    Heading to Groton, Ma

    Welcome to the land of "North and West of 495!" You'll hear that a lot when you listen to local snow storm forecasts as getting hit the hardest... We're about five minutes from the Groton town line. We'll check with the others about scheduling your NERDS initiation ceremony.

    Total Knee Replacement - my experience might help you

    Would love to know what the procedure is as it sounds promising. In the past their only option seemed to be "microfracture" -- essentially drilling microscopic holes into the bone to induce "bleeding," then keeping all weight off the knee long enough for scar tissue to form in place of the...

    Petey

    Just seeing this now and my heart is breaking. First time I met Petey was at the 2012 NERDs when he and Nosecone spent a few hours chatting with me on the bench outside the Commodores while everyone else was at the Tech Day event. Always looked forward to seeing him again at the next gathering...

    NERDS 5 - We're on a roll now!

    More like early bed time... We drove up and checked at 10 p.m. and found five FJRs and one Harley in the parking lot, but no NERDS anywhere...

    Northern New England RTE places

    In the "seasonal" category, I suggest adding Kimball's in Jaffrey and Westford (and possibly Lancaster). And not just for their ice cream, which is what so many people come from near and far to enjoy. While we haven't been there (yet) this year to do some quality control, they have fried...

    FJRForum Official 2017 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    And I bet is he going to have quite the stories to tell when he gets back home... I wonder how many more of his countrymen (or women) will now try for a spot in future rallies. Thanks for the updates and I'm so glad to hear everyone else made it in safely!

    FJRForum Official 2017 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    It did update once after you posted, but I just checked and it still matches a screenshot I took almost an hour ago. Huge lags between spot page updates are going to make it even more of a nail biter for us virtual spectators!

    I noticed the same lack of movement on the group page and came here to see if there was any news of a Spotwalla issue.

    One seems to be napping at a hotel here in town. If they plan to continue their push north, I hope they check out and get back on the road before the 4th of July beach traffic starts clogging up I-495N.

    Truly amazing, and I hope he continues to do well! And although second to last, the Burgman is still hanging in!

    (Possibly) MC Related Vascular Condition

    Just found this thread, and glad to hear all is going well. The other half had issues with calf pain several years ago that he ignored thinking it was just a pulled or strained muscle. About a week later he scheduled an urgent visit with his doctor's office because he was having trouble...

    NERDS 5 - We're on a roll now!

    And is it not "great" to see the rest of us on the list???? We thought it was great to see you finally decided to join the early contingent!

    Crunched by a Semi

    Trick is to ride THROUGH the blind spots as quickly and safely as possible. Sit in them, and you're a sitting duck just waiting to get crunched.

    NERDS 5 - We're on a roll now!

    We haven't missed one yet! We'll be in the early bird group again as Paul had the winning bid for the full week. And as last year, we left the king room on the table and went with two queens with the hope that our son and daughter-in-law might ride up and join us for a few days.

    NERDS 5 - We're on a roll now!

    As of an hour ago there was still a king room left up for grabs.
