lol: Don, you are a true gourmandgourmet! Rock on with the Los Robustos M/C plans ! :drinks:

I didn't see maple sugar candy on the list. That's one of the things I miss now that I'm in AZ. That and cheap, readily availble Molson Canadian. But I never have to shovel snow again, so I guess it's a fair trade off. :lol:

GOOD point ! (actually, they're ALL good points ). I made "maple curry chicken pasta" for dinner. A good friend makes his own maple syrup and it is GOOD - like "drink out of the bottle" GOOD. And he keeps us well supplied with it. (there was a lot of finger-licking going on as I added the syrup to the chicken tonight )

ps - if I ever make it to AZ on the Feej, I'll bring you ms candy

Senor Don: Gracias - I hated to beg.

I appreciate that MEM is already the inaugural Canadian member but with all due respect I think you're after her defib paddles not her eating!

Having recently met Mary Ellen and having read lots of ride reports etc from Jill, I suspect they're both in Ray's "SkooterG class": "they're so thin they have to run around in the shower to get wet".

On the other hand in me you now have a Canadian Robusto member of substance!

Mucho gusto!

Dave

To club members: I rode La Poderosa Diabla this late afternoon/early evening. Research required I visit Digger Don's cafe and greasy spoon in Sutherlin, Oregon. The 5 lb. burger is now $19.95, and is actually a measily 1.5 lb. burger. The weight of the bun, fixings, etc. total 5 pounds. You are required to eat everything on the plate, including fries for it to be free. On a plus size note, they now have the option (for extra diner-o) to add bacon, cheese and other toppings. More than one person can share and they will cut it in pieces. But the burger has to be eaten by one person to be free of cost. They request if a motorcycle gang plans to meat (sorry about the bpun) there, that they be given some notice to ensure enough buns, fixings and beef, etc. are prepared and ready to be cooked and served.
