    One more thing WELCOME to the site! Try and plan on meeting us at some of the get togethers..The next Big Annual get together will be in July in Ontario, Canada. My wife and I are going as we had a blast this past year in FT. Collins,CO..You will see alot of jealousy between 1st Gen owners and the far superior 2nd Gens but its all in fun. Besides I learn alot from watching the 1st Gens being worked on!

    At 5ft 9 I had issues but practice, practice, practice. Also when I replaced my tires and went to the Avon Venom 41 ft 42 rears It made a world of difference. Some on here have put on leveling links but my opinion is changing the tires does the trick...I know it sounds weird but all the people I know says the same thing. I have the stock size tires also,but some prefer the smaller size front tire. After you get used to it it will be all you expected I do believe. Tom

    TIRES

    Tom replied to pas0047's topic in Safety and Education

    Ive never tried the Michelins but I have the Metz880s. The metz started chunking rubber at 1700 miles,i\I am a fanatic about checking air pressure,I could have had the dealer swap tires under warranty but I had Avons prior and figured I would go back to them..I will NEVER have anything but them,(Avons that is). They make the bike feel 300 lbs lighter and cornering is effortless plus they do not follow the road snakes,or cut outs in the road like my Dunlops did that came on the bike. You will find the majority of us are running either Michelin or Avons....At Ft Collins I was surprised at how many of us run the Avons. Tom

    I did that same loop and we stayed in Kanab,UT and you can take in Zion and Bryce with plenty of time to look around. Nice accommadations in Kanab,UT. Then I would go on to Moab as you will want to spend a few days there.Also nice places there to stay. Tom

    Lowell,What you need to do is get that laptop and write a book on all of your journeys! I use a sprint wireless card for my ISP now because the only other choice I have is dial up and this is ALOT faster. Tom

    I would just go with the Avons too start with. I am 5ft 9 and the bike handles great with just the Avons.My opinion is it is overkill to do both. As far as handling PRACTICE PRACTICE,,,With the new Avons I can uturn fully cocked in any direction and ease it around,no problem.

    Reiny,Hope he recovers OK. Here in Texas we have a conceal carry law and I am so glad of it in todays times. I go nowhere without my 357 SIG. I hope I never have to use it but at 55 I cant rely on my size anymore. Here we have the MS13 gangs and they randomly pick an innocent bystander on occasion and shoot for no reason...As you say,"whats this world coming to?" And Debby has her license also and definitely isnt afraid to use it IF necessary.( I wouldnt want to be in her sights as she shoots about as good as I.) Yes I practice gun control....I hit where I aim! Tom

    I tip 15-20% IF the service is good. IF the service is BAD,I still tip.....only a penny though. Tom

    The jacket I use is the Joe Rocket Super Ego. It is leather and can be unzipped to reveal a mesh jacket for summer use...still warm but it may help if I hit the ground. http://www.ridegear.com/images/items/superegojacket.jpg
