Where did you screw on the 2x4s? Lengthwise? Widthwise? At the permitter? Near the tires? boardsNbikes

Absolutely. I know some shipping outfits that will ship bikes, depending on size, for $500-1000 (one-way) in their crates. A cross-country trip from Cal to Florida and back will be tons of gas plus campground/motel fees no matter how ghetto I do the trip. Flying and riding back is my...

My bike is sadly across the country from me at this time and I'm considering my shipping/loading/trailering/riding options. What is the minimum bed length to safely support a FJR in a truckbed or trailer? I trust the length would be most forward point of front tire to far rear contact point of...

New Hyosung model?

My two bikes are on that list (SV and FJR) :assassin:

I sent an email note to Andrew. I too have crashed on ACH but was lucky. I hope he returns home and to work fully recovered. My prayers are with him.

As a 8 year (former) resident of Vermont, the ladies with teeth cost more to marry*. * There's another joke there but I refuse to go there. Unless pressed :)

Business is ruthless :assassin:

The Hyosung GV650 is not a Suzuki SV650. Miles apart in fit, finish and engineering, not to mention fun and resale value. I have an 03 SV650S in addition to my 05 FJR and I would consider selling the FJR before the SV. The SV possesses something intangible, something like the 92 Honda VFR750F...

A little off topic, but I've noticed the local CHP motor officers will sometimes wave to me because I'm ATGATT (on a 05 FJR w/ bags) but I've yet to see them wave at the gearless. Yes, purely anecdotal evidence but an observation nonetheless. And I 2nd the motion to include helmet and gear use...

Tents (I like 3 season ultralight 2 person tents for the extra room) - Mountain Hardwear Helion 2 - MSR Hubba Hubba Bags (synthetic mummy) - Mountain Hardware Lamina 45

FYIW OCC bikes are not registered in NYS. The owners, if they want to ride on public roads, have to register the bike themselves.

Two of us--that exclusive enough B)

I lived in Southern VT for seven years as a skier and snowboarder. Those areas will be full of NY/NJ/CT weekenders who bring their weekday attitude to VT for the weekend. While okay on the weekdays, Okemo will be full of munchkins with parents who yell at skiers going faster than their family...

'03 SVS Copper(like) color. I'm not crazy about the color but I got it at a good price. I'm off to find the FJR SV650 RD400 exclusive secret sub-club. :lol:

I was trying to write something soothing or witty but I can't since I'm only thinking (and crying) about the dreadful day when my Rosie crosses her bridge. I can only imagine the pain, having never put down a pet; I can only guess the reality is probably worse than my imagination. Hang in...

I owned cheap folders and then went up to Gerber, Benchmade and Kershaw knives. I really like my Ken Onion Chive and Scallion knives when carrying a big knife would provoke thought and dismay with co-workers. Some of their handle finishes make the knives downright elegant. Recently, after...

I'm another member of the FJR SV650S secret sub-club. :yahoo:

Helps some :) Advanced/expert snowboarders generally don't have a problem but the intermediate snowboarders are very uncomfortable going fast on a single edge on a long flat. Calf cramps--and crashing-- become issues. Despite my handle, I'm a long-time skier too. I pick whatever tool is...
