    Road Suggestions to Tellico?

    Hey guys... Not sure where to put this one so we'll start with here. :-) Going to be heading down to the Tellico Plains area from the Lexington area in a couple weeks with a varied group of riders and looking for road suggestions. The group skill will range from peg scrapers to 7 month new...

    My EOM wishlist

    Keith, Was going to post something similar as I also will not be able to make EOM this year so I'll just have to live vicariously through you living vicariously through them ok? Couple things to throw out there also... 1. Don't let Fencer near your tailpipe. 2. If anyone heads up to New...

    2009 FJR1300 info released!

    Really? I never thought so. Always seemed fine to me. :-) Seriously trying to figure out the whole lack of color options still. Hell, I wouldn't even mind seeing the Desert Sand color they have in Europe (Greece? Spain?) or something. Not that it's like a deal breaker or anything for...

    Tire suggestions??

    Just to add to whats already been posted thus far the Avons are superb. Very predictable and work well even when cold. Wet grip is great and they hold up pretty well on this beast! :-) My 06 came stock with the Metz's and while they were decent once they warmed up (took forever but still...)...

    Yamaha 2009 Model Intro

    Outstandingly enough after hearing a bit more it looks like the new counter rotating dual rod shaft drive will negate the effects of shaft elevation under acceleration. That coupled with a new symetric performance u-joint with counter-balancers is very intriguing. One might be led to the...

    2009 Kawasaki GTR1400 photos

    Figures, Kawi would come out with a red one before Yammy did. I wouldn't be surprised if they chose that color just to spite Yammy knowing everyone has wanted a red option. Let alone offering *GASP* TWO colors for the same model year? Also, the seats are different eh? Nothing wrong with some...

    Yamaha 2009 Model Intro

    Never was much for fishing personally. I've got big fingers and never could quite get the bait on the hook effectively....... Oh, I've also heard that the new counter-rotating dual rod shaft drive almost completely eliminates the shuddering feeling of the GenII's shaft jacking under hard...

    Tires at EOM

    Anyone considering riding down there prior/during/after EOM should do it. It's not really that far from the Briar and the road up to the Hotel is superb for scrubbin in your tires. I ran down there from KY on my way to EOM last year and it was well worth it. They have superb service and were...

    First farkles!

    Nice! I see you also got the aftermarket shield with the "Tri-Focal Oval Bubble" which helps reading the roadsigns and with doing the 3,9,12 scans down the road. :-P

    Got out of mowing the lawn...

    So, sitting there earlier talking to my kid and he's at that age where he "knows everything" ya know? Just got back from his first year of college and a little cocky. Gotta love him. At any rate, he's going on and on about why do we still have books or libraries..blah...blah...when you can...

    Ari?

    Hey... So, I'm sitting there on the dum...er...duing my morning contemplation & appreciation for life time and realized that I was out of reading material. I had just finished my copy of Keith "droppa" Load's book, "A Twist of the Roll for #2" and had recalled that someone, somewhere mentioned...

    Riding and Crashing and Learning

    Outstanding that you're on the mend! I had a similar experience with the RN's when I had a get off about 9 years ago which resulted in two compression fractures in mah back. Absolutely was thankful for the (in my mophine induced state) super hawt nurses who took care of me for the week I was...

    We Lost A Great Friend

    Well just f**k. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said already, but damn. Prayers will go out for his family and loved ones. I was doing ok until the pic below. Not sure what it was about it but after seeing it I was done. Seemed fitting.
