Re: Are you riding this Labor Day weekend?

Yeah, no thanks--I'll avoid Perry on a holiday weekend. Avoid the lake for the same reason.

Are you riding this Labor Day weekend?

Pretty strange--for me at least--to be sitting here on the Thur before a 3 day Labor Day weekend with no riding plans. Stranger than that, I don't find any area ride events posted up for this weekend. I want to ride, but I really should do some work on the KTM 500 before hitting trails. My F800 has ...

Re: Total Eclipse Ride

So our little caravan of 3 cars and 10 people ended up at the Ag Power John Deere dealer in Marshall, MO--right on the center line of totality. They charged $20 per car for nice parking and had porta johns and a BBQ vendor. The kids loved playing on the combines, etc. The little town of 13,000 was p...

Re: TC to KC BBQ Run V

Troy, will you be able to get your brother to join us? I have not been able to make my brother do anything since I was 5 years old and he was 3.5. That was when I stopped being bigger and stronger than him! Looking at the event flyer, I was relived to see the fine-print at the bottom: Note: Images ...

Re: Total Eclipse Ride

I rode about 200 miles RT on the F800 yesterday while scouting. It was mostly a FAIL, but talked to a few folks here and there. In Dover, MO, a lady told me she has run across folks staying in nearby motels from California and Maryland. These folks were there for the eclipse, but still did not have ...

Re: Post pics or video from your ride today

In preparation for the apoceclipse, I set out on my motorcycle to scout possible eclipse viewing locations. I was looking for a spot that offered 2+ minutes of totality, parking for 3 cars--even if just roadside, and some kind of view to the horizon to see the "sunset colors" where the sun hits the ...

Re: Total Eclipse Ride

If I wasn't going to be with a full family crowd, I'd love to join you on the ride, Eddie! So one of the things my wife read yesterday said something to look forward to during the totality is a 360 degree "sunset". That is, as you look full circle to the horizon, you will see the colors of sunset. E...

Total Eclipse Ride

So I'll be heading a bit North and East with my family on Monday to get closer to the center of totality, where over 2 minutes of total eclipse can be viewed. Could make for a great dualsport idea, though! Pick a remote location along the epicenter, and plan a ride. Interactive map to see where the ...
