Great checklist. Mine only differs from yours in that my PR3's are already on the way! Bob

Enjoyed your blog, thanks for posting. Will be hitting a lot of those same roads and then on to the Blue Ridge Paarkway starting on Friday.

I ordered the PIAA 85112 Sports Horn 500-600Hz horn combo from Amazon today and got a ship date range from Wednesday March 28, 2012 - Wednesday May 9, 2012. Price was $44.91 with free shipping (via Amazon Prime). Other Amazon vendors appear to have them in stock but end up being at least $10...

For walking around you would be correct. YMMV, but I have found that I want any overpants to be a couple of inches longer than the pants. That way the pants don't stick out the bottom of the overpants when seated on the bike in riding position. Yes, they drag a little or bunch up at the top...

Hey Gregg, hope you don't need the help but if you do, the offer stands. Either way keep me posted on your "procurement process". I look forward to a ride with you and your new FJR whenever it happens. Bob

I live in Fuquay / Holly Springs area near Raleigh. Where are you riding from and when? I can pm my cell number if you need someone to call if you have issues. I have a SUV with towing capability if something happens, all we would need is a trailer (even U-Haul would work) and some tie-downs...

Folks, Here is the official detour from Asheville to Knoxville: Link from Asheville Citizen-Times Note the alternative options for noncommercial traffic (not trucks) are noted as well If you are going to Knoxville and start at least as far East as Winston Salem, this alternative using...

Damn!!! I thought it was safe to admit this was my first EOM since it was not a Friday!!! :unsure: I did ride thru the Lewisburg, WV area earlier this summer and stay at the Brier Inn for a few days. Not quite the same as staying in a Holiday Inn Express, should've been smarter about my...

Just registered and reserved hotel room. Will be arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday. Looking forward to my first EOM! :yahoo: Bob

wiz1974, Thanks for the pic, just what I was hoping to see! I have the Airglide 2 in Neon Yellow/Black which is good for heat and humidity here in NC, the GT Air All Seasons Transition jacket may be the better option for mid-to-late spring into early summer and then later from late summer to...

You are right, I have had the same experience and have been highly impressed. I followed a rider on a BMW wearing one of the Olympia Neon jackets down a seldom-travelled highway in NC and could easily see him 1/4 of a mile away on the occasions when the road straightened out. The new for this...

wiz1974, Would you be able/willing to take a pic of the back of the jacket and post it or send to me? I am very interested in the GT Air All Seasons Transition jacket and I have looked at the Olympia Moltosports website. It is difficult to see how much Neon Yellow is visible directly from a...

The above link to the eBay store did not work, here is the one in his signature at the ST.N site which says: Visit My Website Hope that helps. Bob

Just to add to the comments from GreyGoose: I did parts of the same route in mid-May from South to North. Here is a Google Maps link which supports staying on the Blue Ridge Parkway as long as possible without having to backtrack. This route section starts from Pisgah Inn south of Asheville...

I have the jacket, need the liner! Looking to buy the liner for an Olympia Airglide 2 jacket, size XL, in excellent or very good condition. If you have one from the Airglide 2 (or any other Olympia jacket that uses the same liner) that you no longer need for whatever reason, I would like to...

Free Replacement waranty for unattended helmet dropping from seat height???? Not sure $400 is enough to cover that, you must have taken TWN's advice and cried like a baby! :cry: Bob Is it Friday yet?????? :P

I had the same thing done today. Went to a couple of hardware stores until I found one that had the correct blanks. The designation for the flat head key that worked for me is a standard ILCO X248 (also has YM63 stamped on the key head). I thought it might save you some hassle if you know...

+1 & Gunny I started with the Nelson Rigg UV-2000 half-cover in Large and ended up exchanging for an XLarge so that the bags would be covered. I have had mine for 1 season with no visible signs of wear. It works well and provides a bit of stealth on trips when parked outside. Bob

Got my letter today (Saturday) here in NC. I had already tallked with the dealer's Service Manager and have scheduled the replacement service. It really helped to go in and give them the referencs number! Thanks to all who helped get this identified and acted on (or is it re-acted on? :P )...

AGirl, I became aware of this problem on my bike while riding directly from Seneca, SC to the Blue Ridge Parkway, near the Pisgah Inn west of Asheville, NC in late April. When I saw your report in May, I read that with particular interest in the hopes that you would be able to get it figured...
