    Not enough money in the world to get me on that path. Guy's got stones of steel or brains of iron - or both. RR

    JeffC, You are my kind of rider. Get to where you need to go as quickly as possible so you can spend more time riding in the area you went to see. Proper planning and discipline make a 1000 mile day fairly easy. My trouble is finding a willing riding partner. Arcadia Nat'l Park and California this year, 4 Corners next year, Alaska in '10.

    Believe it or not, the cheapest I found the Progressive air pump was at the local HD dealer (when you count shipping, etc.). They were having a sale of 10% off or something and I paid about $40 (might have been $35). It is also a zero let off pump. So when you release the valve, no air is released. This is important on the front forks because a little air will change the pressure a lot. RR

    Great looking thong chaps. If they were only pink. RR

    Wind mills for water pumps were used quite extensively in flyover country. Good find Pegscraper. BTW, I still need to post pics of the HD taillight assy I bought from you. It looks great. RR

    Yup, Garrison was the one I was thinking of. Used to pass it going to a resort just nort' of Mille Lacs Lake. Brainerd was the town we woudl go into for 'getting in trouble' and I didn't bother to look at a map. Once I pulled the map up and followed the route we took, Garrison was the right place. Thanks for the correction. RR

    There is also a big fish in Hayward, WI (Fishing Hall of Fame) and, I believe, in Brainerd, MN. There's a statue of a Boll Weevil in Enterprise, AL, but that only counts as bait. RR

    Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried to bleed the clutch? You may also want to check the adjustment of the linkage. Both are easy to do and would eliminate the simple solutions. RR

    Is it the beautiful, fast red one - or the millineum beige one. If it's the red one, jump on it quickly. If it is the beige one ..... well .... you should probably still jump on it quickly. RR

    Steve, Do we need to take a ride to Hayward this weekend? RR

    Bump - took to ling to find the next target. RR

    George, Very nice bike. You have a lot of states to fill in on your map. Enjoy. RR

    If you get the Buddy Rich cable, it sets up flawlessly. I have the setup on my RSV and it sounds better than in my truck. Search the forums for details. RR

    Just remember the key word here is "parked" in front of a Kenworth. I need to get the Venture out of storage. RR

    Pick up a copy of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". It is a story about folks in Savannah. There are tours there that point out the places of interest from the book. It is a good read also. Good luck getting you tire fixed quickly. Ride safely and post pics. I love Savannah (My aunt lives there). RR

    Outstanding Scotty!!! Well done in the face of adversity. RR

    Buy a good set of riding clothes and a very good helmet. Go to a retailer of Aria and/or Shoei and try them on to find one that fits comfortably. If they are comfy, you will wear it more often. Best investment you can make. Good clothes are a comfort on the road and a lifesaver on the pavement. You will also want really good rain wear. Just my thoughts. It sure would be nice to have $2000 for farkles. RR

    Goose, See post #4. No hitch installed. However, very good input. I will be checking my bolts - as well as the frame loop. Scary. RR

    +1 on BuddyRich cable. It allows you to connect your Bluetooth phone thru the Zumo and speak handsfree using your headset. Assuming a full face helmet, it sound as good as a handsfree kit in the truck. RR

    The 08 is great for taller folks. It has a very high seat and you can get lots of items for alterations. Such as, raising links, peg lowering brackets, flat seat instead of one that pushes you forward, highway pegs on the engine guard, etc. I suggest www.klr650.net for a resource to get your farkles (Fun Accessories, Really Kool, Likely Expensive) FYI - you will need to adjust the shift and brake pedals down to accommodate the the peg lowering brackets. I know, I put them all (except the flat seat - waiting on budgeting) on my new 08 KLR. I'm 6'4" and it fits nicely now. It must be a trend.

    +1 on Black Owl. Speedbleeders make the job easy. Get the overflow bag kit when you order them. RR
  22. RedRider
    Get the cop to take the picture - that would be double bonus!! RR

    BradT has the right idea. Use a couple of soft straps to look around the forks so you don't need to worry about scratching them. Cinch in down so the forks are compressed, but not bottomed out. Make sure the tie down points are in front of the fork locations so the front tire will be pressed into the tire chock. You can tie down the back to the saddle bag rails since you don't really need to make them too tight. They are just there to keep the back end from walking around. As an alternative, just ride it .

    Steve, What, you don't want to fly down and ride it back? Take a round-about way and you can qualify for an Iron Butt (and a soft head). Look forward to seeing your new toy. Good luck in getting quality shipping. RR

    As preparation for a long trip, I put a 1 gallon gas can on the back of the bike and ran it to empty to see how much I would get on the highway. Came in at 211 indicated miles. As they say in the commercials - Your mileage will vary depending on your riding style etc. etc. I should give you some peace of mind. And it is a great excuse for burning a tank of gas for a ride!!!
