You've done a great job on your bike. It looks very nice!

Good lord... I'd say both those guys had to buy new pants shortly after the recording stopped. :eek:

This little road is very close to work for me, so I can inhale a burger and hop on the bike and take a nice little ride. Great river road, but lots and lots of blind turns necessitate slower speeds. Never know when you'll run across a guy with a fishing pole standing in the road. YouTube -...

0 miles for me as well. I was waiting on myself to heal up from surgery before I could ride, so we delivered the bike to the warehouse at work. Then we went ahead and stripped the back half of the bike to the frame to install the Givi V35 saddlebags. The act of drilling holes in a bike that I...

30 here. Halfway to 31 now. Just approaching the 2 year mark on my riding career.

Very nice.

I don't think I can qualify for BOTM contests, not enough posts on the forum. Thanks for the compliment though! ~Scott

I hear VA is really getting hammered with snow. We got a few inches last night as well, but nothing as bad as you're seeing. At least it's pretty. I couldn't resist the photo op today. Spring will be here soon enough!

Looks like a great winter project. I would recommend using something that flies straight though. Looks like he almost took himself out a couple times in the video! :eek: Thanks for sharing!

My condolences. :rant: Kidding of course. Congrats!

When it's time for new rubber on mine, I'm planning on a full set of the Pirelli Angel ST Tires. The Angel ST series has replaced the Diablo Strada line-up. I've got a Pirelli Diablo Strada for my rear tire now, and it has close to 8k on it with very little wear. I've been very happy with it...

I think it was 28 degrees (F) when I rode to work this morning. I'm usually good to the low 20's without much trouble. I don't joy-ride anywhere near as much when it's that cold, but I still enjoy my morning commute. I won't ride when it's cold AND raining. I can handle the cold, and I can...

I know I'm too late for this one, but this picture was too cute and I had to share it. (He's a turkey) Current challenge: Your bike in front of a "signature/tourist" location in your area. Bonus if you can post a link to another picture of this location on the internet (Not one of yours. )

Sorry to hear about your wreck. I hope you heal up quickly. +1 on the Olympia Air Glide over-pants. They're cool in the summer, and do quite well in the colder temps once you put the liner in. They're also really great at keeping you nice and dry during the rainy rides.

I always enjoy Captain Crash's videos. Here's a good one on starting on an incline. :thumbup: Be safe! YouTube - 60 Second Lesson: Starting on an Incline

The Kawasaki Concours 14 has this type of technology. They call it Kawasaki's Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System or "KIPASS." This review has details on both the bike, and the KIPASS. Ridden & Reviewed: 2008 Kawasaki Concours 14

These are a little more than you are wanting to spend, at ~$389, but I picked one up for my wife. She loved it so much that she made me buy one for myself. Very nice helmet, it's extremely light and the carbon fiber looks awesome on them. Joe Rocket Carbon RKT101 The only complaint I had about...

I've got the Givi V35's on my '07. I think they look great. They lock closed, and are locked to the bike. It's very easy to remove the bags to bring into a hotel room at night. If you pack creatively, you can fit 3 nights worth of clothes in each bag which makes for a nice long weekend for...

Wow. Had to forward that one to my Dad. He's been working on his layout for quite a while now, using most of his basement. It's nowhere near as large as that, and is still very much a work in progress... http://rickbigs.blogspot.com Even if you don't appreciate the trains themselves, the...

Riding the tail of the dragon (us129) on the way back to Tennessee from Atlanta, Georgia. My wife and I took a four day weekend to visit some of my family. We rode somewhere between 650 and 700 miles round trip. This was our first big trip on the FZ. Well, actually, this was our first big...
