scsi says: @tsr I spent the last two weeks in the bay area, watching in envy as cyclists rode past. My bike is back in Texas. But youre right, this weather is fantastic!
tsr says: sorry to pour salt in a wound, scsi, djrussell and others, but Audible, a friend of his and I rode another 280 mile loop today up into the "local" mountains. Weather was nice at mid 80's in the mountains and low 90's along the short freeway section joining the two mountain sections. Great ride!!
djrussell says: lol @ your ride envy scsi. i'm a commuter too with a couple weekend rides/year.
Rico says: Looking to assist a friend in maybe buying an 07 with 1800m on the odometer. However, during a test ride the bike was VERY low on fuel and started to die so I turned around and headed back. When the owner put more fuel in the bile was still stumbling. I read that this bike has FI, but it also has a choke? not sure this makes sense. Don't want to recommend this bike if problems with fuel system. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.
tsr says: Just installed a Vista-Cruise throttle lock (cruise control). Had to saw off the tab on the bottom and dremel the edge so that it would work properly. I also used a set screw to hold it (in lieu of the tab). It works great!
tsr says: might depend on how far away the grocery store is ...
scsi says: I rode to the grocery and back this weekend... and I'll ride to the office and back tomorrow! ... my rides aren't as fun as tsr's.
tsr says: Just got back from a 150 mile ride this morning. Rode out of Temecula past Warner Springs and down S-22 into Borrego Springs (low desert), then blasted along a long straightaway (131 mph on GPS) before swinging into Julian (mountain town). Hit my favorite bakery (Dudleys in Santa Ysabel) and headed home along the base of Palomar Mountain. Awesome morning!!
