    I'm probably just blind, but was Homer ever identified?

    I just want to highlight the scale of what these folks are doing. Calling Key West "pretty close" to Greenville - just, damn. That would be a spring break road trip for most "normal" humans.

    Wouldn't it be fun to be able to have a post-rally press conference with all of the riders and have all of these questions answered?

    I envision a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to use the donated bike. Except the "winner" will likely get to insist that the "loser" takes it. Fabulous camaraderie.. Heartbreaking to read about equipment issues at this stage but they won't be the last.

    Ivan's ECU Flash

    Ivan's philosophy is generally for a plug-and-play solution, but in cases where customers are commonly changing out parts, he'll leave the fueling to whatever PC you choose to install, and will provide maps for various combinations as needed..

    Spare Key

    I only do anything on extended/overnight trips, but the previous owner had some kind of key consolidation thing, which you can put several keys onto and flip out the one you need - like a swiss army knife. I don't use it, but the stubby keys are compact, so I carry one in my wallet when I'm...

    Dedicated GPS vs Cell Phone

    I'm not trying to position it as a replacement for our expensive dedicated devices and associated "feature rich" software, I would absolutely choose my Garmin, but you can make it work quite well with pre-journey planning and segment customization, which can be pulled up on-demand while in areas...

    Dedicated GPS vs Cell Phone

    Google Maps allows download of map sections for offline access, I pre-load my riding area regularly. Helps when driving in the city where coverage can be unreliable. It also gives spoken and/or visual guidance when following a planned route, despite what UH said. Haven't used that in a long...

    2UP Hyrdation

    I have a "tactical" (ha!) camelback, designed to be strapped onto/into an existing backpack. It's compact and fairly well insulated, and I just place it in my tank bag - which is usually just the small snap-on mount Givi hard bag. You don't really need to carry enough water for an entire...

    '17 ES install Stebel Nautilus

    It's not a waste, you're offering an opinion based on your experience. Others reading this may choose to go that route..

    Are the FJR 1300 bag liners waterproof?

    Like he said, he lives in the PNWet.. OP - the bags are water resistant, but the panniers are waterproof.
