Re: Sunday's Ride east of Andover, KS

Looks like you got a little sideways there! HAhAhAA! (your sideways photo) :-D

I checked out your track. You rode 1 mile East of the farm I grew up on: 240 acres on S side of 29th street 1 mile N of the Andover turnpike exchange.

Re: Sat Sep 2, 2017 | Osage County Dualsport

Rode the Osage County loop again yesterday. It did not disappoint! I made a few tiny tweaks to the GPX for those that want the latest.

Re: Fall Bird Farm trail ride Oct. 27

What a fantastic ride day with family & friends and making new friends! Larry & Dena are so generous with their time, talent, & treasure! Maybe some of you have good riding options nearby, but I do not take it for granted to be able to enjoy over 5 miles of woods trails and open land to ride on and ...

Re: Fall Bird Farm trail ride Oct. 27

Thanks, Larry!

My friend Dan & his daughter plan to attend, but I think they can only come Saturday. Rachel & I can come whether Saturday or Sunday, but hoping Saturday works, of course.

Pray for lots of drying sunshine and wind today!

"I'm the baddest mutha up in here". I think the soundtrack is my life's theme song. 8-) :-D BEAUTIFUL country. Reality is...hard for a regular guy to make a $5,000 moto-trip work. Plane tickets, bike shipping (or rental), logistics....but what a great place to ride! Luc has shown me some of his ride...

Re: Fall Bird Farm trail ride Oct. 27

Those "mattress trails" look wild! Will be interesting to "float" on those! However, if you want them cleared off the trail, I think my big 300 2-stroke can roost that trail clean! (Thanks to savage for bringing her back to life!) Assuming all stays dry enough, still planning to bring my daughter, R...

Re: The KLR is dead

Thanks for sharing, Creekside! As it has been for so many, the KLR650 was my gateway drug. I grew up riding motorcycles--had a 50cc and a couple old 100cc "enduros" on the farm, but had never seen or even heard of "off-road" riding. I had no idea that people rode motorcycles in the forest. After a 5...

THANKS to Luc & family for hosting the ride day at their home! Mother Nature did not cooperate, but Luc is stubborn and refused to cancel.
