Thanks Don ... I'll look at the temps, as I know the fins are clean.

Actually I haven't trusted the fuel gauge from day one, and just fill up at 200 miles. After my 4th straight failure way back several years ago I simply stopped having it replaced as I don't think could never bring myself to trust it. Agreed it'd be nice to have it working - but trust it again, nev...

I've just recently experiencing overheating on my '11. When on a longer ride (600-1000 miles), even stopping for a red light causes the indicator to climb higher than I've ever had prior. This happens now even when its only in the 70's. If I miss the light and have to wait 2 cycles the indicator cli...

Just saw an email from MAX about coming Schuberth test-rides in June. Can't think of a better way to see if it suits me better than my RF-1100

Great looking bike ... I love the blacked out details, especially the wheels

Awesome trip down through the Appalachians ... 12 days, 10 states and 4k miles of awesomeness http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/TrudyRoo/2014%20Spring%20Break/IMG_0837_zps799b5004.jpg . http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/TrudyRoo/2014%20Spring%20Break/IMG_0876_zpsdb1ae207.jpg . http:/...

So you are only riding with him one-way to the conference ... go for it. I see the plusses you identified as "work-covered travel days" to get you to Nashville, so post conference you can head to Cherohala, Dragon, etc... then home and all on your own schedule. The minuses are you don;t kn...

They are the Barkbuster Storms.

Happy New Year!!

Hope you all got out to kick off the new riding year with a blast down your favorite twisty!

Brought my iPhone (camera) with me today ... tooling around western CT http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/TrudyRoo/WTF/IMG_0370_zps4c77b319.jpg . http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/TrudyRoo/WTF/IMG_0374_zps736497f6.jpg . http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/TrudyRoo/WTF/IMG_0386_z...

My bikes 1st ferry ride ... can't believe it took this long! Route 211 cable ferry Nove Scotia

Badbs... that seat looks great on that classic

Thanks for the writeup. After 600 miles yesterday I bailed on any more miles, have an airhawk on order - but am now considering a new seat.

Best tire is a new tire :lol: for me anyway. To the dealer tomorrow morning bright and early for my 2nd set of PR3s. Have just shy of 11k on current set, and though theres still a (tiny) bit of wear left the rear is quite square and the riding through the last sets of deluges this past week left me ...

...and a newer twin this past weekend in the Catskills... great riding this week!

Where 'bouts is the collection? Owl's Head Museum? Dave Percival's place is up in Andover Maine ... you may have seen his collection featured in several pictorials over the years. Great stories, great host... and some great bikes. I never did ask about stopping by as my friend had prearranged it (h...

Ran up to NH & Maine last weekend... only took one shot of my bike: http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/TrudyRoo/WTF/IMG_0175_zps43c16175.jpg What I did take a few shots of were some amazing BMW's ... this one in particular just needs to be seen. One of many in a private collection in Main...

In the interest of adding more (mostly) useless data points ... today from a full tank (1/2 way up the tube) I was staring at 225 miles on the trip computer, 32 miles left showing on MTE readout ... 1 bar showing on the gauge and no low-fuel light. I only got 5.02 gallons back to the 1/2 way up the ...

By any chance, do you know what is the width of the rok straps bungees?

The ROK straps are 1" wide ... the widest part of the side-squeeze buckle is 1.25"

I'll add in that it may take 2 tries to get it right even with the right part number - it did for me. SF is right - the Tankring part number for an '11 is TRT.00.640.12801/B My 1st one last summer just would not sit flush, though it seemed perfectly in alignment when you set it flat on a surface.
