    Rendezvous at Red Lodge 2020 June 25th - 28th, 2020 - It's a Wrap!

    Yeah, I had no indication of a problem other than some wear in Montana. Evidently as I drove through Wyoming in the rain, it had worn down. Found myself stuck in Craig, Colorado on a Sunday with that tire.  Weighed my options, so limping to meet my friend with my truck and trailer turned out to...

    Rendezvous at Red Lodge 2020 June 25th - 28th, 2020 - It's a Wrap!

    Well that was fun! I am so glad this event came together, even with the changes. fjrchuck and I had a great time and good ride all the way. I say that despite the fact that I rode right through the plies to a flat on my bike on the return trip! You can see the details of our trip in my little...

    Thanks Commander, and FJRChuck This was a great trip up and experience. left red Lodge and went through several rain storms and buffeted by gusts up to 50 mph.

    Switched from Geico. Yikes, what a difference!

    I've worked in the insurance industry for over thirty years. As a rule, I wouldn't say auto (and cycle) policies have teaser rates per se, but some give unusual discounting options.

    Another Link. Great ride to Colorado via Santa Fe, NM. This video is fun to watch but is of notably lower resolution quality. Hope you like it. Click to see here.

    Smoky Mountains in the Fall

    I had made this trip in the fall of 2016. I actually rode the FJ9 on this trip along with my friend who rode a Harley Sportster. But the purpose of this share is because I'm kind of proud of the video and photo montage I put together showing some of the trip's highlights. Note the Great Fall...
