    Our World Record ride is now a book!

    If this isn't allowed feel free to yank the post, or move it where it would be more appropriate. In 2022 Ian McPhee (aka Tabledrain) and I did a massive 100,000-ish mile bi-continental ride which resulted in a world record. It did NOT come without a fight! Everything that could go wrong did go...

    Bottom End Pressurization Problem

    No, not THAT kind of bottom end pressurization - let's just get that out of the way right now. OK, that was the entirety of the laughing I'm going to do for this post, so let's get down to business. On my post-IBR vacation my 190k mile FJR developed an intermittent problem where my left leg...

    Upgrading to a Valentine 1?

    I contemplated posting this in "Never-ending, Pointless, Recurring Threads" but let's try it here first, just for fun My Adaptiv TPX met an untimely demise during the IBR - it's waterproof and has held up to some pretty wretched conditions, but the only significant rain I encountered this...

    IBR Checkpoint Request

    Anyone out there planning on hitting the Florida IBR checkpoint? Besides competitors, of course ;) I'll be shipping my goodies to the hotel for an oil change and I just need someone to properly dispose of my used oil for me. There is a very nice, fairly compact 6-quart Blitz oil drain pan...

    Dash/Instrument Panel Backlight Replacement

    I searched the forum for info on this before I tore into it & I didn't find anything, so hopefully this will be useful to someone: On a recent trip I lost three of my four dash backlights, one by one, over the course of one evening. I called ahead to a Yamaha dealership where I had a tire...

    '05 ABS Wheel on '05 Non-ABS Bike

    Let me just say right up front that I'm sure this information is floating around somewhere and I have spent several hours looking for it, but I'm not turning up exactly what I need. I'm finding general references to it having been done, and I'm sure some industrious soul will be able to turn up...

    New cell is installed - Big thanks!

    Hey y'all - I just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone in this forum for sharing their opinions, feedback, and experiences with regards to their fuel cells. After more than a year of serious hemming and hawing, weighing all your input, etc, etc, I finally decided to go with a Sampson...

    Hollywood Yamaha is Closing!

    I just found out that Hollywood Yamaha will be closing their doors in the very near future. :bye2: I love those guys, and I'm sad to see one of the last "little guys" in SoCal fall victim to this crappy economy. If you loved 'em too, you may want to go say your farewells sooner rather than...

    Ride October 11th from Kernville

    WHOOPS - PUT THE WRONG DATE IN THE TITLE. THAT SHOULD BE OCTOBER 10th I know this is short notice, but if anyone had planned on coming up to Kernville for the Rod Run this weekend, an impromtu ride idea has been gaining momentum. The ride is for Saturday, October 10th. Here is the plan...

    Fuel Cell Recommendations

    I want to pick up a fuel cell, and I'm looking for input/suggestions/warning/stories/whatever. I'm know this has been discussed before, but it seems like cells are always evolving, new stuff comes on the market, great stuff (Tanji) goes away, so before I spend my money let's hear what ya'll...

    Anyone running two GPSs on a J&M MA-967 amp?

    I have the J&M MA-967 amp hooked up to my Zumo as my primary audio source. I want to add a second GPS, and when I'm done I want to Zumo to remain as my primary audio source, with the second GPS breaking in with routing instructions. It seems that it should be pretty straightforward to wire the...
