+1 for the cycling shorts. I also went to Ikea and got a little sheepskin for $30 bucks, cut a chunk to fit the seat, and used double-sided tape to hold it in place. Cheap and cheerful and you can get at least 2 "seat pads" out of one of those sheepskins. Good luck!

Yeah... good bump! I lost both of the bolts that hold down the front of the gas tank, when I did my long trip a couple of months ago. Didn't even notice until I started hearing a strange rattle every time I went over a bump. It was, of course, my tank bouncing up and down... Needless to say...

Isn't that the reason for bringing the "lube"? :justkidding:

Welcome to the site! :cheer: Great to see another gal out there! Can't say I've ever had the heat problem, which is interesting because I'm the same height (5'8"). In fact, I'm normally using the engine heat to warm up my hands when I'm stopped at a light - lol

We love you man!!! *drunken slur*

I used a set of Motopak saddlebags and tailbag on a recent 2-week trip. I have nothing but good things to say about them... very durable, expandable, lots of attachment options, etc. This is how they look on the bike (keep in mind this is with the saddlebags almost fully expanded...) Cheers!

Didn't you know that's how all Canadian girls dress? :p

I'm also missing two of the bolts on my mirrors... the best part is that they CHARGE YOU MONEY for PDI... I would like my $250 back, thank you, a$$hats.

Saw a guy in Kamloops last summer on a cruiser... shorts and NO SHIRT... that should be illegal... eewwww.... man boobs.... :( He was wearing a salad-bowl helmet though! Safety first!

12000 km round trip, eh? Heck Alex, you could knock that out in a long weekend... :rockon: Might I suggest a "comfort seat" and a throttle lock? Wow...

How do I get an "infraction"? I want to feel like one of the edgy, bad kids... I think it would be good for my image...:rockon:

You know... I once lost a contact on the first day of a three-day sailing trip, and just wore the one lens for the rest of the weekend. By the beginning of the second day, my eyes/brain had somehow adjusted and I could see perfectly... (unless I covered up my "good" eye, of course). So I say -...

Does that mean I have to get hot guys in speedos to wash my bike? Wait.... that's not sexy at all... :(

Speaking of which, OneTrack, when are you going to come screaming past the hangar so I can hear those things in action? :D (OT I know - sorry)

Re: Milage Contest! Yeah wait a minute... we need to make this contest retroactive to last month!!! :( I've put on 6000 km in the last 25 days! I'm pretty sure Yukon Alex would be a very close second... :thumbup: Oh well... time to start planning the next trip.... victory WILL be...
