    Jacksonville-SanDiego 50CC Start Time

    Looking for some feedback as to start times for the 50CC from Jacksonville to SanDiego. We are attempting to get the BBgold in the process so a stop point will be Van Horn Texas. I am just not sure when to aim at getting to Van Horn. Do we want to be going through New Mexico and Arizona at...

    Cooler Holder

    Does anyone have any pics of the n-line that junior is talking about, mounted on a bike? The website doesn't show it on a bike.

    Cooler Holder

    Thanks junior. I think I may go by way or bounce's idea. The extra storage would be nice if I got into a pinch. And no having to take pegs off to install.

    Cooler Holder

    I really like the look of Bounce's but I may be too cheap to buy the 120 aerostich bags, although they are nice. Thanks for all the ideas guys, I can't find the member you are talking about juniorfjr.

    Cooler Holder

    Looks pretty cool bounce. I have a fastbag also, bought it from a member here, can't remember who it was though. I know the "s" option is not one I want to take. I will look at the bridenscott option also. Thanks gang.

    Cooler Holder

    I am trying to find a mount/bracket that goes on the passenger peg and holds one of the igloo type personal water coolers. I know I have seen these on here but I think the person making them is no longer in business. Does anyone know of anyone who produces a similar item or do any of you have...

    Wanting to buy handle bar ends.

    I have the throttlemeisters and love them. They look good and are nice to have to give your hand a break on long trips.

    Saddle Sore To Atlanta

    The buttpads are pretty comfortable, the only problem is the Bill Mayer seat allows my to slide forward out of the position that we paid Bill Mayer to put us in. I will be using it on the bbgold for sure though.

    Saddle Sore To Atlanta

    WoooHooo! The packet finally came in the mail. Both rides were certified. Melinda and I are both proud members of the IBA. I think I am going to try a BBgold next.

    Saddle Sore To Atlanta

    Mike said it will be sent out today. He said he forgot to email me back, Ira at the IBA was very helpfull also......and he returns emails quickly. Mike said that the three cert. teams quit looking at the SS part of the ride when we stopped for a couple hours sleep and were 20 or so miles short...

    Saddle Sore To Atlanta

    Hey papa, saw you up in my neck of the woods last weekend by the BP at 275, then a little later going out towards the beach on Manatee Ave. I had to work but wanted to jump on the bike and run around with ya. I am being patient, Mike Kneebone told me that he would straighten it out for me...

    Saddle Sore To Atlanta

    It has been extreemly frustrating to say the least. But I want the cert. and I plan on doing more.....

    Saddle Sore To Atlanta

    Still no certification, check is cashed though. Mr. Kneebone says he will take care of it, hopefully soon.........I don't really understand, it passed the preliminary stages when the check was cashed two months ago. Shouldn't it be finished by now?

    Riding from Ft. Myers to Key West, then up I-95

    I agree with the rest, avoid Key West.....I went from Palmetto, Fl.-Emporia Va. and back for 1616 miles on my ss1000, and bb1500. We went 75-10-295-95, traffic was great even around Jacksonville. 95 tore up my back tire because it is grooved for rain dispersion but it was nice when it did rain...

    SS1000 or BB1000

    Do the ss1000 and the bb1500 at the same time. I would recommend doing the ride by yourself or with one other rider that you are sure will keep the same or very similar pace as you. Time is a crunch as eeksnake said so keep the stops quick. I did the ride with my SO and she takes longer on...

    Ride to Deal's Gap Accomplished

    Nice job on the ride. It is interesting when you look back on the trip and see how far you actually went. I can't wait to do the 50cc or a trip to Canada from Palmetto, Fl. Russell or Bill Meyer TCMike.

    Alex's Reflective Bag decals

    HMMMM, mine appeared brown at first glance but they are clearly black and blend very well with the black plastic saddle bag.

    Pros and cons of gov't employment?

    I like my government job, if they would put my job code into high risk or at least special risk it would be even better. As it stands we only make about 1.7% a year retirement. But I am combatting that with a defered comp. account.
