    Dallas Ft. Worth Routing

    I would avoid DFW entirely. That slow stretch northbound on I-35W is nearly a parking lot in the mornings. In addition to the lane reductions, there is a large group of workers headed north to Alliance Airport and the Warehouse businesses in Roanoke. I would suggest: Map around Fort Worth

    almost bought a concours14

    I'm in a little different position. I had a C-10 Concours that I really enjoyed but totaled on a ride in Arkansas. The C-14 had not yet arrived in the dealerships so a selected a used FJR. I am just now finishing the 26K service. No help or tech assist, just me and the service manual...

    FJRChik's 1st LD trip on a bike

    Excellent job Michelle! It would have been fun to go but having had surgery 7-15-08, I wouldn't have been good company. The surgery has done wonders so it was worth it regardless. I'm just not riding until October. Ramona and I, with another couple, drove to Angel Fire for an extended week...

    For those those that evaluated the damage to my bike

    Sorry about your "trip highlight" Kurt. Just food for thought. In November 2006, I totaled a Concours on AR123 north of Lurton. When the salvage dealer came for the remains, I simply installed the "filler panels" and kept the saddlebags. If you have an aftermarket seat, simply mount one or...

    When leaving Dallas?

    Some mornings the Alliance traffic is backed up from 170 all the way to the 287 split. Friday I will know the results of the most recent test and I guess we'll press on from there with the treatment/cure. (I Hope)

    When leaving Dallas?

    That would be a good plan to take the loop, north around town Brad. Just make certain that the Alliance morning traffic doesn't hold you up coming north.

    When am I leaving........?

    No longer. :( Have been having "dizziness" issues since end of last year. I donated my "swag" from Cafepress to Michelle's giveaway loot and cancelled my reservation. Neurosurgeon wants to operate on my neck. (I think he wants a new condo) Physical therapy is helping some but still...

    SFO Report from cub reporter.

    +1 to everything already said. Had a really great time. Even though it was my second SFO event, it was my first time riding with the group. This crowd covers ground quickly! After viewing Tony and Francis' river chalet, (stunningly beautiful) had a great ride to Queen Wilhelmina Lodge for...

    SFO Report from cub reporter.

    :thumbsupsmiley: Great Weekend! Scott is a hoot! Mark got there late Friday evening. Apparently his "in room alarm clock" was set wrong. It was KSU at 8:30 Saturday and we pulled out of the Exxon next door at exactly 8:30. Mark got up and out at "7:30" and seemed to miss everyone. Had a...
