Thanks for all the tips, but my trip fell through. I'm quite bummed, but maybe I can replan later in the year.

I was thinking of i-5 to grant's pass and then 199 over to 101 and down that way. Have you run that way before?

So I think I may head out of the seattle area tomorrow/Friday and head down to the San Francisco area to visit a cousin. I'd like to ride my fjr, but haven't ever rode a long distance. I'm looking for some tips since I've never gone on a long multi-day trip.

What a wonderful event! Like all have said before, a great big thank you to Bryan, Marissa and family for hosting. It does seem good to get a hand tool in my had rather than a keyboard! And thanks to the crew for letting me try to keep up with them on the way home. Boy do I have a lot to...

Sorry, I get to be the new guy. :)

On the advice of Hudson, I'd like to check to make sure the steering head is torqued down and lube the drive splines and shaft. Will anyone have a steering head bearing socket there? Jeff.

Dang! I'd love to ride down with you folks, but I'm getting back in town from a trip early on Sat. morning. I don't think I'll even hit the airport until after 9. So by the time I get home, grab the bike, whatever, you'll be long gone. Anyway, I'll see you all there later on. I'm really...

This is the crux of the matter. Those M2005 Snell helmets will be on the market for several years. So I don't think the parade has mostly passed. This is still a timely issue. What I'm not clear about is how the M2010 standard compares to DOT or the Eurpean standard. I look for the latter...

Ouch! I'm really sorry about your bike. I'm glad that you came through ok.

I do some woodworking and that is really a beautiful piece! Puts my stuff to shame. Way to go!

Can you handle another new guy? I'd like to come down if that is ok. I just bought a used '08 FJR. It turns out that Hudson and I work in the same building. We had lunch yesterday and he encouraged me to come.

OK I also work in Building 8 and just bought an FJR (08). This is too weird.
