I wish you wouldn't say that

Thanks for the report! I was wondering if you were going to see any tornado damage there.

Pay more for an inferior bike. I like Yamaha but the FJ is years old with a 5 speed tranny even. You can send me a comparo test from any cycle mag that rated the FJ higher. And looks are in the eye of the beholder.

I find the bike very comfortable, has gobs of power, it handles well and feels lighter than it is, but you don't want to be pushing it around! Sidecases hold a lot of luggage. Although I can't comment on the newer ones, I never had any issue with engine heat. It goes about 300-315km on a...

You watch other people travel on TV? I thought watching golf was bad enough. Or fishing.

Congrats on making it home - sleep for a week :)

Walls of text! There should be a meeting.

That's interesting, the older I get the more I want the luxurious bed, private shower and A/C :)

Looking forward to your photos. Don't forget to stay up late and take some shots of the UFO's/ghosts/reapers/aliens around Brown Mountain!

You need to vacuum your camera at all times. But only on a Honda

While you're in Cali, you should go on the Price is Right - they gave away a new VFR1200 not long ago. It would have new tires on it :)

Live for the long rides. I have to fill in my map! But, I do need my job to pay for this luxury, so some years I only get a week or two. Every 3rd year I save up enough time off for a longer adventure. California in 2013 (unless the world has ended) Next year, I'm adding Europe to it :)

Re: Help me plan my epic trip of a lifetime! Toronto->California and back in 15 days! A lot of good suggestions here. I agree with staying away from any large US City if you can. Or at the very least only go there on weekends. I'm not a camper but what I have found is that budget motels (by...

I want to buy that. I'm tired of paying Bell for touch tone service.

Having the hardbags is awesome. I've never stopped for rain* and I'm totally confident with them. *OK, I stopped once in Nebraska - but it was because we seriously thought there might be tornado activity!

Kawasaki likes to call my bike a "Transcontinental Supersport Tourer". I think it's a little too fat for that, but it certainly does not lack for speed or comfort. I bought it specifically for touring. I plan to fill in some more of the map below this year.

Better pic of my touring girl, ready to cross any bridge...

My first bike. No one told me these things are so slow...
