Re: RideForum.NET rides off into the sunset

There has been a rumor going around that RideForum.NET is shutting down so I can focus more on my quilting passion.

DON'T JUDGE ME! YOU DON'T KNOW ME!

Of course these rumors are baseless. :lol:

Re: RideForum.NET rides off into the sunset

Rich! A blast from the past! Miss you, man! They ride motorcycles in Iowa?! Side note: Of the 305 folks I sent the email notice to, 59 already bounced back undeliverable. Lots of COX and RoadRunner emails that folks don't use anymore it appears. I made a best effort! When "rideforum.net" shuts down,...

Re: Fall bird farm trail ride

The only riders to show up yesterday at the bird farm were myself and my 8.5 year old nephew, Ben. Ben has been riding for about 2 years now, and raced his 1st motocross the previous Sunday. He had never been trail riding in the woods, and was choming at the bit! As the only riders there, Larry guid...

Re: Fall bird farm trail ride

I plan to be there on the 15th and bringing my 8 year old nephew who asks me every week, "Deda, when are you going to take me trail riding?" We had planned to ride the bird farm last fall but the event got rained out. Little Ben was super-bummed. I might also come ride on the 22nd, and am glad to ha...

Re: FOR SALE: 2011 BMW F800GS

Had 1 serious interest out of Midland, TX, but it has dried up. Guess I'll just keep it..and considering how much I enjoy riding it, not a bad deal. :-)

Re: FOR SALE: 2011 BMW F800GS

That seems like a great price for such a machine. Anything special involved for oil changes or maintenance? How much does it weigh roughly? MPG? I think it's a good deal for somebody. The F800GS bikes for sale that are 2009-2014 or so seem to go around $6K, but are usually much cleaner than mine an...
