BTW, thanks to Highlander for showing up and pointing out the error of my ways.

Well arent I the asshole. Who puts a ride together on a Sunday anyway. Well damn, looks like I have to do this again tomorrow. This is what happens when you say BBQ to a lad that has been deprived for far to long.

Oh Don, I hold you in such high esteem. You Iron Butt for a hotdog at midnight. I cannot believe the fruitcakes have larger and heavier stones than the pansies.

NorCal people are freaking pansies. My wife and I are at Q's all alone. Solid rain up 50 from Shingle Springs all the way to Carson City. Oh well, maybe will meet up next time.

Im definately in. I may convince the wife if there is good bbq involved. Is there anyone willing to make this a ride from the Sacramento area to Carson City?

Add me and the Mrs to this list.

The 2014 ES has captured my curiosity. Electronic suspension adjustment. Not sure if its front and rear or just front? Built in throttle and engine mapping computer. My 07 has had throttle issues since day one. Nothing has ever made it perfect. Traction control for those days of riding in the...

FYI for all. The bolts holding the two halves together use a 10mm 6 point socket. I tried a 12 point but almost rounded it off. For those that have never done this here is the procedure. (I just did this on my 07 FJR) 1 Remove front wheel. To do this you have to compress the brake pads into the...

Due to my manly fingers I need to split the calipers to get to the seals. Damn my man hands. I tried a 12point socket and got 5 of the 6 loose. One is being a bitch and I have almost stripped the head. Ill take that one in and have the shop take it apart and order a new screw. Not a major issue...

I did the first time with Johnny80. PITA unless you have a serious shop a lots of tools. This time around I took it to a local Yamaha shop and they charged me $300 off of the bike.

I am in the process of doing a caliper seal replacement. Just got the forks redone with new internal seals shims and oil now I need to do the brakes. They are sticking bad. What special tool do I need and where do I get it to seperate the two halves? Its an outy not an innie star. All help is...

If its not posted then how the hell does Neil know? Neil, working on the Blantons Reserve. There is a place just south of San Jose that is an importer. Hoping to have when you kids come up on Monday.

Hey Richard I see its going to be in Sparks. Im definitely in for that. Why is it you always have these things in NorCal when its SoCal that the people want to see?

Simon, more than likely this is a temporary gig. We bought our dream house in San Diego three years ago in January. We are currently renting it out and are planning in the next two or three years going back. This is why no long teary goodbyes. That gives us time to truely enjoy all that is...

Thats for the heads up Richard. Will definitely do the 36. Did a small 300 mile loop yesterday up to S Tahoe. Amazing day. Still in the 60s up there in mid to late October.

Thanks all so much. I am the adventurous one but I know my right hand can get a bit heavy at the wrong times. I like to find new roads with someone that has been there a few times so I can see the breaking zones and get in on a little local knowledge, this place has the best ... that...

Mosquito Ridge looks amazing. Sorry puppychow but pointing in any direction isnt a smart way to ride alone in a new area without GPS. I will do that as I get a feel for the area. The only places I have seen of this area are all of the coast from SLO to Gualala. Hard to screw that up with if you...

TomInCA that 49 looks amazing. I was looking at google maps and that 49 to 88 into the south out Tahoe looks nice. Lunch in Tahoe. 89 North to 49 loop back to 80 at Auburn then home via 80 looks like a nice day ride. Or is that a bit on the longer side?

Thanks for all the info. I will check out Roseville Yamaha for the forks. How about for a Penske rebuild? Is there a shop around that does that or do I have to send it back to SoCal to get that done? One of the riders at the company I work for taked about a nice scenic little short ride up...

Just moved up here from San Diego. My rep down there was getting to iffy so I moved to Roseville. Need a good shop to do a rear shock rebuild, Penske, and a front fork service/possible rebuild. Johnny80 and I did the last service and I think I put a fork seal in dry so its going to be a bitch...
