First: Godspeed, Davo. Tight lines and clear roads for you. ? Thane Silliker, too. He's got a fair ways past 300,000 mi. on his ST1100. Third: Thanks guys, for letting me hang out here. This is my 4th rally (on line spectator) and I get the Jones really bad. You guys are going to wreck...

Jeeze. Stunning news RE: Davo and his deerstrike. My prayers for his complete and sudden recovery, but what was he thinking? Dawn in deer haven with out a helmet? Oh, boy. FWIW, Kootenay Med center is in Couer 'd Alene, not Spokane as previously reported.

I have no wish to ride a rally, not even much desire to ride a 1k. But all my friends and family know that I am going to do somethings that they might not like. Good luck on your goal...

I'm on with that. I was hoping Dale would chirp in here at penalty time....

So. Scoring has been open for 1:30, I am concerned about the late riders. I grew up in E WA and lived in Spokane for about 15 years. Doesn't matter what direction you come from, it is surrounded by forrest rats. Practical jokes at a border crossing will get you a 12 hour inspection. Those...

You may have shat in your nest, but I'm thinking they have left Santa Anna for Spokane. Just saying....

Be careful what you speculate. I am pretty sure that Haybus is the chariot of the Benevolent Dictator of this site:)

At the risk of hi jacking this BMW FD thread... I have it on pretty good authority that this was not an ST failure, but a wiring/farkle induced failure. Which might be another whole thread....Things that otherwise rattle along pretty well are big stressed in a rally situation. And things that...

A couple of updates from the sunny side of the STreet! You know you love them. So. Sal got relief at the BMW <Big Tom cringes> dealer. One of our guys was there to help with what ever he could. It seems to have been a battery/cables/wiring problem, not a charging problem. Sal's ST is...

Attn: OCfjr I looked up Sal's bike, it's an '02. I'm going to guess that the problem is with his add on's, not with the basic bike system. Honda rectified the base problem in '97. I have an '93, I have changed the alternator:) I put the word out on the STOwners board, I think a local or...

I'll look up Sal's bike and cross post this to the STOwners list. If it's what I think, nobody will have a 40 amp alternator laying around. Maybe a STock 28. I can't imagine that he hasn't done the change....

So, my IBR rally jones is so bad I'm here on the FJR forum to read what I can:) Thanks Warchild, for the posts...I remember that 2 years ago you co posted on STOwners... 'Course my favorites are Sal and Thane on their ST1100s and Maura and Tom Loftus on the 1300s...only a small bias...

Yep, intermitent idle problems, error code 48. 17,000mi on an '06 AE. So, he traded his AE for a Goldwing yesterday. He says he is finally old enough for a wing. 75. We went for a ride yesterday, he rode his 1200 Bandit. The wing joins it, a Honda Ascot 500 (single) and a Hyabusa in his...

I've spent most of the last week here on the tech pages, I think I found what I need. My riding buddy and computer hater has an '06 AE with idle and error code problems. I'm not sure what he is going to do with his bike. Probably take it to a tech (aot me, a mech:)) for repair. Unless...
