Thanks for the input rbentnail.  Loading a route via bluetooth huh?  I'll have to look into that as well. Should I decide to go with this Surface Go, I'll post my findings here and whether or not it's beneficial to have on a ride.

So I am debating on whether or not this could work as a routing tool.  I have no experience with it and know of no one who has one.  First question.  The only port it has is a USB-C.  Its fast, however as I understand it, it could cause problems hooking up to something (like a GPS).  I know I'd...

I've used Shinkos on the FJR and was pleased with them. Not the longest wearing tire as Don said, but good enough if you're planning a monster long trip. Sure, my comment doesn't apply to your question regarding the V-Strom, just a testament to the tire brand.

I've run K&Ns on both of my FJRs and have never had a problem. Sent my oil in to Blackstone Labs (I believe that's their name) from my '05 after she had 200K+ miles and the results were very favorable. But I also run synthetic oils so that may have something to do with it too. The sample I...

Finally got a start on my long winter maintenance list. First item to get checked off: brought forks into local dealer to have the AK-20 install done. I made it pretty clear to them to NOT reinstall the middle bushing. Next on the list will be reinstalling rebuilt Penske. Really looking...

Impressive Chuck

Got up this morning to see -6 F. Oh goody.

Don was both unique and genuine. A pretty descent guy for sure. Tequila for me. Anyone know how Seth and Donna are doing?

+1 to what Brodie said. What I like to refer to as the "Caveman" method. It's not as hard as what one might be inclined to think, and with experience, and patience, it does get easier.

This is the daughter that went action shooting with her old man I suspect, so I don't think there's any worries there about her doing stupid stuff in the car. Not your typical 16 y.o. But with that said, I 'd go with an inexpensive used car that won't hurt when it gets dinged up. Not because...

That was a real nice tribute Barry. Sorry for your loss and condolences to you and his family.

NV, WY, MI, MN, OH, IA, OK, TX, CA....they all love my need to contribute to their economies. Apparently I have very poor "situational awareness", and absolutely no ability to talk myself out of the need to "contribute". Only 40 more to go and I can lay claim to my own version of 48+. lol

Welcome back to MN then Shane. Betcha you're going to hate leaving that great garage of your's. As the Geek said, come back again for the Tech Day. And if your FJR isn't up to the task, we welcome HDs too. Maybe lol

^^^ LOL It's not so much growing up and riding sensibly, it's more of a need of getting back to ZARS for a little confidence training.

Yeah I'd say if all your riding is this spirited, how can you not expect to have to pay the piper? I was quite pleased with my first go around with the PR4GTs this past summer. 11K in 11 days plus an additional 6K of commuting and smaller trips before I needed new rubber. And if you're...

Too funny! No way we could get away with that here.

Funny But I'm curious, what did you put on the personalized license plate application to explain what FYB stood for?

On my 15 it did.

Judge Spud hmmm it's got a nice ring to it. Congrats! Judge Spud vs. Judge Judy now THAT could be compelling TV. lol

That was a very well written piece. Thanks for sharing.
