Threes a charm!

No one else fell into the river because I broke a path through the ice for them! The mighty F800GS almost made it across smashing through the ice, but her front wheel met her match in a thick wall of ice. My suit did a great job keeping me dry. Only my feet got wet.

I refer you to http://www.rideforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2040#p14586 Despite being the coldest I've ever been in my life during the last 3 hours of last years ride, (strong head wind with no windshield, dark, 25 degrees), I'm ready to go again. Have you ever noticed how many of us are eager to go...

...Was thinking after getting back last weekend that a handful of small hex screws that you could screw in to the nobs (but not though to the tube) would work if you got stuck somewhere. Not sure that they would stay in for long--curious if anyone has tried. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVMxmVM2F...

...I can put together a more colorful resume but Im looking to get with some riders who share the same love for bikes and so that we can help each other. Look forward to the getting to know you all and the ride. The #1 question before we can admit you.... Do you own a Harley? We only let Harley rid...

...I bought a Kanetsu from Aerostich. They get really good reviews, but the one thing they get criticized for is no plug ins in the sleeves. I'm sure it's a great product--Aerostich makes high quality stuff, but WHY in the world did they not build in heated glove plugs into the sleeves?! That reall...

ChrisCrash, me thinks Eddie read your post quickly and misunderstood that although your used KTM is new to you, you are not new to riding. Or maybe he knows you and you are a total noob. Maybe I'm the one without understanding. :) In any case, yeah, it's a 4 day ride with a lot of pavement but also ...

Same weekend as WUDI. The Hillbilly Dualsport is a perfect option for those asking if there would be dualsport routes at WUDI. While some guys were thinking to dualsport WUDI, the Hillbilly Dualsport is a guaranteed good time with proven routes.

Hi, Uncle Dave!

I just got back in town and after spending the last two weeks in mid 80's Caribbean weather, today's 30's seems really cold. So cold that walking from the parking lot to my office, I can't imagine riding a motorcycle. Is the plan still to leave at 10AM Friday and head East? The forecast high for Sa...

Today my new pair of heated gloves arrived, but I've discovered I forgot to check the "send long cables" box when I ordered them. Good news is the WarmnSafe folks will ship tomorrow - overnight. Chris, I have a set of those long cables that I don't use--the ones that you use to run up your jacket a...

I think it's plastic...but it might be glass. It was not obvious upon quick observation. Thanks, Eddie.

Update on first post Has everyone but Troy and Chris backed out? Not so fast there, Eddie. Fluffy's not doing so good--took a turn for the worse yesterday. Looking like a no-go for me. HAHAHAHAHA! :lol: Chris, are you still mad about that little creek crossing in AR?! I hope you aren't thinking "pa...

@#$%! BMW During a gravel road ride last May, a rock hit the headlight on my F800GS and cracked the plastic lens. It looks like a replaceable part. Turns out BMW only offers it as part of the entire headlight housing and they want $478.21 for it. Sheesh! No wonder people buy those protective headlig...

I've wanted to do this the last 2 years! IN! I know you said work schedule won't allow it, but come on, man! You gotta get that new machine out on the road! 8) Sounds good to me. I will put it on the calendar. Anybody can "put it on the calendar"! Time to ride! You coming or what? :) Stimmer?! :?: ...

I wish .....Have a bird delivery that weekend. So I am out ....gone to the birds.

Is it more birds than 4 or 5 of us can stuff in our luggage? We could deliver them on our way to the Miss.

I'm have a few ideas for Saturday night in a neat small town with limited accommodations and need to get somewhat of a head count AND if you want to share a room. Chris and I prefer our own room. What about the others? I'm fine with the expense of a solo room. I'm also fine sharing a bathroom with ...

Larry, are you coming with us?!

Does anyone want to meet for dinner one evening this week to do some pre ride planning? We could even invite folks that aren't gonna go, but want to see us before the effects of frostbite and repeated crashing on the ice. HA. That would be an option for people who actually prepped their bikes for t...

Looks ready for the Bald Eagle Ride this weekend.

Awesome.
