Re: Open Letter to the Backroads Touring Kansas Community

Well, I never heard from anyone officially regarding Backroads Touring, but a good friend alerted me to the launch of their new website. http://www.backroads.bike First, that's a cool domain with the .bike extension! The site looks really nice, and the forum system they are using looks great. Congra...

Re: 2010 KTM 450 SX-f Any known issues?

Good question. I avoid the 2008 - 2010 EXC models, but did the SX-f line have the same motor changes as the EXCs during those years?

Re: Hillbilly ride Icon

One of my earliest rides with Dave. This picture is from a ride that took off from Tonganoxie, KS on September 11, 2005. Dave is on the right. I am in the black jacket standing next to Dave. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/e8jbHCH5oJK1Qj606ihLgRIWUWHYBQTWBOAbv7B9d2C7h5W9jE975NAaoWCpVSH-vDzfXq4XPwd...

It is a black substance that is really sticky.
Another meaning is that TARKC is an acronym for Trail & Adventure Riders of Kansas City. Here is the TARKC introduction and welcome letter from Randy Kidd.

On the Illinois side of the river, we spent close to an hour at Le Fort De Chartress originally built in 1720.

A very cool place we had all to ourselves.

Re: Midwest Motorcycle Museum Tour [ M3T ]

I would have been up for that trip this weekend if I was not on a plane heading to Charleston, SC. I know. Why do you think I try to plan this when you are out of town?! 8-) Ha! Actually, I know if there's one guy who'll go riding at the drop of a hat, it's you. I figured you were a shoe-in (or ADV...

Midwest Motorcycle Museum Tour [ M3T ]

This is an idea I've had for a few years now: A multi-day dualsport/adventure ride making a large loop to take in the area motorcycle museums . While the museums will no doubt be interesting, for me personally, this is more about the ride for sure. The museums are a good destination excuse! Kansas ...

Re: Hillbilly ride Icon

Dave Hemphill was the godfather of dualsport for NE Kansas. I don't know if there are any gravel roads in Heaven, but if there are, Dave will find them, and he'll probably lead some folks out for an adventure.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Larry.

Let me know if this sounds like something you might be interested in. If so, I can try to get your more specifics... The riding would be the official motorcycle single-track in the " Taylor Park " area. This is the land between Crested Butte on the West and Taylor Reservoir to the East end of the tr...

A "cut up". I see what you did there. You missed a good time--a real page turner.

Re: Calendar!

Eddie, I am tired of defending my scrapbooking hobby to you. Scrapbooking is fun and creative. It brings friends together where they enjoy fellowship over the common goal of preserving memories in fun & fancy ways that can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Re: Calendar!

REMINDER: The way events get onto the RideForum.NET Calendar is I go into the Google Calendar and add them. Only I have this "authority" right not. This isn't because I'm a power-hog. It's simply that I don't know how to easily integrate things so people can create their own calendar items. As a sof...

Re: Calendar!

I want to include any events that have potential interest to our community--even if it's just 1 or 2 folks. National events could meet that requirement.

This morning I found out my 4th grader's Daddy Daughter Dance is the same night as the ice racing. She was really upset when I told her I'd miss her dance, but she has another year of elementary school--we can do the dance next year. :crying: How many chances will I have to see ice racing?!
