    Crossroads...

    Not sure if anyone remembers me... I was a pretty active member back when this board got started, but according to my account, it looks like my last post was in 2011, so almost 9 years ago.  Lots of memories poking around in some of the areas here... the national meetings, regional meetings...

    EOM-09 banner

    Is there a plan to have whoever created the 06, 07, and 08 EOM banner for our signature lines create one for '09? Edit: Note, as shown below, I've now got it... thanks!

    Haven't been on the bike much lately...

    Been trying to finish up a present I'm making for my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary next month... got the stained glass done today and test fit the pieces... looking good so far. Size is about 1.5 ft. wide by 2.5 feet tall. All natural wood colors... no stains. The curly maple has...

    Simple change, big difference...

    I've had my same bike setup for a few years now... 2610 GPS mounted inbetween the handlebars, V1 on the right handlebar, XM radio on the left (my second one, after the first crapped out). For my recent birthday, I asked for a Zumo initially, but $$$ is a bit tight now so I didn't get one...

    Anybody need a room?

    Somebody suggested I share a room with them to save some money for gas, so I'll be giving back mine to the hotel sometime in the next few days. It's got a kingsize bed, lower floor. Let me know if you're interested.

    Fairing screw head stripped...

    Ok, so this past weekend, I was doing some timely maintenance work on the bike... including changing the pumpkin and engine oil. Got the pumpkin taken care of, but when I went to loosen the fairing up near the oil drain, the screw with the inset hex head near the shift lever stipped... crap...

    Electrical question

    I added an electric liner and gloves last winter, and have enjoyed them to a great extent during the few "cold" days we've had in Houston this year... heh... Question is, I also installed a heat troller on my fairing panel, which has an indicator LED, letting me know when it's on. The heat...

    26K Valve check

    Ok, my '05 passed the 26K mark on the way back from WFO... so it now sits at 28K, and it's time for a check of the valve clearances (I also need that throttle position sensor recall work done....). I've done ALL the maintenance to date on my bike, and consider myself a decent wrench. I'd love...

    On the road again....

    I'm out of here, and on my way to Park City. Making stops in Austin, Las Vegas (New Mexico), Pagosa Springs, and Torrey. Should be there early afternoon on Thursday. Will post along the road from my PDA if I've got cell coverage. Look out Utah, here we come!

    Stay the f@)#(* away from me...

    As I posted on the other thread, I'm a Va Tech grad who knew at least 1 of the people involved in the campus shooting earlier this week (Dr. Librescu). As you might have heard, there was a shooting at JSC today. Unless my information is bad, the male victim that got shot/killed is a very close...

    My normal riding partner is semi-bagging me for our trip to Ride The Rio this year... he's leaving late and trailering with his wife... so I'm wondering if anyone else from the Houston area is planning on going to RTR this year, and would possibly like to ride out there together... Ride The Rio...

    Anyone interested?

    I've been in the planning phases for completing the RAT (Ride Around Texas) early next year (probably the second or third weekend in March) for a while now. Today, I found out that the guy I was planning on doing it with is no longer interested. So I'm asking... anyone here in Texas want to...

    Repainting an FJR...

    For those of you who don't know it, I had a series (3) of occasions in the span of about 200 yards in Colorado where my bike went down on the right side at 0-1 MPH. This happened on a really nasty "road" and the result was a badly scratched/gouged right rear saddleback, scratches/gouges to the...

    Intersections... gotta hate them...

    Nice reflexes... a little light on the gear though... maybe the sneakers helped him stick the landing.
