Good one Pat.

Tosh,
Dang retired people cannot even keep track of what day it is anymore. ;)


I had forwarded some of the concerns from the Micapeak list to Bill, and he gave us the scoop.

Josh,
The margins for error are much less when lane splitting. A slight move by a vehicle and you have an accident. It may not be major (like getting rear ended) but the chances would be higher as...

Nope, no experience with those tires or those kind of bikes. Most of my bikes are sport oriented, with the standard 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 sizes. I'm sure some of the Vee Strom 650 and other...

Yes that last group includes many people who do not ride. When people I know find out I have a motorcycle the first thing I usually say to "what kind?" is "not a Harley".

Lots of V-Strommers in the club, mostly the 650 version (AKA Wee-Strom), I'm sure they'll chime in. Not sure how many MSTA members in the south central PA area, make sure to check your blue book when...

What he said

Tom,
Look forward to seeing you in Sparta. John Blackman and I plan to leave Thursday morning from NE Ohio, back roads all the way, overnight somewhere and be in Sparta Friday by 4-5. Might take 16...

These trips don't seem complete without a few "minor" mechanical adventures.

Pat does that mean you already have the time to do it? I too wish i had more skill and equipment, and of course time. But I'm not a tinkerer at heart, I'd rather be out riding than working on my...

A lot of things are messed up with IE 10, I went back to 9 minutes after the upgrade.

Ok, need to check out this 763. No doubt the roads close to the OH river are some of our best. There's even a route from Mail Pouch that does a bunch, we did them one year coming down, lunch in...

If you're not used to doing it, the first few times are unnerving. I remember being in LA with my brother before going to MotoGP in 2007. We were out for a shake-down ride on Pacific Coast Hwy along...

Great story Joe, very well written.

Tom,
I'm reminded of this phrase "are they friendly spirits" from my childhood. It was from Rocky & Bullwinkle show (I had to look that up, dang memory ain't...

Tim,
You will find that the MSTA is very inclusive of all brands, models, styles. Sport touring is our middle name (one of our mottos over the years) with an emphasis on sport. Full riding gear,...

Well technically it is an ale with some bourbon type flavoring (thru aging in the barrels). It is impossible for Bourbon to be beer/ale and vice versa. Does sound interesting though, I'll have to try...

I remember meeting you at STAR 03, somewhere on one of the rides (wanna say Highlands Scenic Hwy, WV150) while you were preparing to set up to take some action shots. Always good to have somebody...

Jim,

Interesting that you mentioned BRP putting people to sleep. At STAR 2011 in Jonhson City our group did a ride that included the BRP one day, think it was after leaving the rally heading to...

Any bike can be a sport touring bike. Sport bike, dual sport, adventure. Heck some people even do sport touring on scooters.

Very good pics.

I'd be shocked if it took Brick more than 2 days, if that. Last time I did a long stretch we overnighted in Staunton VA and picked up the BRP at the northern end, riding all the way to Asheville for...

Very cool, checked my email and I got that announcment. The first aid seminar is a great idea.

Brick,
Glad you were able to get to the bottom of this. Did sound strange that several people sent them and you received none. Hopefully you can track down the others who have rooms and make sure...

Greg would it be bettre in UM blue?

I like the color of Brick's SV, which I recall hearing from original owner Jim/Ginny Lapointe was a Mitsubish car color.

But then what do I know, every...

Fred,

Were those the only models affected? If so where did you find that? I just read the posted link about the recall and so no mention of a manufacture date, only thing I saw related to dates...

Tom,

Too many people turn their nose up at AMA racing as inferior and such. But I still enjoy it, and its the only road racing event I can attend and ride home from each day. That makes it more...

Glad to hear somebody stepped forward. Also glad I'm going to make Beth's last Tri-STAR as I haven't attended in a few years since Gary Christopher was putting it on.

See y'all in about a month.
