    CFR 2018 - WooHoo! Registration is going LIVE November 1st!

    Thanks for everyone advice. It’s gonna be fine for me. It’s Joey who it sucks for. I am camping in Sitton Colorado. Got a convenient spot for 20 bucks. Shower was clean. Good WiFi. I have no complaints. Talked to Mad Mudder. Gonna try to catch him in Montrose. Plan is fluid from there. 930...

    CFR 2018 - WooHoo! Registration is going LIVE November 1st!

    Joey has been fighting a bad back and he soldiered on despite the pain. He made it about 750 miles is my guess. We knew it was a long shot he would be able to make it. I feel really bad for him. He is hearing back home to get better. I truly feel that is the best decision. My prayers for healing...

    F150 Engine recommendations

    Maybe not what the OP is after, but since we mentioned other trucks... No love for the Honda Ridgeline? Mine is an 05 that I bought new. First one the dealer had. It has been bulletproof other than 2 things. The air conditioner compressor went out on the way home from Zillas last year. And...

    The Dunlop Roadsmart III compared to Michelin PR2/PR4GT Dilemma

    Well, I am ordering a set of RS3s. I have about 100 less miles than Joey does to meetup in Dodge City. We will be riding almost exactly the same type of miles to get there. The only difference after that will be riding in different halves of the lane the rest of the time. Joey typically...

    CFR 2018 - WooHoo! Registration is going LIVE November 1st!

    If you think he sounds excited via typed words, you should hear him over the phone. I am not sure if it is Joey or my 15 yr old daughter. on the other end. I would guess Joey to be more closely to a full lather at this point. I also would venture to guess I sound exactly the same as my 15 yr...

    SEO Ramble 2018

    Comms were no longer functioning. My sena went dead. Those are facts. The rest of what he spewed about my lead riding ability is not correct. Just Saying. Well, it is true that I went down a dead end road. Also true I had to take some gravel to get back on the regular route. And was also...

    Split: Off-topic About Tires and Thread Clicking

    John, Ray has it correct in that I have run through 2 sets of Ravens. Allen put me on to them and with the way he rides. They will always be good for me. I found truth in what Allen said about warming them up before blasting with them. Allen found out the hard way on a round about very close...

    Joey doesn’t have to buy Shinkos to try them out, I have a set on mine he could ride on Friday in North Georgia. It’s gonna be a fun time!

    Split: Off-topic About Tires and Thread Clicking

    Ray, I keep hearing those exact sentiments from folks in the past about the Shinkos. Not sure how long ago that was for you, but I believe one of two things about the new Shinkos, Either they are making a much better tire now, or I just don’t know what a good tire feels like. I haven’t had...

    Split: Off-topic About Tires and Thread Clicking

    I might be the biggest cheapskate/frugal//tight/chincy SOB on the forums. You need not look any further than my sidewalls-they say Shinko. Part of that is out of neccessity, I do have 4 children. Part of it is because of my upbringing, money doesnt grow on trees mama said this my whole...

    Garage Security..

    Forget the emergency aspect about it. My blonde wife can't figure the garage door release mechanism on its own. If you added a Zip Tie to it, she would be like the princess in the tower. One time she went home for lunch, put the car in the garage, power went out, opener rendered useless. She...

    Garage Security..

    Most doors are thin gauge aluminium or steel. Grabbing a door under the bottom and lifting with a significant force will often break the "trolley". I have had to get in to a house 2 times in different emergency situations. Both times it took me less than 3 seconds to yank up the door...

    GXM 40 ANTENA

    If I have an old one of them, what use or value is it? I got a 550 GPS a couple of years ago, and have never even taken it out. I do not have a XM subscription. Would this be a good "free parts thread" item?

    It's Saturday Morning, Slackers!

    Not that it was rideable weather here, but I took my oldest boy to a college entrance interview. Rarely have I ever seen this many nerds in one place at a time. Guess I should have figured considering it was for admission into an honors college that pays 100% of all college costs for 4 years...

    Looking for best route from Cape Mendocino to Reno, NV

    I was going to say this exact same thing about Alderpoint road. A few years ago, it was the most scared I have ever been on a motorcycle. By far the worst road I could ever think of to ride if one was trying to make time and was fatigued. At night, do not ever think about it. I would love to...
