Jeff, I was with you and I was smiling all the way!;-) I'm glad you had the sense to stop and turn around while the path was still wider than the FJR is long. Otherwise, it could have gotten difficult. And at least we knew what we were on was slippery. Hey, I'd do it again. There are some...

So glad to hear that as far as Nick is concerned, nothing more than his pride was damaged. From my perspective two bikes behind him, we were traveling more like 5 miles an hour. We were being cautious. When I stopped on the bridge, my feet almost slid out from under me, that deck was slick...

Once more - - MANY THANKS

Back at work!;-{ 1900 FJRulous miles in 5 days, not nowhere near the highest total by any stretch. Also took 220 home, stayed off the slab, great road for WV to PA & NE trek. Like Mr. Bill, I saw heards of deer on 219 on the way down. Had the local cop from Warm Springs give me a treat...

Thursday night? It's Wednesday night, and I still haven't left work yet. The good news is that I'm leavin' for EOM just as soon as I get my bags packed. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Assuming I don't...

I'll trade - if you like Acid Jazz. So I guess you know that means I'll listen to almost anything on the flip side. I can offload from my GPS onto on a USB stick or SD card. And everything I have in mp3 format is a legitimately free download. Right, so who would want it? I think I could get...

Sounds like beautiful cruzin weather to me.

Is it true that triple digit performance award winners get to spend a night in the high roller suite. Please don't pick me - - I gave on the way to the office.

Was not me. I saw an '05 or '06 eastbound on I-78 Wednesday morning. He was carrying a red tail bag. Could it have been the same bike? Anyway, I thought of you EJ, when it flashed by, hope it won't be too long till we see each other on the road again.

THANKS Jeff Zumo uses gpx, (I guess Garmin finally caught on) but you can translate gpx to gdb with Mapsource or other software. Hope the FTP site stays up for at least another day, give us dial-ups a chance to download them. PS - I need a refresher on FTP - I can't even find my ftp app -...

I can't believe all the grief Heidi is getting on the board for all the hard work she is doing, and now she's gonna buy beer yet, heck, I hope she will still drink with us.

A definite possibly maybe!;-) I didn't make a reservation for Thursday, but I was planning to be there. Just depends how captivated I get with the scenery on the way down. Gonna wing it - - not Wing it.

Jeff - - Thanks for the hard work plotting the routes. :dribble: Can anyone tell me where the gpx files are posted? :blink:

Haven't thought really hard about my route yet. Was thinking of riding to Front Royal Thursday, then down Skyline on Friday. Alternatively, I was thinking of a straight one day shot either Thursday or Friday, 2-lanes from southern PA through northern Maryland and down Skyline. I booked 3...

+1 on the homebrew, I'll drink the local stuff, whatever it is. The bags on my FJR will hold 12 pounders with ice, but she gets a little heavy in the turns.

THANX - I've discovered that I am now totally dependent on GPS - can't remember how I navigated without it. Although I still carry a full set of paper maps, I now also lug around a laptop. GPS just makes touring so convenient.

Thanks so much for sending the private e-mails - - I've been off-line for a few weeks and would have probably missed it until it was too late - - checks in the mail. I'd probably be fine with just gas and beer (after I get off the bike) , but hot food sounds real good. (Sorry I had to send a...

Hit it a few times, can't say at what RPM, but you will know when you get there.

I average between 36 and 40 mpg. I keep wondering if there is something wrong with the way my engine is tuned or if it's the gas here in SE PA. I would be so happy to get 40+mpg on a regular basis. Only time that happens is on long trips to rural areas in warm weather. Least I get 4.5k to a...

I think the next update just got released. My Zumo has been plain daffy since I loaded v3.3. :ranting2: Once last weekend it told me to turn left when the screen showed the route turning right. NO LIE. Several times it told me to turn left or right at an intersection when the route went...
