Re: Sat Nov 24, 2012 Gravel Roads
Larry, At one time you mentioned also riding some trails at your place...are you still thinking that or more just gravel? The reason I'm asking is that, like Troy, I'm not sure whether to ride my 800GS or haul my 450. The other issue is that it may be cold and I'm a wimp about riding in the cold. If...

Re: Day after Thanksgiving
My base camp is anywhere, 40 miles out of town at a riding park. :) I'm trailering to start point, any good riding parks? There aren't any riding parks in kc.The two closest are Perry, Northwest of Lawrence and Deepwater which is a few miles south of Clinton on Hwy 13. In my opinion neither one of ...

Re: Day after Thanksgiving
I've got family at our house on Thursday so I would probably get in trouble if I left to go riding. Depending on how early my in-laws leave on Friday, I should be available most of the day. Saturday is wide open for me!

Re: Maple Hill Loop Saturday 11/17
Speaking of attractive girls...I've got a date tomorrow night with my Missouri girlfriend and it would make it tough to get back in time from Maple Hill....I would need to leave Maple Hill by 3:00 at the very latest. Probably not going to make the ride so if I'm not there at 10:00 then I won't be th...

Re: Maple Hill Loop Saturday 11/17
Nope, didn't sell the husky it's still broken. Been working on finding a new girlfriend, and haven't had any time to work on it. :D Kendall, I'm in for sure. You won't have to swap bikes, I'll just go around box turtle, or you can help me when I high center the cylinders on that really big rut! Let...

You are on the big bike....did you sell the Husky?ozarksrider wrote:I might be in. How early are you thinking to start? Since I'm on the big bike this weekend I may ride down there.
I'm trying to figure a way to make this ride work and should know more in the next couple of days.

Re: 4th Annual Winter Bald Eagle Ride, January 18-21, 2013
+1 on everything Troy and Eddie have already said. I have the Gerbings liner and gloves and the only thing that I would do different is to get one size smaller on the liner. You need to have the liner so that it is snug to your skin. My liner is a perfect size if it was a coat but because it is some...

3 Forests in 3 days
It seems that everybody but me has done a solo trip sometime in their life. I've always wanted to ride 3 forests, Mark Twain, Ozark and Ouachita, in one trip and the weather looked great so this weekend I did it. Trucked my 800GS to Cassville Mo and took off from there. Had a great time with perfect...

Re: October ride
We never made it all the way to Mt Magazine. It was cold and rainy all day so there wouldn't have been any gliders...save it for another day!

Re: October ride
Cold??? Was I the only one tough enough to not ever be cold....that's the nice thing about being the oldest in the group...I'm the first to forget the details and remember the great time! We had a great group and I can't wait to go again!

Re: October ride
Quick update on jasbaum and my status. Due to Friday work conflicts, we'll be heading down tomorrow late-afternoon/evening. We'll either unload in Fayetteville or Mulberry Mountain Lodge (depending on the weather, and when we get out of KC), meeting the group in Ozark tomorrow night. Thanks for the...

Re: October ride
My heated gear would be packed if it didn't run the battery down on my KTM. An alternative to heated gear is to kick start my 450....5 or 6 kicks and I'm warmed up. I'm wearing my full riding boots....kind of like not having my seat belt on, I just don't feel right without the full boots. I've packe...

Re: Routes & Tracks
Holy crap. When do you find time to ride? No doubt this stuff takes time. If you are a typical guy, add up the hours you spend watching, listening, and discussing sports. When you are doing that, I'm geeking out on GPS stuff or reading ride reports on AdvRider.com. (I'm the guy who, on the day of t...

Re: October ride
This morning I rode to work and it was 42 degrees....about the high for Saturday...I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold so I'm breaking out the long underwear! The best way to get warm down there is to ride up a steep, rocky trail.

Re: Chadwick Oct. 11-14
I'll see you down there. A group of buddies and I have had our fall Chadwick trip planned for that weekend for a couple of months now. We're staying in loop B in two spots that are right next to each other. Sounds good...you already know the spot you are staying...can you make reservations? Guess I...
