    Beautiful Winter Day in Tennessee

    It was unusually warm and pleasant this past Saturday in the Nashville area. The boy's going to learn how to ride on the street this spring so we went down to Cycle Gear and outfitted him with a helmet, jacket, pants, boots and gloves. I've taught him a few things in the driveway (friction zone...

    He could get LIBI. Not too sure about BICA. I thought he was going to turn south at Miles City, MT. Now, I'm thinking he'll turn south in Custer. If not, he's hallucinating. :) The miles from Custer to ABQ shouldn't be too much of an issue for this rider, but he's going to be cutting it close...

    FJRForum Official 2015 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis thread

    Some devices like the DeLorme InReach supply speed data in the location data. AFAIK, speed data is accurate. Other devices like SPOTs do not provide speed data. So SpotWalla calculates speed based on straight-line distance and time difference between the current and previous locations...

    It truly is my pleasure, RV. And I'm looking forward to seeing where they all go.

    Now that's a fine-lookin' map, if I do say so myself.

    Trunk option?

    I was apprehensive about the Givi and bought the factory trunk. The factory trunk was, how should I say this.... lame, IMO. Sat way too tall and I didn't care for mount. So on the 14 I went with the Givi 52L trunk. Looks great...

    SPOT on sale

    Hmmm... I believe there are two different types of tracking. One type works like it has on the previous generations where tacking is automatically disabled after 24 hours. The other, extreme tracking, allows the unit to track as long as it has juice. I use a SPOT Trace in Debbie's vehicle. She...

    Man, I'm Struggling....

    You're like me when it comes to toys (and most other things as well)... no cash, no purchase. And also like me, it appears you base some decisions on what your "gut" is telling you. My advice is... go with the gut. The 14 is a sugar-sweet ride. Whether you purchase one now or next spring it...

    USA Sunrise To Sunset Insanity

    Weather probably won't be an issue, Tony. I'd keep an eye on it a couple of weeks out. The Bitterroot region of Montana and Snoqualmie pass are potential problem areas. Back in 2002 I had to route around the Bitterroots during the 48+. In 2008 we ran the Sunrise to Sunset and it was gorgeous...

    To YES or not to YES...that is the question

    I figure it's kinda like ABS... I'm going to buy it and hope it's never needed, but thankful when it is. $399 for another 4 years is a good deal.
