Ran across an interesting article about why car drivers may not "see" bikes in certain situations. I have certainly been in situations where motorcycles just "appeared" out of nowhere. I found the description of how our eyes/brain work together to be very informative... http://www.popularmechanics.c...

James, Was it a Kenda Equilibrium that failed you? Rick Looks like James may not have seen this question, Rick. It was actually the Motoz Mountain Hybrid. Split right along the rim at several spots. The good news is, they are sending him a new replacement. We thought maybe it was due to the low pre...

Chadwick and "easy" do not belong in same conversation. Chadwick eats dirt bikes for lunch. 8) So true! However, James and I did make it out without getting stuck on any trails due to either mechanical or rider failure. Chadwick is proving to be a good litmus test for my overall riding ability. Jam...

Absolutely! Looking fowrard to riding with you.

I wouldn't consider James and I "hard" riders, and we're not going down there looking for the gnarly stuff. But, we haven't been down there enough to know how to avoid all of the more difficult areas. We generally try to make sure there's an escape route before we get into something we can't get out...

Looking forward to riding with you guys. I believe James does have your (Ryno) contact info, so we'll send you a text once we have an ETA.

Not sure which bike Ryno is bringing, but if it's the Husky, we'll outnumber the KTM 3:1. How often does that happen?

James and I will be heading down early Saturday morning, hoping to be at the pavilion by 11. We decided against camping this time around, but still plan on riding both Saturday and Sunday.

We'll be in a white Honda CR-V pulling a Harbor Frieght trailer.

I have a co-worker visiting from Bangalore, India, and we're trying to arrange a short ride from my office (Cerner @ Legends) in & around the Leavenworth area this coming Thursday due to the great weather forecast. I could use some advice on where we should ride. He's not used to highways, so I'm tr...

Forecast temps are looking good for SAT/SUN, although there's rain chances throughout the weekend. Assuming we don't get washed out, James and I are planning on heading down early Saturday morning and camping Saturday night. We may have room for up to 4, assuming my truck is out of the shop by the e...

Thanks for posting this deal! I ended up finding a similar price at Motorcycle Closeouts, so I went ahead and ordered locally. I've been on the fence for a while, trying not to think about how easy it would be to get seriously hurt by landing the wrong way. The price on this model convinced me it wa...

Thanks to a re-scheduled work event, I had to bow out of the ride in NWA this weekend. Weather permitting, I'd be interested in getting my Winter-NWA fix, and the 11th-13th works out well, as I took the entire week off. Keep me posted as the date gets nearer and we know what the weather looks like. ...

Is this group of guys on this thread the group that ended up in Chadwick on Saturday? A friend of mine (Rob Thrope - was riding a Yamahammer and his step son was on his KTM 500) said he met a group of local guys (local to me anyway), one of which rides a Berg 570 like my 2011 and he also indicated ...

Welcome to the Husky owners club, population 2 (that I'm aware of). Just took the TE511 down to Chadwick for the first time on Saturday. In the short time I've had it, I've been really impressed with the quality.

I need to get a ride in. What sort of ride is this Trail anyway? Assuming big bikes? And would it make sense to just head down Friday evening, have a few beers that night and ride on Saturday? I haven't been to Glade Top, but we'll be on smaller bikes (500exc, Te511, FE570). From what Randy has tol...

I'd like to be IN, but have family obligations down in the wonderful Wichita metroplis....or the armpit of Satan as I like to call it. :lol: That seems to be a pretty popular view of Wichita! :lol: I'd have to agree with your assessment- I try to limit my exposure to that place to the bare minimum....

Randy, James, and I are planning on getting an early start Friday morning and riding Glade Top for a couple of days. Going to be a bit chilly overnight (for camping), so we'll drive into Branson Friday night and find a cheap lodging. Early start on Saturday, and get as much riding in as possible bef...

Looking forward to having Joe's KC BBQ for the first time in a long time. My "inventory" is currently stowed away for the winter in a friends barn, or I'd gear up and ride the VStrom out.

Looking like James and I will be able to head down there Saturday morning, camping Saturday night. Not sure which vehicle we'll be in, but I'll let you know once we get that figured out. Well, I guess I spoke too soon. Work schedules and prior commitments have rendered this weekend "out" for riding...

The driver has been arrested... http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/local/2015/10/19/driver-in-viral-video-wreck-wreck-charged-with-assault/74240788/ Sadly, I've read too many comments justifying this driver's actions since the motorcycle was passing on a double yellow. Apparently, vigilante "justice" is...
