Remember: road rash takes longer to heal than a broken bone. ATGATT (All the Gear, All the Time) is my moto. Even when it is 100 degrees, I wear the gear. We were riding o\in Idaho on our recent road trip (they have no helmet law). It was funny that standard bike riders still wore...

My hubby and I made it back yesterday. Total of 2,941 miles. We just didn't have it in us to try to get the 3,000 mile mark even though a quick trip up Geiger Grade and back would have put us over. lol We were too exhausted. The last day we did 375 miles in 6 hours. I'll do a complete...

Congrats!! Nice pic. I have a few pics from my recent trip. Maybe we can make it Triumphs 2 months in a row....:cheer:

I have a Sprint ST which is basically the same engine (proudly a bit better since 06). It is fun isn't it. I just did an 8 day, 3,000 mile trip and it never let me down (look for my ride report coming up). Passing slow traffic without downshifting. Most times I had to brake after the pass...

Thanks! You have a great trip too!! I printed out sections of the maps that I felt were important. I have a set of Butler Maps too I'm bringing along. My hubby is great at seeing a map and route being able to find his way. He does it when we rides dirt out into forest service roads. It...

I fixed it. That's how the site made it. Obviously something happened. Ugh! Thanks everyone! Hopefully the ride goes better than inserting the links did.....

We head out in 2 days and I can't wait!!!! This is the route we plan to take (darn Google Maps won't let me do the entire route on one map, grrr....) http://https://goo.gl/maps/d67pN4t8h5P2 http://https://goo.gl/maps/r5GngCeZecG2 Just over 2800 miles in 8 days. My hubby let me plan the...

I have two Triumphs (after selling my FZ6) and still hang out here regularly. Came for the bike, stayed for the people!:cheer:

I am no expert, but .... I was wondering if the tires need balancing. Had the experience once. Rebalanced a fairly newly installed tire and the difference was amazing. Good luck!

Cool! Great idea. We could use this for sure. I couldn't find a price. OR Is it available in US?

My hubby and I leave in a week for an 8-9 day trip up into Canadian Rockies. I can't wait. I've been working on our route. This will be our 4th big multi-day trip. We've learned a few things.... 1) Preplan your fuel stops. Know your fuel range and don't push its limits. Use Google...

Good advice. No point in trying to be right. Irate car driver vs. irate bike rider - the car will win. Don't even try it. The rider wins when he/she arrives to their destination safely. I had a road rage incident in my car once. The feelings of rage were overwhelming. I don't normally...

Kenny you missed a sweet ride Sunday. Conditions were perfect for my favorite local road. You'll have to try to make it next time...

Susan! I haven't seen you on the forum in ages. So good to hear from you. How is it going? Is your son still riding? I've read a couple of your books now. I love them - wanting more....

Isn't backing the bike up "significant others" job? lol Both my bikes have a convenient handle on the back (passenger bar I think they call it) which he uses to pull me backwards, if needed. :cheer: I'm 5'8" tall so lowering isn't necessary for me, but pushing a 480 pound bike backwards...

My top speed on 07 FZ6 (stock) was 142mph at high altitude (4,500+ feet above sea level). It had more to go, but I was good at that speed. Top Speed on my Sprint 138 mph at even higher elevation (6,500 feet above sea level). Can't get conditions right to beat it... yet. Top speed on my...

When my hubby's on his VFR800 and I'm on the strumpet (love that), when we pass slower cars, most times I have to brake or I will pass him too, without shifting down. lol I've come into to corners too hot a few times and just looked through the corner and the bike just follows along. Where I...

I agree - He's a lot of fun. Don't tell my hubby, but I occasionally (accidentally) start out in 6th gear. Doesn't even bog down. Just pulls away with a nice rumble. I have the stock exhaust and love it. At 30K miles we had the valves checked and they were spot on. No adjustment needed...

This happened on a recent ride that my hubby and I took. We have Sena SH-10 communicators. We sometimes talk during a ride, but mostly we bluetooth music into our helmets. He was riding his bike and I was riding mine. After a few minutes of riding, my hubby clicked on the intercomm and said...

Looks nice! I'm anxious to hear what you think of your Sprint.
