Just something to contemplate. As skyway says, you can get better mileage, but you need to take a look at the octane rating. One of the few valid reasons for using ethanol is that it boosts octane....

Absolutely politically correct. You should run for president! Been to Sparta every year since 2007 to include ESTN 2007, the absolute best event I've ever attended. They had the same BBQ then too. ...

I'm looking into two 24" monitors as I speak with a high end workstation driving them. My laptop is on the counter next to me and I have a netbook for trips. When I need to do "real" computing like...

I am going out tomorrow, maybe Sunday too. Gotta do something about that work thing. Sorry I missed you.

If the choice was a 2013 FJR then things would be a lot tighter. Like the 6th gear, hp is NOT something an FJR needs. No stock RT on the planet comes close to a stock FJR when it comes to power,...

I owned an 06 FJR but have never ridden an RT (would love to own one though). It isn't that the RT will out handle the FJR because IMO it won't, it is that the RT will be a lot easier to handle. ...

Steve, I had an 02 ST and an 04 RS, 955i's. IMO, both were great bikes and nothing to apologize for when comparing them to either the Trophy or 1050 models. Paul, its been a while but I really...

"The Wave" is a topic unto itself on just about every forum I've been on. I thought Gold Wing riders waived at everything, to include dogs, cats, kids, parked cars, etc.

Kevin,
In several studies that I have seen the stats have the same outcome. The rate at which young people kill themselves is high and that is why they have the highest insurance rates, BUT the...

If you look at the stats, the age numbers jump at you, but it is what isn't there that IMO is most important. Yes, both injuries and fatalities are climbing exponentially for the 50+ crow, but are...

Just a FWIW, Wytheville could be an alternate location for Tri-Star some time in the future. Some of Doug's Sparta routes would work well from there too. Opens up SE KY for day trips and VA311 to...

Thanks Jon. Are those items, like the insurance for indemnification of MSTA for an event?

I've got a dumb question (actually lots of them, but this one is at the top of the stack for the moment). What does an "officially" sanctioned event really mean, as compared to a "just for fun"...

The State of SC just got hacked. Why? They didn't spend $25K to protect their system like there staff and other professionals told them to. Government agencies are run by bean counters, not...

I saw this "security" issue mentioned several times. Sorry, I don't buy that. Having a lookup to a database from a website is done routinely without any security issue all over the world. My GIS...

Hi Bill,
Mine didn't have a password either, another point of confusion. This isn't my first rodeo when it comes to websites and Jon does a great job, but it is difficult for me to understand the...

I kinda figured out that part, but what about the email I got saying I was now a "user" ????? I've been using this site for a couple years.

I know I'm old and the brain housing group doesn't function like it used to but I AM CONFUSED. I just got an email saying I'm a "user." I thought I WAS A USER????? I can't even see a "members...

Speaking of East Coast Marines. In about 1976 one of my Marines went home on Christmas leave from Jacksonville, SC, Camp Lejeune to Minneapolis on a 750 Suzuki water buffalo. His exploits were...

Technology is nice, but EVERYTHING needs to be put in its place. With GPS, it tells me where I'm at (most of the time) but it doesn't tell me where to go. The Weather Channel is like Las Vegas, it...

Just an FYI Brick, I have avoided 194 from Banner Elk to Vilas for a long time because of very poor surface condition. No, IMO, terrible road surface, like gravel might be better. Well it has been...

Pat, that pick your spots method is right on target. If you blast near Deals Gap on a week end, be prepared to donate to the local governments, but at other times and other nearby places you can fly...

Greg I think you are correct.
Most of the cruiser crowd hold that counter steering is a myth. It is my firm opinion that, like the guy in the OP, they discover it as their inside peg levers the...

I live about three hours from the Gap but rarely ride there due to the circus atmosphere. It is far too easy for you to be doing all the right things just to get picked off by a moron. The crash in...

I see you at the Ga and NC events and you are launching one way and Ron Vess plus some other Ohio riders and I are launching out some other way. I will make it a point to look you up. Can you beat...
