Thanks Troy, had some good rides, I couldn't count the number of times I've ridden the gravel loop you put together. I also got some great coaching here when I got my first gps. Best wishes on future endeavors, DK. :thumb

Like! Sweet sweet music!

Just found out about Uncle Dave's passing. Very Sad, and Taken back. To say Dave was a Character would be a huge understatement. Told me he never lost a rider leading a ride........... Huge Lie. I loved Dave, and spent at least one night in the same full size bed with him. Total Class Act. God Spee...

Thanks for a great time Eddie! It was nice to catch up with old friends, still surprised McB and KansasBob didn't know each other. BBQ was excellent and DirtFarmer outdid himself with breakfast.

It was good to see you Bob, and I was relieved to see you getting around fairly well.

From recent backroad cruises, the first one just needs modern running gear and a stove pipe sticking out the window.

Ouch! I wish her the speediest recovery possible, she was so gracious and kind at the Atchison rally.

I'm going to head up early in the morning, too close to home to not sleep in my own bed tonight and the rain. rturpin, you can show up unannounced, get a day pass, day pass and a meal, or the whole deal.

I mentioned it to one the of guys at the plant who says it sounds like a good time. He bought my buddy's DR650, I assured him he won't be shunned.

I should mention I put a TKC80 out front per your bike and am very pleased. It sings a little but the feel on gravel and dirt is awesome! Looks like I'm almost to the wear bars on the rear, I think my retired buddy and I may head down Arkansas way sunday or so.

Hope the weather is good for the remainder of your trip.

That sounds just fine. :mrgreen: Don't forget to go in the barn and check out the mangers. Hand dug well, outbuildings. I easily passed for a local my last visit to the Ozone burger barn, and had a Luc sighting. :) Dub was telling us about how they strung cables tied way up high in the bigger trees ...

I think you're probably right Troy, in my case I gave my word. I'd still get current info before I took a hundred riders I didn't really know there, all on the same day. That's all.

About all that interests of late is the GS, that's definitely not GS friendly.

We got the grand tour riding with Devro a couple years ago. As I recall he called it the Spurgeon Warren cabin. We were there probably an hour. Dub had some fascinating stories about how the area was logged years ago. Devro always asked me to keep close mouthed about it. If I were planning to have i...

Thanks for the heads up! I was able to use street view to "walk" farm fields even up in the hinterlands!

My buddy Hayduke had an annoying leak on his 525 that slipped past his mechanic. With some coaching he used a piece of glass and 320 grit paper and lapped the head flat again so the gasket could seal. If it got hot, I'd make sure it's still flat.

[quote="mesjr That looks fun . Went for a ride Sunday . Rode around Hamilton , Jamesport , Chilothe .

All I saw was packs o...
