  1. I would rather have the Mille. How are you enjoying it so far?
  2. Thanks for the suggested route. I know where I am headed on the next day the wife and kids are tied up for the day.
  3. I wish Ron Paul was younger and a canidate. It seems like people are moving more toward libertarianism, but I don't think a libertarian candidate would be elected as a 3rd party candidate in my lifetime. Donald Trump is a slow moving train wreck waiting to happen.
  4. Better be careful! I hear those bikes like to be washed in hotel parking lots each morning. Jim's bike is very nice. If I thought of getting another cruiser, I would definitely put one of these near the top of the list.
  5. I had my Connie re-flashed by Guhl, and I like it. I only have a slip on exhaust. The real reason for my re-flash was to open up secondary butterfly valves earlier. It made a noticeable performance upgrade at lower RPMs.
  6. I rode through there about a month ago, and there is some good riding down there. I took US33 from Columbus to Harrisonburg to get to the Outer Banks. US33 gets nice a little east of Ripley, WV, but east of Elkins is great! US250 also has some good riding. Beware that in VA, anything over 80mph is a reckless op, and you have to appear in court. They won't let you just mail in the fine.
  7. Correctly picking this will be like correctly picking the winning lottery number.
  8. Those are nice bikes. Congrats.
  9. That sucks! Hopefully, he is OK. It looks like he tried it out as an adventure bike.
  10. I thought STs were the best of both worlds?
  11. You mention a FZ1 as a suggestion for a sport tourer or adventure bike. How are FZ1s as a sport bike. Is it better to get a true sport bike? I am thinking about getting an additional bike, but I have not ridden an fz1. A Connie will be my daily rider for the foreseeable future, but a sport bike could be fun on the weekends.
  12. I would say to head up to Squamish and Whistler. There are some beautiful roads up there.
  13. Older VFRs are also a good low cost way to get into sport touring.
  14. LBTS GLWS. I have always wanted to take one of these for a spin.
  15. Take hypermotard to SE Ohio for the best riding around. Unfortunately, it won't hold a candle to riding in the Rockies.
  16. Technology advancements?

    Ear Plugs

    I use inexpensive tri flange ear plugs. I wash them off periodically. They were like $6 for 3 pairs at Walmart. They work really well.
