A local rider was killed a couple miles from my house yesterday afternoon. Got hit by a truck on the highway on the side of the road. I can't fathom how people don't see something stopped on the side of the road.

I've always wondered how well a bar end mirror worked.

Here is my observations on the FJR as far as tires go. (Not trying to start a tire thread, I am stopping after this ) Stock Stones: 2800 (Toast, lost shape) Angel GTs: 4500 Average (Held Shape until almost worn out, 3 Sets) PR4s: 4800 with tread left (Bad Feathering)

I am gonna try the T30s next time around.

I agree, I never had a tire move around as much as my PR4s. My Angel GTs used to stick like glue.

Some people buy bikes to look cool, others buy bikes to ride them.

Welcome!

Interesting news article about Foothills. Looks like we may be able to ride the new section by 2018... http://www.wbir.com/news/local/foothills-parkway-missing-link-nearly-bridged/344999526

I like to go by the simple rule. Cheap, fast, or reliable. Pick two.

42/42 I usually wear tires evenly across the tread.

Just looked over the bike for the first time since the trip. My rear tire was brand new when I left, 0 miles. After the trip, the tire is feathering awful bad. This is my first set of PR4s and probably my last.

The truck is waiting for engine and transmission. It was all together with a stock 5.3 LS and burnt up the stock transmission. Now fully built transmission and motor with cam & heads, stud kit and new bearings. Truck runs full factory fuel injection with braided lines front to back for fuel. Going to be running a Flex fuel pump good for 650hp. Transmission cooler mounted underside of the bed with braided hoses. Custom wiring harness and tune from Current Performance. All factory gauges work with no lights on dash and has A/C. I am hoping to be somewhere close to 500 to the wheels. I got this truck when I was 15, bone stock. It has came a long way, First time we painted it, i was hit on 339 head on and totaled it. I replaced the frame and went through all the salvage title stuff just to keep it. Stock 4.3 let go at 215,000 miles, I've been doing the LS swap stuff for 2 1/2 years now, but it becomes back burner to motorcycles. April 2009 June 2009 2010 And yes, everything is a tight fit.

Welcome! Sharp looking bike.

Welcome! Hocking Hills is a nice riding area, sadly I am at work.

It's very much different than most S10s.

No, my truck.

Here is the heads for my motor. 706 heads with a severe port and polish, decked .030 to bump compression, and double springs with titanium hardware.

Welcome!

I am supposed to get my newly built LS for my truck this week. Complete head work over, cam, titanium hardware, arp stud kits. Transmission being built and I got a new circle D stall converter. Should be fun in the s10. I built the rest of the driveline last winter, just got a set of Moser axles I need to drop in.

I didn't see anything like this in the article. I'll stick with my little ole town.

I probably be riding around SEO tomorrow. Might hit 555, haven't been out that way in forever it seems.

So I decided to throw together my pictures from the gap trips into a collage. Makes a nice desktop background.

Is it foldable if it has sides added to it? I think it would be more useful if it had side railings and tie off points.

Welcome Joe!
