    Crossroads...

    Thanks guys.  Guess the first thing I need to do is get that mystery fluid siphoned out of the tank, and take a more thorough look.

    Crossroads...

    You should, I was following you in Colorado coming off a mountain when you crossed the center line, almost ran into a truck coming the other way, and laid your bike down in the dirt/weeds.  😄

    Crossroads...

    Not sure if anyone remembers me... I was a pretty active member back when this board got started, but according to my account, it looks like my last post was in 2011, so almost 9 years ago.  Lots of memories poking around in some of the areas here... the national meetings, regional meetings...

    Is a radar detector really worth it?

    My personal experience is that my V1 has saved me from at least a dozen potential tickets over the last 5 years, especially on long cross country trips.

    NERDS '11 is On-Line!

    Got my shirt and sticker ordered yesterday... looking forward to this very much. Got to get my planning done on how many days to take to get up there... and back. Direct route, side excursions, curvy roads along the way... decisions, decisions, decisions.

    Top 15 Motorcycle roads in US

    Kind of surprised that the River Road (FM 170) between Presidio and Terlingua near Big Bend didn't make at least the Honorable Mention... I'd swap that with the Natchez Trace in a heartbeat and never look back.

    Heading back to Big Bend

    I've got a bunch of those same pics... including the basin, the canyon, and others, but the FJR in my pics is blue... :D
