Bravo! Great selection........the oh sixes have the best color......well, now the 12's join them. You will absolutely love this motorcycle. Might want to get a gel pad for the trip. I've stuck with the stock seat and like it, but long trips are a little tough on the buttocks...... ride it like...

Oh, I've got one better than that. Last summer my brother in law rode his Suzuki DR650 dual sport with after market gortex saddle bags from Bangor , ME to Ohio , then to Indiana, then through Nashville to Birmingham and finally stopping to see me in Atlanta befor heading back home. 3500 miles in...

Congrats on the new ride. It's always fun to see and hear the excitement of new owners! I've had mine since the summer of 06 and the bike still gives me a rush every ride. I also find myself just admiring the bike in the garage and sitting on her during extended no ride periods just to get that...

I think all the manufacturers are hurting big time. I went to a bike shop the other day and they became a "used bike" only shop. They could not afford to have the new bikes sitting on the floor and returned them all from all the manufacturers and not just Yamaha. Tough times require tough...

mmmmmm, not exactly sure where we were parked. I do believe you are right about 16th street entrance. We were in line with other cars ( left my bike at friends house ) and then becuase we did not have tickets, they sent us to that little shack they had there. Got our tickets and drove in and...

My first Moto GP event and it was great fun. Ended up on the inside near turn 3 to watch the action. It was a good place to watch the race. Took forever to get out of there when it was over. Sat for about 50 minutes before we even started moving. Will park outside next year and pay someone to...

Hey there, Sorry, I did not mean to sound like I was shopping. I actually had it in my mind to just get a ticket when I got there. I should have been clearer, but happy you sold your ticket. Have fun.

Hey Miss Kitty, I probably would be interested as long as I can't get a one day ticket cheaper. My original plan was to ride up Friday and be there Saturday and Sunday. That all changed when my wife reminded me that this is the weekend that my son is coming home from NYC. Ooops. Now I am not...

Thanks for the heads up. Another question, My Mapquest directions to my buddies house has me taking 65 north to 465 east to exit 106 which is IN-37N. Any idea if that is where the construction is and if weekends is bad? I'll be passing through sometime Saturday evening.Thanks, J

Thanks for the replies........now praying for no rain.................

I'm riding the Feej to Indy next weekend. Probably up 75 to 24 nwest to Nashville and then on up north to Indy. Two things. Anyone know of any road construction along the way, and anyone have any experience going to the races there and have advice on best place to view the race. I know, the best...

Yep, exact same thing happened to me first time parking on the slightly inclined driveway.....Saw it moving forward out of the corner of my eye......saved it ...barely.........always in first gear if aimed down hill. Up hill, no problem...........least not on my driveway..............

ditto the other comments. Unless you looked at it just before you walked away from the bike, I would say the thing just fell off like the rest of ours. Easy to buy and replace. I bought two when I went through this so that I would have it when it happens again.

Bravo! Can't wait to hear about the trip. This is good for all of us.......................thanks,

If they are on the phone and not paying attention, there is really not much you can do apart from wearing bright clothing and or helmet. Many times when I look to see someone approaching me from behind at a light I will make some movements to make sure they see me. Arm stretches, twisting...
