    Minnesota to Arizona via Colorado and Utah - Grand Ride

    That looked like a great ride, thanks for sharing and for the pics. A few days ago I was watching this show about " Roads from Hell" and the Moki Dugway was listed (and so was the Million Dollar Highway, which is not that healish). That sure looks like a fin one. No problems with the gravel and...

    Two somewhat comical instances

    That is a great story! and yes, some people look at the FJR, with all its luggage and what nots, and have no idea of the power of the bike. On occasion I have enjoyed the power of the bike when someone sneaks up on you and just sits there. it does not take much to reduce them to a speck on the...

    The Wife's Opinion of the Natchez Trace

    I moved to Ridgeland (near Jackson) from California two years ago for a job, and the Trace is only a few hundred yards from my house. I have only done the hundred mile or so from here down to Natchez, and maybe another 30 or so miles north. The best part is the section along the Ross Barnett...

    Bayou Self

    Thanks for the tips and inspiration. I am at the time working in Mississippi (CA transplant) so I need some ideas of where to go and what to see. This looks like a good one. Thanks for sharing.

    Trip to Eastern Europe

    Great trip and photos! thanks for sharing and the inspiration. One of my dream trips is to do Portugal - Croatia, but not sure how to get my bike over there. Some day... Again, thanks for sharing your adventure.

    Big Sur... From the South

    You rode right through my "neck of the woods", Santa Barbara! (well, at least until I had to (temporarily move East of the Mississippi). It is a great ride, for sure. One of the things I miss the most about living there is the fact there are so many great places along the central coast for a...

    Unofficial Dam Tour - Western Oregon

    Great photos, in particular that crazy windy road! it reminds me of the descent to Zion National Park. Beautiful forest roads. I need to get back to the Pacific side of things. Thanks for sharing!

    First long trip (2 weeks) through national parks (with a blog)

    Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it. Meeting people is one of the best things about traveling. It was also fascinating to see how many people I met from California, specifically close to where I lived until recently (Santa Barbara). As for Petaluma, well, I lived near Santa Helena for several...

    First long trip (2 weeks) through national parks (with a blog)

    Unfortunately I did not make it to Mesa Verde. Before leaving Durango I thought about that, since the entrance to the park was only about 40 miles away. But judging from my experience at the other three parks, I knew I really would need a full day there and I just did not have the time. The...

    First long trip (2 weeks) through national parks (with a blog)

    Greetings all, I just finished a two week trip on my new 2006 FJR, which I bough less than two months ago. With the exception of a long weekend trip from Santa Barbara, CA, to Sacramento, CA, this was the longest trip for me, in terms of both time and distance: 2 weeks, 4,100 miles. It was a...
