DL650 with 80K miles. Been running Battlewings for a while now. Good performance/durability balance. however, my wee is a "pavement princess" so it nevers leaves the asphalt for very long. I have a...

No problem. Need to talk to Nancy to nail down which day. Let's assume Saturday. I'm at Balsam Lake this weekend w/o cell service (at Tellico MC Outfitters right now). So it might be Sunday before I...

Phil, the muddy creek track is 14 miles from my house. How about a cookout here one night while you and friends are in town?

"Home" becomes the bike itself I think at some point. To do something like that you'd have to be completely free of family obligations and have significant financial resources. Not many young people...

OK, 40. Just remember you're STILL older than me...

Awesome! Oh to be 30 years younger...

+1 Riding the BRP requires a change in mindset. If you expect to run highway speeds and cover a lot of ground you're going to be VERY frustrated. Beautiful scenery, beautiful road but not a place the...

I saw the smiley... Just to be clear, as we all know water doesn't mix with gas so I don't think Sam's fuel additive scheme is going to work out very well. To work as an anti-knock agent it must be...

I see Doug and I were thinking along the same lines... Great minds ????

Leaded gas is illegal for highway use but not ethanol-free... at least not here. California and corn-growing states may be different. It's all about the money anyhow. As OldButNotDead points out,...

Had a little outing all on my own yesterday. I was actually searching for an unpaved way to get from Sneedville, TN to Louellen, KY and thereby connect to an excellent section of DS real estate...

Hey Mike. I feel for you but you'll have the advantage in August. It was mid-80's with sun all day yesterday and Tuesday here. I rode a bit over 200 miles on the DL650 Tuesday and about 175 miles...

Nice turn out... Eleven of us. Not bad for a weekday! Excellent weather and, as always, excellent BBQ at Woodlands.

I propose a RTE (Ride To Eat) rendezvous at Woodlands in Blowing Rock, NC on 4/10. Say 12:00 Noon? I'll post this in the Southern Appalachians social group too.

Oh yeah, it's a great day for dual sporting!

Forecast for Wytheville is 3" of snow tonight. Fortunantely the ground is not frozen and the high tomorrow is mid-50's. Even so early riding might be real interesting. :p

Do you have a GPS?

How about a BBQ rendezvous at Woodlands one day next week?

Mike, I live here and I will be around during that time. Probably won't ride every day but I would like to dust off the V-Strom. I'll PM you with my phone number

I'm leaving the 650 at home this time too. It'll be the trusty DR350 for me this weekend.
