At the Snake 

I recently towed 2 bikes to NC and back, 1,200 miles with my Mustang. We averaged 80 mph on the Interstate and once we got up to speed you really couldn't feel the bikes. I also towed a very large pop up camper all over New England with a Firebird when I was a kid.

Also put radials on your trailer if your doing interstate speeds.

 

 

Took a ride yesterday, weather was great.

No I haven't. Bogart's,  The old Tipping point. Now Sauced. Boojum, Pub 319. Fat Buddies. I was visiting a very close friend  who lives over in Canton. I'm staying up in Highlands. 

The one in Waynesville is awesome, if there's a better place to eat in the Smokies I haven't found it yet.

Took a quick ride to lunch to see an old friend.

Maybe 100 miles.

Have you been to the Haywood Smokehouse?

Stopped to pick up some supplies in NC, didn't have our masks but we did have face coverings.

 

They also closed the Dragon yesterday 😟

 

 

Took it out for a spin on a beautiful day, this is about a mile from my place and that pretty valley behind my bike is soon to be turned into a solar farm complements of my local power company. 😟

 

A friend I ride with has a F800gt that I have ridden many times and I can tell you the bike is underrated, I will easily be riding 5+ mph faster in the twisties on that bike than my FJ and the smoothness of that belt drive will spoil you quick. 

I think motorcycles ruined my chances of dating any of the girls that lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid, luckily with a bike I was able to sneak through the woods and backroads to get to other towns nearby where their parents didn't know me yet. 🙄

Seems like more riders think the beaks look better now than they did when they were selling for $175 bucks 😲

The FJR-ES is a great bike if you live where its real cold but not down here in the south, I had one for a few years and that bike cooked me real good on a few trips up to the Smokies.

A friend of mine has a farm in Weaverville NC and I have stayed there on many riding trips over the years, the biggest problem we have riding out of that location is deciding witch way to go every day because the riding is great in every direction.

 
 
Nice riding weather here in Florida now that the weather has finally cooled down, that's the road in front of my place.
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 


 

Wow, how many DWI's have you had?

I have no idea if these things work and as noisy as the fj is I doubt anyone could tell the difference, but with all the nickel and dime cost cutting going on in the global powersports industry you have to wonder why would they put something on a bike if it did nothing.
Anyway here's what these guys say:

Does anybody know the size of wrench I should use for the 02 sensor? I used an adjustable wrench and HATE doing that. Although I just bought a set of adjustable crescent vice grip wrenches...lol.

How wide did the adjustable wrench have to open to fit the sensor?

Should have just gotten an adjustable metric wrench.

What do you think of this aux light setup? I could bring them in narrower and/or up or down a little.

Not planning on hitting any bumps then?

Yikes 

I went exploring a few weeks ago through North GA and North Carolina. Had a nice ride down War Woman road, up into the Highlands and then 64 back into North Georgia but I didn't stop to take any pictures. When I got back to N. GA I went out of my way to take a few pictures.

About time, I was getting tired of dodging them tar snakes.

Yes. A couple of hours ago. 

Nice, very cool place it's like a jungle in there.

Bald River Falls, Tn.

 How much of that cost is government taxes? The cost of crude oil does not change for different countries. Also, BP manages to sell petrol much cheaper in the USA

BP manages to do plenty of stuff cheaper in the US and many other countries where the politicians are hungry for their contributions, I'd walk before I bought fuel from them scoundrels.

Quite terrifying indeed!

Downright scary when you consider the price of fuel affects the price of just about everything else, fuel at $6 bucks a gallon and the USA would be out of business. 
 
 

Went for a ride looked for some abandoned houses or something but was unable to find anything "scary"...

 
 
Just roll through Atlanta at rush hour duhs10, that allways scares peep out of me.
