    Deer killed my '05, replaced with 2014 ES, I'm impressed !

    My insurance policy covered up to 3500 worth of farkles, so I did up the list for them. Progressive fork springs, Wilburs rear shock, Givi case & tubular frame, fork brace, Russell leather seats, & lots of small stuff, That added to the payout amount, although I don't know how much they...

    I got the snap in covers but not the extra lock. Have to add that to the Tuesday phone call. Thanks!

    OK, one more plus & one more minus + - Bigger rear view mirrors - - The seat will have to get replaced with a Russell

    Deer killed my '05, replaced with 2014 ES, I'm impressed !

    (DAGWOOD) Well, tomorrow it'll be 4 weeks since the deerstrike, & I can now cough with no problems, although a good sneeze still generates a painful twinge on my left side. (TWIGG) I loved my '05, & if I could go back in time I would choose a different route & still have it. No it wouldn't...

    Deer killed my '05, replaced with 2014 ES, I'm impressed !

    (08FJRFORME) I didn't take any pics when I went to see baby at the shop after I got out of the hospital, too disheartening. Not quite ATTGATT, always wear the helmet & the jacket with 2 sets of pads. Had on new fleece jeans (that the hospital cut off) and hiking boots (not the riding boots)...

    So there I am, minding my own business on November 30th, riding the '05 for a good battery charge & getting ready to put some StaBil in the tank for the slow season. Out of nowhere this dumbass deer jumps right in front of me, no time to react, just BANG. I went down, baby went down, deer...

    First 300+ Mile Ride

    When my '05 was new, the bar vibes were fairly strong. Vibes got weaker as the bike got broken in, now, at 45k, there's very little bar vibration left. I put on risers, bar end weights, and BMW grips back in '05. Still happy with that layout. Every now & then I have to remind myself to loosen...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Looks like the Iron Butt site is down... Hope it's only a temporary load issue, can't wait for the final Austin epilogue. Congrats to Skooter & Iggy & all the other IB folks, good rally. Glad Jim Owen didn't break down this time. EDIT: Well it's back up 3 minutes after I posted...

    05 headlight problems?

    Yeah was almost done the vacation ride this year & one low beam went out & the other went out the next day. Luckily we were one day from home & a daylight ride at that. Used the high beams occasionally to make sure folks knew I was there ( sorry folks ). 2005, first time I've had a problem with...

    Nova Scotia Road Trip July 2009

    There's a fair number of Shell stations up in CA, your US credit card will work, but they will ask you to come to the counter to verify the card with ID. Otherwise they're generally Canadian brands, so bring your Visa or MasterCard. Camping: The loop road at the top of Cape Breton Island...

    Cellular phone service in Canada

    Just got back from a ride around Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, then back down the coast province of New Brunswick. Verizon service was just fine, as long as I was close to a town of 3000+ people. Had to call my number to check for voicemail, data didn't flow automatically to the cell as it...

    We Lost A Great Friend

    Just back from vacation, I can't believe I'll never see his 1, 2, or 3 word wisecrack posts again. I cannot begin to count how many times he made me laugh from his forum posts. Said a few words to Tim at the 06 WFO but never really got a chance to spend time with him. My condolences to Patti &...

    www.kneedraggers.com

    I saw a listing for them on the web, and, since they were only 5 miles from my house I decided to go find them to see what they had in stock (this was June 2006). At the time I was looking to buy a mesh jacket with a liner. After I found the store (iddy biddy sign) I spent 20 minutes going...
