    Toll Road payments advise please.

    Trying to get from the north end of Miami to the south, after dark, with no clue as to which roads go where and after following one freeway which just ended and dumped us into a neighborhood, I just wanted to get the fuck out of the city and find a motel. Which we did. I was going 80 and was...

    Toll Road payments advise please.

    I used several toll roads in Florida a couple of years ago unexpectedly with no pass and with no consequences. Can the cameras see your places at night at high speeds?

    On the east end of the ferry from Balfour (Kootenay Bay) to Crawford Bay is a great golf course. Kokanee Springs. Take the time to check it out one day.

    A few years back it got a new coat of asphalt and was in cherry condition. On a cross county trip, I ran it back and forth twice at waaay over the posted limit with a huge smile. Fortunately no revenue collectors enrounte. 5A is very nice

    2005 Gen 1 ABS bike. Brake question

    Now confirmed that ABS block is toast and needs replacing. Who knows why it failed. Probably should have tested / cycled it more often. New part is $1600 plus install. Fook. Going to buy a used one from a friend, with two of these bikes, on FJRForum for less than 1/3 of that, subject to it...

    Will there be a 2017 CFR?

    I used it as my NE corner on my 4 corner ride on a Thursday in mid Sept. Spent a couple of hours wandering and eating and saw no more than 30 - 40 people. Probably many more spectacular sights but this is still a good one.

    Banff and Jasper July 2nd to July 9th.

    It was my good fortune to ski patrol, hike, climb and explore the Rockies for many years. Some of the bars in Jasper and Banff have drinks named after me. My all time favorite spot is Lake O'Hara just off Hwy 1, a few miles west of Lake Louise. It is a 5-6 mile hike into the Lake or reserve a...
