How many miles did you get from that set?
-
Glad you are good, man.

This thread brings back memories... @Tonik, remember that day we rode to get Mexican food and you accidentally shit yourself in those leathers? Oh, man... loads of fun. Makes me want guacamole. Hey @Skinny guy, want some tacos?

315 miles on the Yamaha & 300 miles on the Voyager, Saturday & Sunday. 810 miles on the Voyager Monday to right meow. I just walked in the door from a service trip to Harrisburg, PA. Got a little wet last night, but hotel'd up in Somerset before the real shit hit the fan. Finished the last stretch this morning. I am absolutely infatuated with the Voyager. I was contemplating swapping the FZ6 for a FJR, but that is completely out the window as of this moment. What a fantastic motorcycle. I am not even slightly sore or road fatigued. I am tired from the lack of sleep that hotel hopping does to me, but none of that lies with the bike. I just can't sleep when I travel unless I self-medicate. The saddle could be better, but it is far from terrible. I can go a whole tank without stopping, no problem. It just could be a little firmer. I can feel the pan in my upper thighs after about 100 miles, or so. If I switch leg positions I can deal with it, but I would also like a bit of lumbar support. That will be the only major change I do to it that I can see. Suspension is what it is. I was 2-up, ripping up and down OH-800, on Sunday and it did very well. So, many thanks to @Tonik for the smashing deal on a mile chewing maniac of a bike. I promise to take good care of her. (I even bought a mitt and chamois to keep in the saddlebag. I washed it twice this week, already.)

Damn. Sorry to hear this. What happened?

Technically not double stacked.

I saw this while on a call in GA. Sign says, "BORN TO BE SEEN, LOOK FOR MOTORCYCLES" Irony is delicious.

Great. Just what we need. Another Tonik. First me. Now this guy.

Planning on leaving Wednesday evening and staying somewhere near the KY/OH border. I have the entire weekend off and wanted to explore the fine state of Kentucky via two-wheeled conveyance. Base camp will probably be near Prestonsburg, but I am open to any/all suggestions. Thank you.

Nordlock washers are pretty dope, too.

If I ride the Vulcan sans helmet it is much quieter than with a helmet. Earplugs are the key to quiet safety.

What helmet offers built-in hearing protection?
-
Awe, hell. Now there will be rolling roadblocks out the asshole down there. Tell your FJR buddies to shut the fuck up.

Loc-Tite and torque wrenches.

Wow. That is a very classy ride.

His pace through the corners was quick enough to surprise me. I led down 44/542/39 and he mentioned he would like to go a little faster. I said he could lead on the way back, but to watch his entry speed and make sure to not ride faster than his eyesight can see. He zoomed along about 60mph and I only saw his brake light a couple times as he set up for the tighter corners. His lines need work, but they weren't terrible. He never had to readjust once he nosed into the turn, but he did run a little wide on a couple. He stayed in his lane, though. He needs some track time. That is my next project.

That is more bike than I am qualified to pilot.

Yes.

You need to reset your baseline test. From now on, only attempt to start it with the side stand retracted (that means "up") and the clutch lever depressed (that means "pulled"). This will help narrow things down to a manageable amount of gremlins.
