I guess I'm one of the exceptions to the rule. Got a Corbin Dual Canyon on my 2005. 2 weeks after getting it (and only local short rides) did a 1150 mile ride (straight through) from my home in Texas to a darkside GL1800 ride in that was being held in Summersville, WV. Only "issues" I had was...

Been thinking of some myself and would be interested if the price is right. Gen 1

Seats are really personal preference. I've got the Corbin Canyon Dual Sport and purchased it about 200 miles before an iron butt I did from Texas to W. Virginia. Once the seat got broken in (about the time I got there) it was really comfortable (for me) and the trip back (2 650 mile days) was...

Got the new Custom Dynamics universal flasher module in a while ago but just now got around to doing a short video of it. The mode it's using is the #6 (BlasterX for 3 seconds then solid).

I have the AirTech version of these, and they are fantastic. Comfortable, lightweight and really cool in the hot Texas summers. I used them on a trip from Texas to W. Virginia (rode it 1 day up) and ran into rain. Feet stayed dry and provided good grip on the wet roads at lights.

Was a long trip. Between stopping to clean the "love" bugs off every 30 minutes or so around Texarkana and then all the construction and accidents that folks have in those zones it took me 23 hours to get up here. Total saddle time (GPS not moving time) was almost 20 hours. No real food stops...

Palestine... about 50 miles from Tyler.

Well, about to eat a quick bite of soup and then heading out. My wife got me a SPOT Gen 3 to play with so the shared map of the ride (and the next 7 days) will be located here.

I'm rather particular with my socks and undies. They have to be a certain brand and style or I'm not comfortable. And one saddle bag is devoted to those t-shirts to bring back to the poor suckers - I mean family members - that won't get to go. I could have packed another several days worth...

Saddlebags are empty. Had to have some room to bring the trinkets back for Momma. Basically all I have is 2 pairs of clothes and 1 long sleeve shirt in the tail bag and then a few items for the door prizes. The round bag on the back has my rain gear and the waterproof Joe Rocket jacket...

Planning on meeting a bunch of GoldWing DS'ers in Summersville, W. Virginia for one of their bi-annual ride-ins (I had a Wing before the FJR). Haven't done a whole bunch of "planned" riding - usually just hop on the bike and ride till I am tired and then head back home. About 1200 miles 1 way...

I've got my second pair of Rev'It Airwave pants coming in. The last pair and my build didn't quit agree with each other. Small matter of the top button popping loose any time I breathed. I normally wear a 38x32 blue jean pant and these were the XL size (was going to layer them with some...

Pretty sure those are halogen bulbs and I think he's asking specifically about LED H4 bulbs that are worth buying (most either scatter the light or the light output is dim).

Wheels is really an inspirational person. His handicap doesn't appear to slow him down that much. If I remember correctly, he's riding a GL1800 trike outfit currently.

I found that pretty much was the only really noticeable time for me also. In fact, it actually rides much better than the Yoko I had on my GoldWing (which had a really bad tendency to track in the ruts).
