All, Thanks for the kind words on the dash fabrication. Yes I did say I would keep the bike forever but as in life interests change and opportunities come up. While I truly loved the FJR my wife was not a huge fan of the passenger accommodations. No matter what I spent on seats, etc she and...

You say No helmet to a guy wearing sandals as highway footwear?? LOL. On A side note, now I fear I need to open a new topic regarding letting go of the steering on the highway. My bars would start shaking??

Must be an issue with my bike only. If I did that the bars would start shaking violently until the front end did an Endo. You are a brave man!

Odd follow up question. Hoping I didn't make a mistake. With almost certain precipitation this weekend I coated the windscreen with Rain-X. Will this help or did I create an issue? Just like me to sweat the details at the finish line........ :unsure: Dave

Same for all! With the now very strong probability for a wet outing, TAKE IT SLOW! A successful meet is one with no casualties. Be safe and look forward to meeting some new faces.

Bike is loaded, and the departure clock has started. I leave in 15 hours!!! :yahoo: Dave

Can you pick me up a 6" BMT while your there? :yahoo: Worth a shot! Dave K

Very much looking forward to the journey and meeting some new people! Since I (Dad) is leaving my daughter thought it would be fun to test out all the camping gear in the yard since she couldn't go. Had a blast and even with a Heavy rain all night we stayed dry and comfy! Having Wifi and an...

Looking forward to it Mark. I will attend with a 100% on the BMW (old school rattle can) by the name of Brad R. The other rider Joe Mason is an old school (Old guy) also from NC that really knows the area having ridden for many many years but I already told you he was old. LOL. I vouch for...

Wheaton, What a great looking trip! Count me in with Tent in tow. As long as non FJR's are allowed, I also have 2 very good friends in the NC area that will also attend. They have visited this location before and would love to join. They wont be hard to find as one drives a BMW that sounds...

Yikes Joe! Very sorry to hear you had a mishap. Glad to hear your OK! By the look of the plastics I am guessing the sliders didn't work well in the grass. Looks like you'll have a small winter project ahead of you but at least managed to keep from getting injured. You should consider a...

Hopefully I remembered how to add photos.... :blink: As Mark pointed out there wasn't much time to take photos. Personally my fingers were permanently bonded to the grips waiting for the next hill climb into right hand turn! I think I compressed my grip puppies into grip paper by the end...

Home at last! 1430 miles on a stock seat and seeing Steve's fine setup convinced me to take the plunge on a new saddle. I had a great time and truly enjoyed meeting a great bunch of forum members. Thanks again mark for the great route plan it was a perfect twisty journey! I will post my...

Hmmm, I always thought beer got lighter the more you shook it up? :glare: If I exceed the 11 lb limit I will be sure to drink the overage.

Hotel arrangements updated. Now I have to figure out how to turn my top case trunk into a cooler? :D

Wheaton, Sounds great. I was hoping you were planning on taking a deviated path to the destination. :clapping: The six pack is on me for the tour guide! I have a GPS mounted but it is primarily to make sure I can always find my way home. I have yet to figure out how to add way points...

Very much looking forward to the trip! I sent Mark a PM to see if I could tag along for the first leg of the journey as we are only a few blocks apart.

If there is still room I would really like to join the group. Have yet to meet any of the fine folks on this forum and this is turning into quite a gathering. First round is on the newbie. I will check with the hotel to see if they still have room.
