Glad to hear your skills are still intact! :) I hope you will be able to get a "kitchen pass" more often and give us a little more notice so that we can join you. Likewise, Daryl! I've been buried in family stuff for months. We'll ride this summer. Day trips are a lot easier to sell than multi-day ...

It was sweet. Dave H. and Dave O. and I rode from 9 to 5. It started out bleak, with breakfast at Burger King. That place is gross. Toured the Hemphill Ranch. Then to Lone Star Lake, west to Overbrook, burgers at Shirley's, I say they are great, get the deluxe. Then west to Eskridge, west to Box Tur...

The Dunlop Rally Raids D908RR are very cool, front and rear. They are a little harder compound than the Dunlop 606 or Pirelli MT-21, so they wear better and bite harder at speed. If you ride maybe 50% pavement (I pity you if you do) think about the Continental TKC-80's. But, hey, they are all good t...

The tough thing about it is that everything north of Topeka for about 10 miles or more is pavement. As you head west, south of Perry Lake and north of US 40, you really have to get north in a hurry, up as far north as Meriden and Hoyt, before you are on solid gravel, as opposed to hardball.
