Wow. That is a really tame video that most any Harley Guy would think is funny. They run a tight ship over on that BMW forum I guess.

Re: My KS DMV experience.....

Generally, it is much easier to tag a brand new motorcycle than a used one--primarily because of the lack of inspection, and thus no chance for an ignorant safety inspector to get in the way. (I don't mean that as an insult, but literally "ignorant" of the state laws.) RE: http://dor.mo.gov/motorv/h...

REMINDER! THIS coming Monday. Ride your motorcycle to work or you are a big, stinky, slimy piece of weasel bait.

Re: June 15-17

As a reminder, I don't share motel rooms. Dude, let it go! So I misread your signals ONE TIME. Look, it was uncomfortable for me, too. I didn't want you to be offended, so I just did what I thought you wanted. If that makes me gay, then so be it. You don't have to be scared to share a hotel room fo...

Sat Jun 16: Guy & Mae's Tavern BBQ

The 2 wheel dudes I work with are meeting at our office this Sat morning at 10 AM to ride down to Williamsburg, KS for the world-famous ribs at Guy & Mae's. http://www.yelp.com/biz/guy-and-maes-tavern-williamsburg http://www.kansassampler.org/8wonders/cuisine.php?id=16 I've never been, but the hype ...

Re: GPS Help

I'm going to take a stab at this. What you describe sounds to me like you loaded an auto-routing route (neither a track nor a "point for every turn" route) onto a device without a map set that supports auto-routing. When Eddie asked "What maps did you get", he did not mean what dualsportmaps.com "ma...

Re: Out of the Wild: Venezuela

I just finished up the Alaska episodes, too. Yeah, the common denominator in both experiences comes down to food. When they found something to eat, they were doing great. When they went a couple days without food, life sucked. I just found another Discover series I'm watching on Netflix called Dual ...

Re: Randolph June 10th

I'm out. I'm nursing a bruised spleen and cracked rib as well as the serious abdominal bruising you can imagine would go with an event that causes those injuries. 8)

While riding my KTM 450, I played chicken with a branch sticking up off the side of the trail. The log won.

Re: Things to think about when riding, old info. TARKC topic

Thanks for posting this. First, statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. "Over 80 percent of the fatalities occur off roadway" Does this mean off-road motorcycle riding, or simply that the person was killed "off roadway". The latter seems kind of d...

Out of the Wild: Venezuela

I rose early on Sunday, as I do every day--easily 2 or 3 hours before the rest of my family. Sat & Sun mornings are my time to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch a movie--if I'm not out riding. So this Sun, I ended up glued to the TV for about 4 hours watching all 8 episodes of the Discovery Channel's ...

I'll be turning 70 later this year... Yuck. Who let this crusty old dude in the forum? I hope he doesn't show up on any rides because he'll just slow us down. HAHAHAHA! Chris, it's good to hear from you, and yeah, keep riding! I liked that video a lot. The message for me (at almost 41) is to get in...
