    A yellow Areostich??

    If you see an 06 FJR with a rider in the hi-viz areostich, it just me. Relocated to the area in April and my bike will be up here soon. Maybe sooner than my wife- haha. Really, I miss them both but a guy needs his priorities. See you local guys out and about. Barry

    Windshield Loaner Program

    I have tried this once before. At WFO 6 I took a CalSCi Large for anyone to demo for the day. No one took me up on it and I agree it was too inconvient. I would like to start a used/old sceen repository so each and every rider doesn't have to buy every screen to see which fits. I have a...

    Any reports on the Cycleport mesh

    Any reports on the Cycleport mesh? A lot was sold at WFO. I know Toecutter loves his. I was expecting to see a lot of glowing reports. That kevlar mesh seemed just the ticket for the hot weather. What is the feed back? I need to add some gear to my closet this Christmas to make me a true...
