Re: 1st Annual RideForum Enduro Skills Challenge!

I'm in! And when I say I'm in, I mean I'd enjoy coming over and hanging out. Would it be a kid friendly day? If so, maybe I could bring my boys bike over. Anywho, sounds like a fun day. There will be lots of nudity and cocaine, so probably not family friendly. Update: just talked to Kyle, and he sa...

Re: Long Distance Trip Planning

I'm late to the party, and probably have nothing to add--lots of great responses. I've not been able to do any truly "long" moto-road trips. Best I've been able to do are 3 day adventures either solo or with a small group. Like birdman, I've enjoyed both the solo and group thing. Obviously if you ri...

Re: Topeka bound

Could use some help after the 17th moving to the new place. My calendar for Mon, March 18 reads "Help Rick Move?" When you are ready, post up a day and time. Rick, my Google Reminder just went off to let me know it may be close to time to help you move. Are you ready to tell us a day, time, and add...

Nice to hear from you, David! The Hillbilly Dualsport is always a great event! Here is some RideForum.NET activity from years past. Usually, though, like David posted, the main discussions for this ride are over on BackroadsTouring.org. 2012: http://www.rideforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1384 2011: h...

Troy, is there a way I can download the application to this forum? Sure. Near the bottom of the form you use to post is an "attachment" section where you can upload a file to include in your post. NOTE that this is not the recommended way to share photos on RideForum. A few folks use the attachment...

Not even necessary, my friend. While my words were without a doubt too far to one side, I knew something had to be going on with you when I read your post. Sorry for your loss. Accept my apologies for not contacting you when it was clear you were upset.

Re: Liability insurance

Everything I own and even my person has the potential to hurt someone or damage property. What if I take off my belt and swing it around and the buckle hits someone in the eye? I had better buy belt liability coverage. I have a chainsaw. What if I lend that to a friend and he cuts his foot off with ...

Re: Liability insurance

For my Honda 230 dirt bike it costs $25 a year for liability. For the Yahama 450 ATV it is $32 a year. That is pretty cheap if I hurt someone. That is cheap, and it seems to "make sense" for peace of mind. Unfortunately, I don't get peace of mind because in the back of my mind, I seriously doubt th...

Of course your friend is not one of the "life-sucking attorneys" I referenced earlier. He's one of the good ones I'm sure. 8)

Re: Liability insurance

I was in the business for 19 years. Then you know that while the insurance companies aren't innocent angels, blame also lies with the life-sucking attorneys that have cultivated an entitlement society. (No offense to the life-sucking attorneys.) (It's OK if you preface your statement with "no offen...

Re: Liability insurance

No offense to those in the insurance business, but you are scum-sucking, rancid weasel bait. I have a true hatred for the industry. I simply DO NOT TRUST that they will be there when I need it. I've heard too many stories (and have one of my own) proving that the big insurance company is NOT your fr...
