Your eyesight is much better than mine, it appears. For now, I intend to pay the $20 service fee to continue receiving good old hard copy versions of STAReview, even though no longer available first...

Thank you, Jon.
It seems to work quite well. I did bookmark it for future use with other pdf publications for reading on my desktop. It should be interesting to learn how to access it and use....

Why can we not read STAReview directly on the website.? I am not inclined to download issue after issue onto my desktop.

I could not even follow the course correctly with those circles. The Road King based H-D's do well in this type riding and with their guard bars, do not fall all the way to the pavement, making for...

Great stories, well told all. I am fortunate to have escaped with only a thumbnail size hole burned into the bottom of early Eclipse bags, which remained useful with the hard reinforced bottom. A...

Also, page 47, Motorcycle Consumer News, September 2012, "Contact Patch" column by Fred Rau. Credits MSTA member Bill Thom for assisting him in his time of need while at STAR, Avon, CO.

Thanks,
I am interested even though it is not likely I will ever ride the Parkway by motorcycle, but perhaps drive by car one day.

What part of North America is this in?

I thought it looked like the upper portion of my '03 FJR ...

Good representation for MSTA. Looks like generic sport-touring motorcycle upper portion. I would like to see it on MSTA clothing.

Very thorough. Thanks.

For real? What a find. Project or running vintage machine? Wow.

What are your impressions, Fred?

I replaced the Z6 front and rear with the new Z8 on my Yamaha FJR1300 before riding to STAR in Avon and I am very pleased with the ease of handling and stability over a wide range of surfaces. The...

Congratulations on excellent acquisition. Enjoy. More smiles to the miles.

I have seen Buckeyes on the salt in 2002, during Speed Week, Very impressive group.

Have you heard that STAR is in Lexington, KY, next year?

First fill in Fallon, NV, 54 mpg! Have to wait for next fill and average the two. On my way to STAR.
Round trip average 52 mpg. This is the first time the entire trip to Avon and back averaged over...

Good looking Commando. I tried to rescue two different Commando's, first one was right side shift, hard for me to learn. Second was left side shift but needed head work to replace threads in right...

An '04 is a good choice, in my opinion. It has the early improvements, flush mounted front signals, the extra fairing pocket, the ABS option, all lacking on my otherwise very satisfying '03. Enjoy.

Looks good for two-up, then. Answers one of my questions.

I get 42-46 mpg here in California, on California gas. When riding out of state, on non-California gasoline, I consistently get 49-52
On several occasions, I have recorded 320-324 miles before...

Gee, thanks for increasing the temptation! Jeff Smith, here in the greater bay area is happy with his Super Tenere, having moved over from the Honda CBR1000RR on which he had become a bit too hyper....

FJR shown is 2012, with option to see the 2011 model. Blue looks good on super Tenere. Rated one mpg higher than FJR and should weigh less. Hmmm ... On the other hand, I get better mpg on my '03 FJR...

[QUOTE=stevegrab;7613]Is your rear Metzeler a Z06 or similar (with no grooves on the center)? I had one of those when going to Mail Pouch one year, first time I ran them on my CBR600. I asked another...
