Don't forget the doors and windows. They can leak a tremendous amount of heat, especially if they are older. Often, builders doing insulate the small two between the windows and the studs.

Thanks for setting this up. I am hoping to make it.

My brother just picked up a 2014 FJR. Which is the best forum for info on them?

Did a victory lap around the neighborhood today on a dirt bike.

Get well soon!

I think there is a word for the government redistributing wealth and economic resources as it sees fit, and it certainly is not in the constitution.

Isn't wealth redistribution the opposite of liberty?

I need to re-read the constitution. I must have glossed over the section about government responsibility for wealth redistribution and guaranteeing everyone owning their own home.

There is a good section of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that deals with the art of proactivity. I find that information very useful when dealing with extremely difficult people.

Heated gear greatly lengthens the riding season. It also makes touring much more enjoyable as the weather conditions change.

This is a common issue addressed in many of the articles reviewing this bike. Between the XR and the Multistrada, they are both very nice bikes. Sport bike performance with comfy ergos is nice!

Having separate accounts does not necessarily mean that you are not partners for life. We have separate accounts. I am fiscally conservative, and I handle all household financial items. My libertarian nature does not want to tell my wife what and what not to spend her money on. She can spend her money how she sees fit. We go through the finances quarterly, so she can see the status of everything.

You could drink a bunch of beer and roll up the pant legs for less than the cost of exchange.

Congrats! You will have them for many years.

You may want to check out the Firstgear TPG over pant. They are waterproof, breathable, and they include the D30 armor. I was considering them prior to buying my 1 piece suit.

My parents bought all 3 of my daughters new dirt riding gear with boots. They are ecstatic. I bought myself a new pair of boots for the street and a set for the dirt.

They are too warm in the summer. They have no airflow. If they used a more breathable material, they would be better.

I have the Tourmaster Overpant. However this is my favorite suit. Unfortunately, I did not got get it on clearance, but this suit is extremely flexible: http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/closeouts/textile_jackets_and_pants/first_gear/tpg_expedition_suit_2014.html

Riding in a long number of consecutive months has a lot to do with willpower. I am coming up on nearly 4 years of riding at least once a month, but I ride street & dirt bikes. Heated gear makes riding in the cold easy peasy.

+1. Diversified is key. That and low expense fees.

How does the LCP compare with the Glock 42 and the S&W MP Bodyguard? Thinking about picking up one of these 3 for the better half for Christmas.
