Nice work man. 90% of the bikes I see with custom colours look much worse than original, but you've done some nice work. I love the colours.

Thanks for the warning, and the suggestions. I've heard the deer are crazy, even during the day. I actually bought some of those warning whistles for your car bumper, and I'm going to try and find a spot on my bike to mount them. Not sure if they will help. It's one of those things where I'll...

I thought about staying in the same place, but I figure the trade off for 2/3 days with luggage instead of 3/3 days wasn't worth being tied to a specific location the entire weekend. The other issue with staying in Williamsport on Friday is that some of the guys in my group will be leaving from...

Yes, it was the 3 day. The $500 is a maximum, and usually the damage done to the bike isn't $500 bad. But yes, I did have to pay over half that.

I also wanted to get back in here and say thanks to everyone for contributing. Our dates are approaching and I have a pretty good route planned now. We'll do cheap motels in Bradford, PA on Friday night Williamsport on Saturday night. Saturday I have tentative 500km route planned that we can...

If they want to change my perception of the bike, they should change the bike. I hate all the marketing BS and trying to spin products to make them more appealing. If they took the money they put into stuff like this and put it into the bikes, it could have some pretty impressive features at the...

Trail Tours is awesome. I took my wife there and we had so much fun she insisted we go back. Crashing sucks man. Your story sounds very similar to what happened to me at Racer5 except you had a much worse outcome. I went into the hard left (turn 2 i think?), didn't setup properly, dragged a peg...

The full fairing is somewhat hard to find on the 650. Not sure why, it makes it look much more like a sportbike.

Now you're speaking my language.

Even Rain Man can't remember every turn he'll ever need to make. Even with superior memory and sense of direction, you seem to have forgotten all the other reasons I mentioned for using a GPS. No one said anything about using while riding, or using it at lights, you just inferred that. It's...

That state farm rate isn't bad. I was paying something like that when I was 29 with a GS500. Probably has something to do with your location vs mine. For your age and a 600cc bike I would be surprised if you find something better.

I have to disagree. Exploring is fun, getting lost is a pain in the ass. If you want to take some random turns and see what you can find that's one thing. If you have a time and place to be somewhere and you end up somewhere else that isn't fun. GPS isn't just for telling you how to get...

I was just mapping some out for a trip the other day. I had decent results using the gas buddy website. If you go to the price map and zoom in enough it will show you specific locations. Otherwise, just go the Google maps on a PC and search for "gas". It should update search results as you pan...

I think there are a lot of opportunities but they are at least as much hardware as they are software. The first time I saw the new R1 I thought, "Wow, that dash looks just like a smartphone screen." Everyone has a cell phone with them when they ride, and they are incredibly powerful devices, but...

That actually looks like a really good option. I might give that a go.

Thanks guys. If I might have another look later and see what it would cost to order that 3M tape from the site. I only had a quick glance but it doens't look too bad. I'm nervous about using anything else incase it doesn't un-stick and turns into a mess, or doesn't stick and moves around...

Fixed

I'm not sure the best location for this, but I figure the guys who monitor this would know... I recently grabbed some cheap used saddle bags for my PA trip. They aren't fancy, but I'll probably only use them once or twice this year. They are held on by some fabric straps that cross over the...
