    2017 SEO Ramble, May 5-7

    Well, I waited until today to make the decision and unfortunately I'm going to bow out for this shindig. With the current weather situation both up here and down there for the next 4 days, I think it's the right one for me. Was looking forward to seeing everyone and RIDING...but not in the...

    So long

    Based on the same reasons for Bob's departure from this forum, I will be moving on as well. It's been fun for the last 3 years. See you on the other side.

    Fall Colors / Burger Challenge RTE Weekend

    A great 30 hours of fun! Thanks to KJ for pulling this together! Company, riding and food were great, as always. Broke away from KJ/Debbie, Jon and Dean with Charlie to make our way into Canada. Got whacked with rain at one point but made our way through - nice thing is it stayed around 72F...

    Fall Colors / Burger Challenge RTE Weekend

    If you want to stay overnight in Ellicottville, there IS a more economical choice. The Edelweiss Ski Lodge has chalets and a hotel. If you go through booking.com, you can get a room starting at $109 US with a free cancellation policy if you cancel by October 13th. It's stumbling distance to...

    Fall Colors / Burger Challenge RTE Weekend

    I'm in for Saturday if I'm able to snag the pull out couch KJ. On a semi retirement budget yaknow. :) I have a commitment during the day but should be able to be down at EVL by 6pm. If not, I'll do a day trip on Sunday. Let me know.

    EOM 2016 - Wytheville Virginia on September 22-25, 2016 - Ramada Inn

    Unfortunately I had to cancel on EOM due to a work commitment that I couldn't get out of. I still was able to take a couple of days to ride down to Fairmont WV on Wednesday and then headed back home on Thursday. Met up with KJ, Debbie and Rick at CHEF 117 in Bradford. What a gem. Upscale...

    EOM 2016 - Wytheville Virginia on September 22-25, 2016 - Ramada Inn

    Well, the proverbial wrench has been thrown into my plans for EOM. Unfortunately I need to be back for the weekend for a business commitment that I cannot get out of. I did order a shirt and perhaps Madmudder can pick that up for me in my absence. In exchange Tim, I will give you my banquet...

    NERDS 2016 "Daks and-over gang"

    Thanks KJ & Debbie for starting this adventure off on the right foot. Dinner, bonfire, company and accommodations were great. Going for a shower the next morning only to find that everyone else used up all the water, not so great! Is that why you made me ride in the back?! :)

    NERDS IV - B2B (back to basics) - Stowe, VT 8/18-21/2016

    Left Stowe at 8am and arrived home at 7:30 tonight. Thank goodness for Nexus, the traffic at the border coming back into Canada was brutal! Got a good 3 hours or so of power washing the bike on the I-90. :) What a great 5 days of riding and hanging out with great people! Thanks to Allen...

    NERDS IV - B2B (back to basics) - Stowe, VT 8/18-21/2016

    Hey Jon, that was me. I can tell you that I would certainly be taking advantage of it after a day of riding.

    NERDS 2016 "Daks and-over gang"

    Going to be a couple more for Wednesday night KJ. Huey Lewis and his friend Larry will be coming up as well. Knowing Charlie, he can curl up beside a tree in the backyard. He's done it before. :)

    CFR 2016 Home Safe Thread

    Like Mike (wnyfjr) said. :) As much as we got a bit tied up in traffic around Toronto, it was an interesting comparison to come from beautiful lakes, trees and open spaces into the hustle and bustle of society, traffic, tall iconic buildings like the Rogers Center and the CN Tower all within...

    Counteract balancing beads?

    I have always used weights on my rims, never had any experience with the beads. I saw the Counteract Balancing Beads at the motorcycle show in Toronto and thought they were pretty slick. I just put on new PR4's and used the beads, 1ounce in front and 2 ounces in the rear as recommended. Took...

    WNY Tech Day III, Saturday June 4, 2016

    Had an AWESOME day at Mike and Laura's! Headed home with the rain on my tail. Great to see old friends and meet new ones. RayZerman Ray, you are a freak of nature in the most amazing way. I always learn soooo much from you every time we have these events, even if I'm just standing and pointing...
