    SD county ride tomorrow

    Anyone interested in a ride tomorrow morning? Just got back from 9 months in Rhode Island and looking forward to some time in the twisties in east county. I have a two hour window in the am to get my fix!

    Yamaha Touring Trunk

    My Yamaha trunk cracked and it was replaced under recall by the dealer.

    Blueridge Parkway to the Dragon

    Downloaded a pic of me on the Dragon. Killboy had some crappy shots so I went with the MoonShine guys.

    Blueridge Parkway to the Dragon

    So my time in Purgatory here in Dahlgren VA is almost up. On August 1 I'll be heading back to the left coast. My plan is to ride the BlueRidge Parkway down to Asheville NC on the first day, then hit the Tail of the Dragon and end up in Memphis for the second. I had to break the first two days...

    Got my Corbin Saddle today

    Sorry guys. I have to come home. This place is sucks for its lack of mc diversity. Only weekend middle-class badasses on their cookie-cutter mystique machines out here. If I never see another Road King, it will be too soon.

    Sturgis

    August 1 I start my trip back to CA from VA. Planning on a northerly route due to the heat but also to see Mt Rushmore. Thinking about dropping by Sturgis just to say I've been there. Anyone ever been there on a non-Hardley? I'll probably do it in any case, but I'd like to know if anyone has had...

    Got my Corbin Saddle today

    So I received my new Corbin seat today. I went on a ride to Fredericksburg and back, about an hour and a half. I was worried that I would find it too hard as a lot of guys have said, but to my relief, it was outstanding! Very happy with my purchase. It was indeed stiffer, however, the amount of...

    California to Virginia

    Chris, I had a guy telling me about the road through Shenandoah Nat'l Park and what a kick ass ride it was how it's really the beginning of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It looks like it starts right up where you are and I was thinking of doing that ride one weekend while I'm in school in Dahlgren...

    California to Virginia

    Sorry I didn't post yesterday. The La Quinta Inn in Denver didn't have their wireless up. I spent the first half of the day yesterday going through Eastern CO along CO141 up to I70. I thought that Utah was great but my ride through Colorado was even better. That is until I got to Denver...

    California to Virginia

    So tonight I find myself in Blanding, UT in a SUPER 8 motel after about 430 miles through southern Utah. I have to say that I have never had a better ride in my life. Toward the end I was hurting a little but I would have kept going if the sun didn't go down. self explanatory The road...

    California to Virginia

    So one day and 400 miles down, 2500 miles to go. From Temecula, CA to St. George, UT took me about 7 hours. I stopped a bunch of times for gas and such but also to redistribute some gear. I know I packed way too much stuff, but this being my first long trip, I really didn't want to need it and...

    MotoFizz Camping Seat Bags

    I need the room for all my uniforms and clothes for six weeks. Didn't want to be limited to two pairs of zip-off pants and sandles the whole time. That's why I went Large. Anyway, I saw how they looked on the bike - looks good.

    MotoFizz Camping Seat Bags

    I saw May 12th. Just assumed it was this year. Thanks for making me fell dumb :dribble: .

    MotoFizz Camping Seat Bags

    I too have been quietly lusting after these bags. After reading this thread I couldn't resist any longer and ordered a large from RWH. Did I hear right that they are back ordered? Nothing said as much when I placed my order. Hopefully that is not the case as I am counting on it for a trip to VA...

    California to Virginia

    I don't know J. You got me thinking that Utah and Colorado might be worth doing both ways. I really appreciate you taking the time to map out a route for me. But then again, you hit me with another pearl of wisdom about getting used to the distances on a straight shot out. Decisions...

    California to Virginia

    Wow! I was looking for some feedback but the response is more than I had hoped. My planned route will basically consist of I40. Check it out: https://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Temecula&a...lgren&2s=VA Bad plan? Boring? Should I go further to the North? I expect this trip to be challenging, but...

    Service Quote

    Thank you all for the feedback. I think that I'll do all the fluid changes myself based on your responses but leave the big ticket stuff to the pros. The only other dealer I've had any contact with is Temecula MotorSports, which has never impressed me. I trust them to mount tires I've removed...

    Service Quote

    I'm doing the radiator flush myself so I had them delete it from the service. I just did the plugs, oil change and air filter so I had those deleted from the service. The swingarm and the centerstand lube is also included. I feel just confident enough in my own ability to do everything myself...
