    BDazzler's 2014 trips

    Glad you guys are all ok, and looking forward to more pictures! Oh, and I agree - it takes a bit of courage to admit your mistakes publicly. I am confident that y'all learned from the experiences and are better riders for it. I feel like I have learned from all of mine, and there have been...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Knocked the dust off of the SV650S and rode her to work yesterday ... Since the FZ1 is waiting on a new gauge cluster ... until October 7th:jaw drop:

    Shinko 016 Verge 2X Tire Review

    I just wanna throw a couple of 'Woot's in here right fast ... :woot: for Revzilla - awesome company to deal with. and ... :woot: for Angel GT's - great tires for me, I just wish I had paid better attention to the actual mileage life on that first set. I don't have a firm number...

    No really, lol, we were watching TV! Ha,ha!! That JoJo Gaines on 'Fixer Upper' is a cutie! Appreciate the invite, Brudda! I'll have to get back up that way one of these days - I have to finish the trip!

    A trip to remember indeed! Actually, I'm already laughing - Ha! Life is all about attitude any way, right? I choose to have a good one - well, at least I try to most days. Sometimes things just happen. We just have to work with what we've got and continue to move forward. I think it'll all...

    You bet! And yeah, there was a FAIR amount of water, lol. It is kinda sad, but she'll live to see another day, and many more miles of riding ... ;)

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Yeah, I didn't think of that threat either. And get a load of this - the Embassy Suites, the hotel we changed to on Saturday, because the La Quinta was sold out on Saturday - they didn't flood! The Embassy was more expensive, like about $75 dollars more per night, but in the end, it would have...

    Flood water makes your bike dirty ... This frame slider and the right mirror stalk took the brunt of the fall. I'm not sure how much water was there when the bike fell, so maybe that slowed it down too. In any case, fortunately there was no physical body damage to speak of. Dirt...

    And the flood photos that you've been waiting for ... After a rainy day out and about, we decided to head in and call it an evening. After watching a little HG TV together in the room, the Missus passed out - who could blame her, you saw the lobster rolls - and I started fiddling around on the...

    After this the days start to run all together, so I'm just gonna post up the pictures, and narrate as we go ... Another slightly different shot from Sea Dog Brewing Co. Miscellaneous shots take while we were walking around near Old Port. The old buildings and cobblestone roads were...

    Day Four So Day four is upon us! This is the day that my wife would arrive in Portland via an 'Airbus', we would get a hotel room and a rental car, park the bike under a cover until my return trip home, and run all around Maine eating lobster! So, first order of business - Find food and a...

    These pictures so far have all been before it was flooded. There's more coming! And OF COURSE, pictures of the aftermath of rain of 'Biblical Proportions'! Ha, ha!! Thanks! Guys I work with have described my 'comedy' as relatively corny, and often ill timed. One described my comedic...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    No, it doesn't get pinched. There is enough wiggle room under there, and actually if you pop the seat off and look, there is kind of a drop in the little raise edge under the seat. You can fiddle around with the plug cord and route it so that it doesn't get pinched. I use that socket to...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Day Three The Day Three alarm came early, as - once again - I had arrived late and we then stayed up late working on the bike, drinking beer, and looking at GoPro footage from our trip to The Dragon a couple of weeks before. Well, it was a work day after all, so I bid my friends goodbye, and...

    Need a new gauge cluster for my 2011 FZ1

    Howdy all! Not sure if I'm posting this in the right area of the forum, so mods please move the thread if needed. My bike was recently flooded, and I need a new gauge cluster. Insurance is taking care of it, so really with this thread I am just reaching out to the community to see if...

    Second day Well, after a nice breakfast buffet at Shoney's in Lavonia, GA, I returned to the campsite. I had gotten up early, an hour earlier than normal for me - I was on Eastern Time now, so that I could go and get a good breakfast to set me up for another long day of riding. That first day...

    Thanks! Yeah, I picked one of the 'regular' 35' campsites. There were also 'deluxe' sites that I believe were a little larger. Mine was not a waterfront site (it was VERY close to the restrooms and showers though!), but many of them were. The campsites dotted the edge of the lake, all around...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    The first day I left directly from the fire station and rode from Houston to Tugaloo State Park in Georgia. It is very near the South Carolina state line. I arrived there very late and set up camp in the dark. I'm kinda used to doing it that way, sadly, so these shots are from the next...
