My son and I will be there in the grandstands on the last day of the race, then off to Wendover, Utah to try to catch some LSR efforts on the salt flats. Then off to fly fish in Idaho, then off to the Cody Museum. We have a lot planned in ten days.

+1 for Sidi On Road. Mine are probably 12-13 years old now, and other than having to reattach Velcro that has come loose are still going strong. The four Velcro closures on each boot take a bit of time to fasten down, but very comfortable on the road and pretty good for walking. Completely...

Got mine today, and many thanks for the the concept and making that concept real!

Bungie wrote: Then I tried an old chopper trick. I got a big thumb screw and mounted that in the stock tip. Unbelievable, it got louder still! Turning it to a 45 degree angle helped a lot. But not enough. Reminds me of the Snuff or Not I had on my BSA Victor in the '70's...

Dibs on the guest room! And I know you are just a little bit pumped about Arkansas! Beat having to ride about 500 miles to get to those great roads.....

If you are a "bigger" guy, the sizing as over jeans is about right. I wear 40-42 jeans and the 44 Airglide 3 fit about right. Very comfortable with liner in cold temps, cool enough in hot temps. Very satisifed user of both jacket and pants. Not crash tested.

About 40 years ago I embarked on the search for the perfect cigar......for me, not necessarily for anyone else. I found a few I liked over the years, but within the last year, as a result of a recommendation from a fellow cigar smoker, I found the Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado en Cedros. Mild...

A repeat of SFO 2012 would be fine by me. Weather in NW Arkansas in May is a roll of the dice. The Hub is fine, with food on site....I had Prime Rib two nights in a row. Great roads within a mile or two of the rally site, and many, many more within striking distance. I had a medical problem...

Home safe at 5:45. Left the Hub at 6:00 and got only a little rain on the way out. What's an SFO without a little rain? :rolleyes:

I paid ~$550 for mine new from Corbin in 2006 and have had one on my 2005 for six years. So, for less than $100 a year, it holds what I need it to hold, and looks good doing it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have no argument with the man who has a lower price. He knows better than...

Patriot, my reservations were called in tonight. Thanks for setting this up!

Mike, put me down for one room, two beds. Now, I'm going to locate my rain gear.......

You're going to love your Smuggler when it finally shows up. Unless you have by then bought the next Gen FJR and it won't fit the new bike......

+1 on Ionbeam's description. Best description of the logic and wonderfulness that a Russell seat is for many of us. I couldn't have said it better. I had five years with the stock seat and the last couple with the Russell. How your backside feels after many miles simply becomes a non-issue...

It went pretty well. I siphoned out what gas I could, then turned the tank upside down, drained out some more and shook some more out. Because of the filler neck extension into the tank, I couldn't get the last quart out, so decided not to flush with IPA, just a couple of quarts of gas. What...
