  1. Underground condos, as my grandfather used to call them, where all of the neighbors are quiet.
  2. Shapes is a hard one, as manufacturers and users don't always agree. Try them on. Any brand name will be adequate. What's important to you? For me, fit, venting, lack of fogging. Cheaper shields isn't bad either, as I don't adhere to the made up 5 year rule.
  3. I was Shoei for decades, but with the huge price increases, I moved to HJC a few years ago. HJC was at the time <1/2 the price. Quality is good/adequate. They are much lighter than my Shoeis were. Venting is good. The only negative I've seen is with the shield, which is not as crystal clear and which does not like to stay open a tiny amount for air flow. I liked my HJC enough to buy another for track duty and a third for dual sport use.
  4. until

    Any special plans to see any sights or ride specific roads? Just the usual 28, Wayah, 129, 143/165, 68, 30/315? What are folks bringing for non-VFRs? I'm trying to decide if I want the little 400 or just both VFRs.
  5. Some boring video from the ride. I was way off of my A game! Temps were cool, down to 47 and wet for a bit! Had two buddies with me, so looking in the mirrors quite a bit and slowing so I could see both of them back there. Really fun easy day getting just over 200 miles in.
  6. Nice! I still have some FJ ABS parts for sale. Seems like there are far fewer out there these days.
  7. Go high and be patient. Let us know how it goes!
  8. That makes me uncomfortable in my chair every time...
  9. I treasure mine! Like many on the list, there's still nothing to replace it with that is better. Certainly not $10k better! 🙂
  10. Rolling from Goodwill on Bost Rd. in Morganton by 10. Nice easy day. Anyone?
  11. What he said. I don't precisely understand your note. Pricing is determined by market, not a book or online pricing site. None of those have been even close in a decade or two.
  12. Indistinguishable from new pants and jacket set. Best venting in the market; drilled not punched holes, so they don't close back up, ever. These babies flow air! Pants fit a 6/8 or medium. Top fits a bust size 36 with some room, so 38 would also be fine. They zip together in the back. Pants are size 12 with two zippered generous front pockets and one generous snap closure rear pocket. Heavy duty belt loop waist. Soft armor in hips and knees. (No Velcro or knee pucks.) I can't confirm, but they look similar to SportRider model, retail $639 or Traveler model, retail $639. Mk2 SportRider Black Competition Weight Perforated Leather Motorcycle Pants Mk2 SportRider Pants are practical- protective and good looking. Made from tough perforated full-grain cowhide- they are designed to zip to our SportRider -Styles CSR2 COB2 CAV2 etc.- series of jackets using our exclusive three-way connector system www.vansonleathers.com Jacket is a size 10 with reflective piping and Vanson arm patches. Multiple pockets and rear storage area. Adjustable waist. Trademark credit card/cash pocket in zipper flap. Internal panels in front can be zipped closed in cooler weather. Soft armor in shoulders. Hard armor in elbows/forearms. (I can't confirm, but it looks similar to the Full Throttle model, retail $769) Ladies Full Throttle Motorcycle Jacket - Perforated Black Leather Ladies Drifter Jacket The ladies Full Throttle Jacket use our Air Curtain Vent System in the perforated leather front panels. Behind these panels are water and air proof nylon curtains you can unzip and rolled down and with two exit vents create air flow through the jacket. www.vansonleathers.com This is incredibly versatile gear. Nobody, but nobody builds gear like Vanson. I've been to their warehouse/manufacturing facility a few times and ride in only their leathers. Both pieces have their trademark serial numbers. I'm happy to field any questions or e-mail full sized photos. Selling as a set. Asking $800 and open to all reasonable offers. Will leave here for a few days before posting on F-book.I'd much rather they go to a member! Optional items may be available from Vanson such as panels to zip together on both sides of the front, and a snap-in vest/liner for the jacket.
