    Waterproof gear recommendations?

    +1 for the TCX boots. Have been perfectly waterproof for me since I bought them in December 2018. I ride them year round. Personally don't find them too hot in the summer. They also seem to keep my feet pretty warm on all but the coldest rides. TCX X-Five EVO Gore-Tex Boots | 31% ($90.00) Off...

    I hope it happens again next year. If so, I'll see if we can get a group to go together. Maybe meet somewhere for breakfast and all ride over or something. I hope this event really takes off. I'd love to have a vibrant IMS show in Nashville every year. It's one of the few things I miss about...

    That's a good writeup. Thanks for posting it. Not sure how I missed it first time around. Also, I now have another YouTube subscription...thanks! It's funny how you can lust after a bike a long time, then ride it, and in the first few minutes reality replaces fantasy and kills the dream. The...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    That's right. Here's the keys...enjoy the ride. Public roads around the venue. The Yamaha team was leading guided tours. They had a road captain and a sweep. We left as a group, had to ride between the control riders, and they didn't put up with any tomfoolery. But they had a nice route on...

    IMS Nashville IMS Nashville Progressive's International Motorcycle Shows appears to have abandoned the large indoor shows of the past. I attended the Chicago show for many years with Joe Nardy, Wazz, TWR1776, Baatfam, and others. But those shows were dying off even before I moved away about 8...

    Sounds like a fun ride. Could the signal issue be a problem in the switch itself?

    K&N weld a nut to the oil filter. Seems like a great idea. Makes it easy to install and remove. But sometimes the weld breaks and makes a hole in the filter. If you search for "K&N oil filter failure" you'll find several class action lawsuits, many forum posts, and some YouTube videos. Joe...

    Over the weekend I made another trip to visit Joe Nardy in Maryville TN. We rode many of the fun roads in the area Saturday and Sunday, and got to have dinner with Mr. & Mrs. BAATFAM Saturday night. Absolutely the best way to spend a weekend - good friends and good roads. Saturday Joe and I...

    Took a few days off last week and rode over to visit Joe Nardy. It's a nice ride from my place to his that includes roads such as the Cherohola Skyway and The Tail Of The Dragon. Joe and I rode the Foothills Parkway and then through The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It being the few days...

    Man, that is one pretty GS. The pictures don't do the paint job justice. In person that color scheme is just lovely. My new 2nd favorite GS paint job. PS. Thanks for Hatch Red Chile Sauce. I'm sort of addicted now. Good thing they put their website address on the jar. I'm going to have order...

    Hey! I resemble that remark! You'd think by now I'd learn, but this happened to me just last year. Also, I wasn't alone. Three of us on that trip replaced tires mid-trip due to underestimating tire wear or, in one case, a puncture.

    King of the baggers @ Laguna

    I watched the race and was entertained. Wondering if the fairings and bags are stock, or maybe just ornaments made of carbon fiber. Probably the latter. Do you think there's enough interest to justify running more races? I'd watch them, but mostly because it's just such an oddity. But, if...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Left out early Saturday morning to return Joe's bike and recover mine from his garage. Weather ended up being nice, so we got out late morning and rode about 120 miles around the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests. Joe wanted to try out a new route off the Cherohala Skyway. It was a nice...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    People keep talking about the amazing mileage they get from these R5s. But mine is totally shagged with less than 5k miles. Weird. Our bikes weigh roughly the same and you ride at least as hard as I do. Likely harder. I'm at a loss. I like the tire, but it's expensive for only getting 5,000 miles.

    Interesting. Is it still under warranty? I've gotta believe you have the highest mileage example of this model year on the road today. The Triumph dealer must be amazed. I wonder what they think of you in Hinkley.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Not today, but Sunday I rode to Joe Nardy's house south of Knoxville. It rained most of the day, but was still a nice ride. Plan was for us to ride the area Monday, then I had a lovely back-roads route planned to get home Tuesday. Joe has really set himself up well at the base of the Smoky...

    I had a crash...a big one!

    Holy cow! That's terrifying. So glad you are able to tell us about it. Take it easy. Hope you recover quickly.
