I'll ride the husky to Marquette, if it's more gravel than pavement. 2 days would make that easier. I'd take the GS if I can find some knobbier tires between now and then. Not sure I can get it through something like that crossing we did with the missing bridge on the way back from white cloud. The...

Are you thinking of leaving Saturday morning despite the chosen route? Which direction is most likely? When you say "trail ride" where are you thinking? I am interested, but I need to check on some other plans. If I go, I would prefer to camp. I have a ton of rides planned this year and the cheaper...

My wife and daughter are visiting family up in IL this Thur - Sun, so I have the weekend wide open for a moto adventure. So what to do? Dualsport on the F800? Trail ride the 450EXC? Road ride Sat then trail ride Sun? Overnight dualsport adventure? Motel or camp? I checked the weather forecast for th...

Quick follow-up. 10 riders, over 240 miles round trip for me. Tons of great, rugged roads! My raw photos and a video:

Foster, your profile says "Leavenworth". I had been assuming you were "Foster" that lives up N of the Liberty, MO area, but I now realize his username is "f-five" for Foster 5...3 kids + wife makes 5 or something like that. I helped my brother, KC, buy a KTM 400 from him. So we haven't met have we? ...

Foster, that was me posting up some KC-local tracks. Katbeanz, I totally agree--the MVUMs are basically unusable as they come from the USFS. You can't make heads or tails out of them. Dualsportmaps.com allows you to just select to show the MVUM overlayed on the Google map. VERY NICE! You can create ...

Yes it should! Wind gusts in the forecast, but we can hang. I'm eating a big breakfast at Bob Evans right now. I got to fuel up!

A ride has materialized in the last few days. Details are in this AdvRider thread:

Meet at 10 AM at The Cafe, 1102 N. 2nd Street Leavenworth KS (Check AdvRider thread for latest info.)

I plan to ride along on this one.

Camping in Sedalia, MO late July?! Yikes. Sounds like a better time to hit the mountains or head North!

Thanks to Eddie, I've participated in this training twice now. It is very good and helped me understand a lot more about what is possible on a motorcycle. I'm definitely a better rider today because of it.

Great BBQ last year, too. I HIGHLY recommend this training opportunity.

I definitely plan to attend. I'd love to hear the stories these guys have to tell. Thanks for setting this up!

A friend who lives very close to Jeeps sent me this last night:

In the movie, Dilemma starring Kevin James and Vince Vaughn , the two portray a couple of guys with a startup company pitching their engine sound generation technology to the big car makers for use in their electric muscle cars. The movie is terrible--boring, terrible acting, rarely funny. [youtube...

And that is going to be the primary downside to the electric car...missing that sound! Love it!

First of all, Dave Hodges?! WHERE has that guy been?! I miss having him on our Arkansas rides. It would be cool to see him. I can't do 1:00 Sat, Jan 28. I have a 4PM commitment this Sat, which means I'd need to be home by 3:00 to cleanup. Bender's is about an hour away for me so I'd have to be loade...

I'm pretty sure it's a DR350. He said 2-stroke to throw us off the trail. Serious enthusiasts understand the DR350 was and is one of the baddest motorcycles ever created. Guys who own them (or ever did) are worthy of the highest respect. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bKIOLPSXU84/TvHTDcSBi7I/AAA...

I corrected and improved the route per Stu's details.

EXCELLENT IDEA! I've used the delicate process of wedging a flat-head screw-driver under the nut with one hand while putting the bolt in with the other hand. It's a frustrating balancing act. Silicone rubber is perfect. Will hold up to the heat, holds the nut perfectly for starting the bolt, and as ...

Eddie, I somehow doubt you are the demographic being targeted by the Nuclear Cowboyz.

I'm just blown away by the stunts. I can do without the music, lasers, dancing, and pyrotechnics.

Anyone planning to attend the Nuclear Cowboyz show this Sat night? (Jan 21, 2012)
