Re: Trail ride Christmas eve?

I will be doing stuff with my family all that week. Since your family rides, I guess you can combine "family time" with riding! 8-)

Re: Lets get some big bikes dirty this Saturday !!

I am one brave enough and with appropriate gear for road riding in cold and wet weather, but....I have an easy out for Sunday. 8-) I'll be out of town for a family event. So easy for me to say, "Dude, I'd so be there, but I'll be out of town. Maybe next time!"

PS: What happened to your 450?

Re: Lets get some big bikes dirty this Saturday !!

Sounds great, Scott! ....however, I have to be in Wichita this weekend for a family event. :party: You are one of several new folks to the forum in the last year, and many are relatively new to off-pavement riding. There might be some renewed interest in getting some good old-fashioned dualsport rou...

Re: Another Bird Farm ride

Your generosity is very much appreciated, Larry! For those of you who don't know, Larry has created approximately 5 miles of single-track on his pheasant farm. The trails are smooth with barely a rock in sight . This is rare for any off-road trails anywhere around KS or MO. This makes the trails ve...

Re: Open Letter to the Backroads Touring Kansas Community

Thanks, Eddie! Thanks, Creekside! It's actually not a lot of work to keep RideForum.NET going from a technical perspective. My laziness demands that I don't create a system that requires a lot of effort on my part! :-D The goal of this website is simple--facilitate community by providing an easy-to-...

I am subscribed to his e-newsletter, and when he sends out ride invites, I post them on RideForum. You may also want to subscribe, and you can...

I plan to ride to Dell's Powersports tomorrow to check out Dell's, shoot the breeze, and eat chili.

Thanks, Mushman. I have not directly reached out to anyone in the BackroadsTouring community. I posted this open letter with my contact info and hope the message reaches the right people. Yeah, I got into DS at a very active time for KS, I think. We had Dave Hemphill leading rides out of the Lawrenc...
