Re: New bike for Troy? DR350SE for sale?

I heard you were ditching ol' faithful Troy. FWIW, I have ridden a 610 and it was a rocket, too much for anything I could handle on a single track. Guy in Houston had a KTM 525 and it was lifting front tires in 3rd through Sam Houston National Forest. He has a set of moto wheels for street duties. I...

Re: Garmin 60CSx, $350, Cabela's

Good deal. I love my 60cs, but need more memory now going on longer trips. Would like to just have the lower 48 loaded and ready to go. That CSx would be the cats pajamas for me. :cry: Too bad I just dropped $700 in riding gear and bags :shock:

Kawasaki Versys...My $0.02

I took a ride Saturday over to the Illinois side (I am in Iowa now :wink: )to look at the new Versys since my dealer here can not seem to get one in. :roll: He did not give me a price on my KLR which was okay, I was not going to buy the Versys. I just brought him in pics and a list of extras for him...

Re: Dual Sport ride in Soutwest Wisconsin!

I know it's a haul (especially from Ft. Scott), but if you are ever up here to ride, hit me up. I am pretty familiar with that area as well as around Cedar Rapids, IA. Parents have a cabin in Lansing, IA I can use anytime also.

It is beautiful up there! Love being back home

Dual Sport ride in Soutwest Wisconsin!

Some pics have captions. I did not take much since it rained ALL day Saturday, and POURED 4" that night. My tent was full and my gear was soaked. I split the last room at a bed and breakfast with another rider. http://30bones.smugmug.com/gallery/3252180#180022159 547 miles round trip and I feel fine...

It's a fun place. I went there when I got into 4x4's back in 97?? Don't think vehicles are allowed there anymore for good reasons. Not so fun on a KLR though. I ride there when I had my Raptor 660 a TON!!! That place is a blast on 4 wheels or a MX bike. I broke two ribs and dislocated my thumb and s...

Congrats, Chris. I know that is a huge weight off your shoulders. Breathe easier, my friend. Try not to rub our noses too hard in the fact you are not under snow and ice down there. 8) I think it was 64 when I woke up and high in the 70's today. I will be complaining when the heat comes, trust me.

Re: Chris

It was nice to ride with you a couple of times. I think of the first ride with you cause of your mishap. We were a couple of miles north of Easton Ks. and I saw a farm field road that looked interesting and stopped so our group could figure out if we wanted to give it a try. I had been leading all ...

Thanks all. I am excited to start a new chapter so to speak.

I am sure I will be hating it come summer, but will just have to deal with it. Everyplace has crappy weather in some way or another.

Leaving KCMO after 11 years

I am heading out to move to Houston this week. I have only been riding and meeting folks off bike borads for the past few years, but I have meet some great people.

Just wanted to say thanks for the good times and I will try to drop in from time to time.

Take care
