Ultimate Fuel Log
Saturday, October 16th, 2004Kentucky Trip
Friday, October 15th, 2004Well we got back from our trip to Monticello and Louisville KY at 2000 hours today.. That is 8:00 pm if you do not know the 24 hour time format. 
My wife has relatives in both places and we went visiting.
The route taken was I-26 to Hendersonville N.C. (to make time) and spend the night. Vickie had worked half day and did not feel like doing the entire trip Friday night. We left H’ville 0830 Saturday morning, headed for Monticello KY. We took I-26 to Asheville and picked up N.C. 19 to U.S. 70 and rode 70 to Newport TN to avoid the I-40 road construction between Asheville and Knoxville TN. We picked up I-40 in Newport TN. to I-75 in Knoxville. We then got off the interstate (I HATE THE INTERSTATE!) and took…
FZ6 as a sport tourer
Tuesday, October 12th, 2004This is my FZ6. I bought it in March of 2004. I use it for two-up sport-touring and light commuting. With the 52 Litre GIVI top case and 25 litre tank bag, I can pack for two for four days. I can pack more if I can convince my wife to leave her travel hair dryer at home. If we were doing a longer trip, sight seeing and searching for good roads, I could pack more by leaving the two pair of tennis shoes at home. On a trip geared toward riding, I will wear only my Gortex boots. Tennis shoes consume a considerable amount of space.
The bike is equipped with an Autocomm rider to passenger intercomm. I find it very useful. I know some guys prefer not to hear their wives when they are riding, something about they have to listen to them every day at home, or something like that. Be that as it may, I find an intercomm very useful. I enjoy conversing while riding and my wife’s job is to be the navigator. I leave it to her to tell me the route.
Other items I plan to add to the bike are a GPS and XM radio.
