One more...any news on the tally so far?

Saw it and liked it. I really liked Ben Foster as Charlie Prince. He's a crazy lookin'/actin' bad guy. He also was a great bad-guy in Alpha Dog.

How old is the R? You may be due for a shock replacement/upgrade.

Hi Andy, good to hear from you (and Pat!) - a blast from the past! Nice to hear the family unit is well. Cycling is a great activity - much safer in jolly old England (or anywhere in Europe) where cycling is part of the landscape. Here, except for a few pockets, cyclists are considered nuisances. Co...

egates, the flyscreen mounts are clean but they're a bitch to install - if you're the patient type, the frustration level should remain in the normal category - of course, I'm not so it (the bracket mounting) isn't. The flyscreen (speedscreen) provides chest pressure release -thus hands, wrist, shou...

Thank you for all your help. Your website, http://home.mindspring.com/~jabrooks was the best adjunct to this site - a lot of work went into that! Sorry to see ya go but good luck with your new bike and adventures - it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

Very slick and clean! Nice job on the pipe. I would only suggest a one-piece (maybe a corbin) to smooth out the lines. Keep posting!

Sorry, my lame attempt @ humor. It's a word George Costanza used in a Trivia game from a scene on the Seinfeld show that features a bubbleboy.

MOOPS!

Doff o' the cap once again Boxer - you sure are gettin' good at this! I really liked the shots of you and your Bride. I can see in your eyes (both of yours), some of the history and soul of your lives together -very cool. Keep bringin' it (easy for me to say!) - your sync is extraordinary!

Please update your experiences, as it relates to the R1150R, as you see fit. As guys my age edge closer and closer to the 'Gold Wing moment' with bigger and bigger bikes with more protection, I find my interests leaning in the opposite direction, toward the more athletic bikes. The F800ST is one tha...

Excellent package Boxer - 2 jugs up!

The Corbin seat I upgraded to is fantastic. Well made but heavy. It's one piece and what makes it so much better than stock (wide platform, stiff cushioning) also increases effective seat height. Though the seat platform is lower than stock, the wider platform causes the legs to splay out a bit and ...

Bought my '02 in late '01. 1) Heated grip failure due to cable ties pinched too tight on the wire harness as attached to the main frame (snapped the conductor inside the wire jacket). 2) Leaking fuel lines due to shiddy stock crimp connectors. Replaced with FI-type connectors. No other problems - pr...

St. Paul MN here. (got the Parked Motorcycle Syndrome)

ya ya, I'm inski

Chitown, you are DA MAN! What a completely awesome travelogue - even sans time/temp parameters. I raise a glass to ya, my friend!

Man, that looks like a great trip - I wish I coulda gone with you! You're right about the screen - I use it in the top position on the slabs and it functions better than a larger screen, plus it's not hideous. The hand guards work so well, I'm given to leaving 'em on in the summer (Hey Rocky, wanna ...

They need to be Viton or Buna-N (nitrile), both are common.

I have this set-up, and if you remember to give the cancel switch quick stabs for the running lights there will be no interference with the driving/fog lights the SM-5 controls. I believe the cancel switch has to be held for 1.7 seconds for the autoswitch to change states - that's enough time to adj...
