    I need/want a new windshield?

    I'm tall and have a Russell seat that raises me another 1.5 inches. I have the Cee Baileys +4 +4 and it is perfect. Without the seat, I might have preferred the +2 tall. Mike

    Concours 1400P

    I'm sure some will see this as more of a challenge. Running from a BMW or Harley was becoming mundane.

    SFO 10

    May 13th is my birthday. Because the family won't accompany me to SFO, I voted for may 20th. Of course, I haven't spent my birthday with my Forum family before. :mda:

    SFO- Eureka Springs

    This must have been taken on an earlier trip. Rammer didn't see any dry roads during his brief stay.

    Arriving safe at home check-in

    Hammer, Laurence and I made it back safely to Wichita, KS by about 2 PM. We saw quite a bit of rain in AR and Rt 71 in MO and then sporadically heading west through KS. We didn't see the sun until 50 miles from home. Hammer had our FZ1 fuel lights coming on as we completed the last leg of 190...

    NAFO Room available

    TC I'm disappointed, but found out momma is going to need back surgery soon and need to save the vacation days. Hope you guys enjoy the Rockies. I'm looking forward to Custer in September. Momma should be on the mend by then.

    Audiovox cruise control with installation service, all years

    Smitty, you did my 06 audiovox install and it has never worked for more than 10 minutes and now it doesn't work at all. I have tried all the tweaks written here, all to no avail. At one point you offered to refund my money. I never took you up on the offer because you did such a great job...

    What's the right bike for former pillion?

    Thanks for everyone's input. Debbie went to the dealer and thought the Honda Shadow Aero 750 felt the best, but now is considering the 1100 Sabre with a 27" seat height. She is concerned that she will not be able to make safe passes on the highway with the 38 hp 750. Honda has discontinued...

    Cassody Kansas ride

    Philip: Most of the action will be over by noon. Sure you can't make it earlier? Some riders are meeting at the Kwik Shop on the NW corner of Kellogg and Andover Rd at 9 AM. You're welcomed to join us. Mike

    What's the right bike for former pillion?

    Jill: Great advice! Thanks. We looked at a used V-Star 650 yesterday. It seemed way under powered for the highway. It was pretty much outta breath at 75 MPH. We do plan to visit a large dealer today and try on some other models.

    AMA: "Best Place to Live as a Motorcyclist?"

    Its hard to argue that CA isn't in the top 10. I wish Kansas was in the top 40.

    What's the right bike for former pillion?

    I had a DL1000 V-Strom and the seat height was about 34". I think the 650 is up there too, but I heard its a great bike. I wish Suzuki would put the great motor in a bike with 27" saddle. That would be perfect. How tall is she? Tyler: Thanks for the link. That's a great site! Debbie

    What's the right bike for former pillion?

    My backseat driver for 34 years has decided she'd like to ride her own bike again. That's right, she started riding a Honda 360 in 1974 briefly, but had a close-call scare and hasn't driven since. She is going to enroll in a MSF course where they use Rebel 250's, but we're looking for...

    SFO 2008!

    Yamaha advises against overloading the trunk on the FJR, but I didn't see a similar warning on the FZ-1's Givi trunk. Hmmm.... I have already been warned about keeping both wheels on the ground. I don't think strapping an FJR on the back is gonna help with that. Of course trailering either...

    O the Shame! O the Humiliation!

    I think I'll check in to one of those Burgmans. From all accounts they seem to have bright headlights and a tendancy to blow FJRs into the weeds. I had always heard you met the nicest people on a Honda, but the Burgman bunch seem to be raising the bar.
