I'm going to Holt for the lunch deal, then ride Troy's Plattsburg route, should be around ninety miles of gravel. If anyone wants to join me I'll probably leave Holt around 1pm. Dean

I'm riding up for lunch, thinking about picking up Troy's Plattsburg route for an afternoon ride. Should be around ninety miles and end up a few miles west of Smithville.

Real nice hanging out with you all. Tom is a very gracious host and I look forward to the next get together or ride. Dean K.

Yep, nice posts MoRidin!

The Husky's sound nice but what would make me a little leery is parts availability. That would make me lean more towards a ktm. For my situation my antiquated xrl is fine. Theoretically higher compression ratios mean more performance with the trade off of shorter engine life. I think the 525 and the...

Doohickey, chain driven counter balancer adjuster pivot shaft, or something. DK

Hi Tom, count me in, it was a pleasure to meet you at Holt, unless this is a different Smithville Tom. Welcome, Dean K.

Good to see you again Rusty, those tenderloins are awesome. I posted the headtoholt link on advrider, hope that's ok. See you next time, Dean

Troy, if you see Paul and Amy tell them Hi for me. I was invited to their neighbor's st pats day celebration but I didn't make that either. :oops: I work with a guy that lives across the street from Paul. I'm going to invite a guy from advrider to join us here, he's just getting moved to KC and is b...

Guess I missed you guys by a bit, maybe next time. It was twenty miles over there and fifty getting home.

An ATK Bike Shoe? You can probably beat this price if you shop around.

Thanks Guys, I kind of figured it out, I just needed to stop pressing the rocker button putting it in pan mode. Seems like the more I learn about this thing, the less I know. It's been a humbling experience and I'll try to keep the questions to a minimum. ajayhawk fan gave me a few tips today but I'...

I got out and rode Troy's Plattsburg route today, had a good time. I was a little nervous about riding and looking at the gps but after twenty miles or so I got the hang of it. Thanks for putting it together Troy, some of the roads I had been on at one time or another but had would have never got t...

Thanks for the heads up Mike. I did my first gps guided ride today, I like it!
A quick question, as you are riding along following a route can you make the map scroll ahead automatically? I was having to scroll the map with the cursor buttons. Dean

My buddy Larry who rode with Troy and I on Troy's Doniphan county ride made a new addition to the stable. New V-Rod 8) Just so he doesn't get rid of the DR650! :shock: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a232/katbeanz/DSCN0361.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a232/katbeanz/DSCN0362.jpg http://i12...

I was thinking about doing this one sunday... http://www.rideforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=94 Since I wimp.., er my bike was apart the first time you guys rode it. I was thinking of Lowman's Cafe for a meeting point. If anyone wants to volunteer to navigate/lead that would be fine, otherwise I'll do my ...

+1 on the sealed gel batteries, I usually get four years or more out of one, no battery tender, no TLC, just rampant neglect.

I didn't want to commit to anything, my main mission for today was get my rear brake working as well as it should and play with my gps. I got a late start waiting for it to warm up, got out around 3 and got 75 miles in. I wanted to get used to riding with the gps mounted and make sure I wasn't a dan...

Thanks Mike, I figured out the belt clip button ram mount from cycoactive's site. This one had me stumped, I hope you didn't put yourself to too much trouble. Dean
