I had a group of 15 in Duncanville, TX, ranging in age from seven to seventy nine. The sky was cloudy in the morning, then switched to partly cloudy as the moon encroached on the disc of the sun providing frequent visibility. About 40 seconds before totality a large cloud slid over the sun...

Earl- I have a big crowd of family and friends staying in a house in the Dallas area. I'm thinking 18 people will be there. I'm not riding, though. If you want another 30 seconds of totality you can ride another 90 miles to Ennis or 55 miles to Gatesville which are both right on the eclipse...

Yahoo, except for the work part.

Smokin' a 12-pound turkey in a Weber. Started it at 9:00AM. I'm about ready to check the temp after 4 hours. It's hard to keep the temperature down in a Weber. My wife claims that I've never made a dried out turkey. We're old enough that our memories aren't what they used to be. Fortunately it...

On Friday I allowed my FJR to deliver me to Brando's BBQ in Edison, WA, for a delicious brisket sandwich, potato salad, and a butterscotch root beer (don't knock it if you haven't tried it). I rode 2-1/2 hours each way in sunny, 46-to-52-degree weather. I saw no wet leaves or frost on the road...

I machined a handful of those brass clutch lever bushings a few years ago. I installed and lubed one when I first picked up the 2008 bike a year ago. I'll get around to the brake and clutch fluid soon now that the weather is turning to dark, cold, and rainy. The T6 in 15W-40 is what's in stock...

Removed, cleaned, and lubed rear brake pedal pivot shaft. New tires, Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32 front (120/70ZR-17 GT) and rear (180/55ZR-17 GT). Rebuilt forks, new bushings, seals, Honda 5W fork oil. Replaced rear brake pads with new OEM pads. Changed oil, Rotella T6 15w40 full-synth...

If I remember correctly, adjusting the TPS requires one of those stupid safety Torx drivers. And I think it's in a tight spot so it really needs a ground down safety Torx bit and a Chapman ratchet or an open end wrench to turn the bit.

Were they angry that he was unwilling to share his meth and heroin?

He tried to convince me that he had a Throttlemeister the same way. PM only...no posts. He went away when I asked him for photos and the price.

Tru dat, Charles. Yamaha would probably make someone pay for using their logo. But then you use it as your avatar and they haven't come after you yet.

How big is this decal? I copied the image and blew it up. It looks like an FJR in a cartoonish kind of way. If it is a cartoon, it would be nice to have the Yamaha tuning fork insignia with enough resolution to identify it on it somewhere like the tank. Also, if it's a cartoon, why not just put...

Just use Yamaha's gear oil. Don't try to convert the heathens with hundreds of thousands of miles of collective experience successfully doing otherwise. No one is going to fault you for it. You don't have to justify it.

I assume the shampoo bottle is to pour beer into?

Not with Archer in the saddle. He rides with his parachute pulled.

As my avatar shows, unicycling. That's me on a mountain unicycle on the Amasa Back Trail outside Moab. I haven't been on the mountain unicycle in years but I still ride a road unicycle with a 36" wheel. That and semi-weekly grandson duty which is a gas.

Tell me about it. Finding good BBQ in the Pacific Northwest is like finding good sushi in Kansas City.

I go to Kansas City fairly frequently and when I do I restaurant hop at BBQ places with a friend of mine. We'll go to a half dozen places he's found in a variety of neighborhoods (several of them questionable) any time I'm there. The ones that became big recently were Jack's Stack, Oklahoma...

Installed passenger peg lowering brackets and cleaned, lubed, and loctited the screws on the side bag latches.
