For 20 bucks and if I traveled like Danimal I would find it a worthwhile safety item. 

Every time I hear that phone........It's ringing. 

So glad for you folks that she is doing well. Long time no see Rick. Take care guys. 

Maybe cause she licked the doughnuts. ?

I'm about 9 1/2 hours away no slab and 6 hours  slab. About 400 miles either way. Weather will be my deciding factor. If I slab prolly just fire up Waze and hammer down and get that part of the trip out of the way. Either way will plan to arrive in Corydon around 6 or 7pm. If anyone wants/needs anything from the Pony I could make a stop. 

I gave up vappin yo. But I gots da robe .

I hate to say it but I rode the epic ride & I only put 180miles on my bike because I had the trailer because of my dog & had to carry tools to work on a shack but i'm thinking about  buying this  to carry tools and dog & to trailer  Max powers bike down to the gap on the back of my bike 

 

Still may need a trailer. That turns your bike into a 4 wheeler. 

A little project I tried with my Harbor Freight lift table. Wheeling a Vfr or A VStrom or my Super Hawk up onto table is pretty easy. You can also put the kickstand down without issue. Bigger bikes that you need to ride up onto the table is another story. Not enough room to put your feet down and if you center the bike the kickstand is useless. It is scary. I had these ramps in the rafters and decided put them to use. Made some bracketed and they just slide into place and are easily removed. Work pretty well.

i guess i will wait for jerry @Al Z. Heimer to post the photo/video 

He was tugging on that like a 5 year old with his first bottle of cherry pop. 

Fantastic news. More so that you are healing well and being able to make this trip is icing on the cake. Now we need to pray to the weather gods. Used the last of the front tire yesterday. Gotta get her up on the table and strip her down for new rubber. Can't wait guys. Congrats again Tim. 

Not going to give advice. Your a smart guy. I am hoping for good vibes from the doc and that you are healing well.

PM me if you want the dealer name.  I don't want to pimp them since they aren't a sponsor.

I ended up getting a used FJR. Garage is pretty full. Wife says no more. ?

Not being able to demo does suck. A guy I work with just dropped 28K not counting interest on an Indian bagger. I can definitely tell that he has reservations about his purchase. I did the Yamaha demo at state 8 and Hardings Park. HP route was a joke for the most part. No way I could/would have made a decision to drop 15K on a FJR1300 with that ride. State 8 was a lot better. Longer and more spirited. If you decide to do a Vintage Day demo. Be there at the crack of dawn to sign up and get a time slot. If you don't no ride for you.

I was noticing how the Moto 2 riders get the bike a little sideways going into turns, much more than Moto 3 or MotoGP riders. Any reason for that?

Yes. 

Maybe you just buy a Firebird or something.

GPS kept trying to "optimize" the route

Not sure if the zumo has this setting which is from my drive smart but it may help you. 

Click settings >traffic >optimize route > pick your poison.

According to the tests https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/ a 70 dollar lazer LZ6 performed better than 4 out of 11 Shoei"s,all 13 Scorpions,all 13 Nolan"s,3 out of 25 HJC's,9 out of 11 Arai's and 8 Schuberth"s.But this is the USA where if some is good more is better seems to be the norm. All the money in China won't buy you the best. Do your homework and buy what works.The first site will keep you busy for awhile.  http://www.webbikeworld.com/  This site has quite a bit of info on motorcycle related goodies.

Safe journey guys. Have a great time.

Short video from the ride today.

Someone is practicing on my turf. Sorry I could not make this. I'm kinda fond of this road. 646 as well. The little red rooster would have liked it..
