    RJ Reactive Tent

    I owned a similar style of tent years ago. It was okay as long as there was NOT much wind. During a thunderstorm with high winds, the tent was completely FLATTENED! We got soaked and never used the tent again. YMMV

    Mile Eater Awards

    1500 miles divided by 24 hours equals an average speed of 62.5 MPH. Sounds IMPOSSIBLE indeed. :unsure:

    @vzhq16 Do you happen to have a photo showing the front view of the lights? BTW, nice job on the install. ;)

    Wrist pain after 3 hours

    Since I want to protect my liver, whenever I am taking Ibuprofen, I also like to take some Milk Thistle.

    Do you need private medicare insurance if you are on Medicare?

    Yes, get supplemental insurance, which will cap the deductible amount that you have to pay if you have a major illness. I chose a plan that costs me ZERO dollars per month!

    New to FJR

    @Pmatty Welcome from MinneSNOWta! If you do decide to go with a Russel Day Long, here's a photo of my FJR with a Givi Top Box (and rack) and the Russel Day Long seat. Notice the deep dish for the passenger. Very comfy.

    Final Drive Oil Change, Do This

    I performed the relay arm lubrication last year and while I had everything apart, lubed the U-joint. I was surprised at how dry the U-joint was at 40K miles. YMMV

    Tire sealant? Roadside flat fix

    I used to carry the "mushroom" type plugs, but the first time I tried the use them, they failed miserably. Ended up having to get a tow. I then read about the sticky strings and tossed the mushroom plugs. I now carry sticky strings and a CyclePump: YMMV
