I have a Nikon D90 with 3 lens.

50mm f/1.8
18-55mm
55-200mm

The night pics were shot with the 50mm lens.

My R12R wants to go back on the road.

Great Trip How did the RR perform I have exact same bike colour and all... And my name is Michael B(arber) How did the famous seat perform :lol: The RR performed beautifully. One thing I noticed was all the different riding positions I could ease into. Normal riding position, put out the highway ba...

What's up with the slip on shoes???

$10 at Walmart. You can soak them in water when riding in the desert and your feet stay cool as the water evaporates. Easy on, easy off also.

I know, not the safest shoes for motorcycle riding.

I just got back from a 15 day trip from DC to Seattle and back to DC. Along the way I passed through Yellowstone, Badlands, Glacier, Rocky Mountain, Mt Rainier, and Arches National Parks. Also saw Rushmore and Crazy Horse as well many national forests and Bonneville Salt Flats. I'll post some of the...

I know there are a lot of variables but how low did you cut in relation to your head height? Is the top of the shield 2" inches below your site line? 3"?

Bingo! I thought about using the dremel. What tip did you use?

So you were getting the buffetting before you trimmed it down?

How did you do it?

I'm thinking I should tape it, mark the line with a grease pencil, then start cutting.

I have a V-Stream windshield on my R1200R that buffets the hell out of my head at highway speed. I'm starting a cross country trip this weekend ( http://www.michaelb1.com ) and I don't feel like dealing with it for 6000+ miles. Rather than go through all the trouble of selling it and buying a new on...

yeah, I asked and they didn't go for it.
The guy said the low seats are in demand. Oh well.

He also said the low seat cramps your knees more.

I'm getting my R12R serviced and I sat on another R12R in the dealership with a low seat. MUCH more comfortable to me.

Is it out of the question to ask if they would trade me my seat for a used low?

Carhenge! Crazy Horse! Lolo Pass!

I added my return route to the maphttp://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie ... 7ba8a9&z=4 but looks like i will be editing it tonight to include the tips from this thread.

Next saturday 7/11/09 I am starting my DC to Seattle to DC trip. I'll be riding through as many national parks as I can. I've been reading these boards for months trying to learn as much as i can before I point the wheels west. I've gotten tons of great ideas and tips from people on this forum. you ...

I really like the bike pics. You have to do a post detailing your gear load out. Beings that I depart in 6 days for my tr...

Looks like high country. What were the temps like? Did you freeze at night?
