    Heres a pic of a Honda Varadero 1000. I wasn't familiar with the model. The ride from Prudhoe is quite a feat. I had a brother who worked part of the year in Coldfoot for several years, and he had some interesting stories.

    I like the setup. I'm not sure I'm up for the Iron Butt rides you make though. I presume this article is about you? (no Miles was the previous record holder) http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/608/3739/Motorcycle-Article/Yamaha-FJR-Sets-Continent-Crossing-Record.aspx http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum/showthread.php?t=36308

    I'm trying to get my mind to accept the fact that a human being can ride from Prudhoe Bay to Key West in 4 days... How many Dairy Queen stops is that? Probably don't want to be seen as encouraging people to pretend they are doing a movie style Cannonball Run etc.. I'll be curious to see what kind of seat mod (if any) you finally settle on for the RSTD. I have both an RSTD and an 00 RSV, and like the old style RSV seat with Butler mod, slightly better. And prefer the RSV stock seating postion slightly better. I have wondered about the solo seat available for the RSTD and would love to borrow one for a long ride some time, just to try out. Back to origonal post. Bob. looks like you're going to have good weather for your ride. Did you get a new front tire put on the RSV??? It was looking mightly thin after we got back from MD.

    I try to top at Fatz Cafe when driving thru Franklin,NC. Or any Fatz for that matter. A SC restaurant that has gone the franchise route and has several restaurants in this area.

    I looked this up and found: I just changed the plugs (and one COP coil) on my 2002 Escape V6. Yes, you have to remove the upper intake to get to the 3 plugs on the rear bank. It's not very difficult. The o-ring -like gasket set is about $10 from Autozone.

    You and Tom will enjoy the fresh veggies. I've given up on veggie as the deer and rodents eat them all. So I've switched to flowers with a bad taste to the critters.

    In general, major jobs aren't done at maintenance day. valve adjustments are viewed that way. I could bring my kit, but I recommend against it. think 1 hour jobs and a lot of socializing. PM me if you want me to bring a kit.

    need to go thru Columbus,OH. Dragonrider is leaving his GF there for the weekend. US 23 is tempting. I've never ridden it north of Asheville. It passes 30 miles east of where I live in Georgia and goes to Columbus,OH. 650mile trip. probably not the fastest route.
  17. RandyR
    Thanks for the insights. Has anyone ridden US23 from Georgia to Ohio? hows it?

    I've been using the STC 7317 filters. As this thread had warned me, there were no more STC filters. OK.so I grabbed a Fram xg7317.... wrong thing to do. The Fram xg7317 was enough longer that I couldn't get it started. Went back and got a 6017A. I didn't figure it would be worth trying to convince the return items clerk that the filter with scratches on it and dripping oil was really unused and could be returned...

    Probably Thurs AM from north GA. Will be riding up with Dragonslayer. We're going to talk about it this afternoon.

    Headed for Don's MD later this week. Normal route would be up I-75 between Knoxville and Lexington. However, I-75 is down to 1 lane both N&S just south of the KY line in TN (Jellico) because of a rock slide. TN DOt web site says it maybe Sept before its completely cleared. Must be massive. So, am looking for an altenate route. What are US 27 and 127 north out of Chattanooga like? Could take 127 all the way to I-71 south of Cinnci. Another route would be to go east and take US 23 thru Asheville NC all the way to Columbus,OH.

    um huh.... now we can wait to see what you trade it for....
