Dude's got a point

However, everybody knows that the cow bell is the international symbol for macho manliness.

Does that mutt wear the cute, blue ribbon when riding the gravel?

Never mind, I can do a mapquest.

You can't miss it. Coming from KC, first turnpike exit...turn left (South)...Burger King and gas station are right there.

We are normally a very tolerant group, but I think Chris Greenhoot's avatar choice has pushed the envelope on decency too far. It's time for our community to take a stand against such abominations! :wink: I apologize for posting the image below, but believe it or not, this is the avatar that Chris h...

Chris I won’t be able to make the whole ride this year, but I will likely meet you for lunch! Likewise, I won't be able to do the entire day, so Daryl, I'd like to ride the River Road to Atchison with you to meet up for lunch. The timing could be tricky, but we'll cross our fingers. BadCompany, i...

Below is a 2006 photo I took on a solo ride in Kansas of a unique, one-lane bridge. I came across this in the early evening, and the setting was just beautiful. Do you know where this is? Winners get a free life-time membership to RideForum.NET. (Uh, yeah..the site is free anyway.) Looking South: ht...

Thanks for the report, Larry! I always appreciate your ride reports and photos. This photo from your album looks like a cool road. http://lh5.google.com/image/rideklr/Rmt7K_biPhI/AAAAAAAAAVo/VYWLiurt_lY/IMG_1308.JPG?imgmax=512 I like this photo, too. It seems to capture a lot of what makes me go "ah...

Congrats!! Hey...don't grow TOO big a set on that GSXR1000!

Whoa! You rode the big GS through mud so deep & sticky you packed the front fender? You are getting confident on that bike! I guess that is bound to happen with all the miles you are putting on her. :) Glad you are OK...I got to imagine you'll be sore for a few days. I rode down to Altamont, KS one ...

Whoa! You opened the gate and went through the yard?! You got bigger balls than Kyle, Russ, & I! We did that same road, but gave up near the top of that short hill climb when we realized we were in someone's back yard! We figured our engines had already given us away and the shotguns were loaded. :s...

how come you're not slinging tires and predicting the weather in Hastings? Let it go, Tim...let it go. :lol: So Tim, was the blue DRZ I passed twice around Smithville today yours? And if so, you'd better stop to say HI next time I try to wave you down! (See the Head2Holt thread. http://www.rideforu...

So, Ian...when you gonna get your 2008 KLR650 anyway? I want to see it. You gonna let me ride it? I'll trade you a coveted ride on a DR350SE!

Daryl & I had a nice ride the long way around to Holt then back to the Northland. We met only 5 other riders at Dolly's in Holt. 4 of them had ridden all the way from Omaha, NE! They had heard about the little Holt ride, but were a little disapointed to find only 3 KC area guys show up! Daryl & I ca...

Lots of guys talk about riding mud--standing on the pegs and keeping speed up--but most guys I've seen aren't so confident in the slop. I enjoy the mud, but I wouldn't say I'm good at it. Joe is the only rider I've been with so far who does not slow down at all for the mud. He can RIDE! I remember b...

I did not expect the rain...must have missed that part of the forecast on Friday morning. Good chance I'll ride regardless. I NEED to ride. Today: Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 88. Light wind becoming south between 1...

A friend sent me this MSNBC article.

I plan to break away from the new baby long enough to ride to Holt, eat lunch, and ride back home. If you plan to Head2Holt, I'll see you there.

Troy is back!!! I got the bike back together and did a 6 mile test ride. Woohoo!

Ian gave me the special bolts I needed--THANKS, Ian! I've said it before, but I'll say it again. We've got a great community here.

If they have full threads, then YES! Thank you! Let me know where to come pick them up.

The stock bolts that came in my new fat bar adapters--the bolts that bolt the adapters to the triple clamp--are 8mm, 1.25 thread pitch, 20mm long button-heads. I want 40mm long button heads with full threads so that I can use most of the available threads in the triple clamp---now that the top 60% o...

Except for the tiny issue of the wrongly accused, man I wish we could simply cut the hands off thieves like they did in the good ole days. That would HAVE to be a major deterrent to small crime. Let's see, I could steal this motorcycle, strip the parts, and make a few hundred bucks. Oh, but if I'm c...
