My main worry is the braking on the Ninja...but a lot of that is due to it's ****** front suspension. I decided to beef up the springs and let him ride the 250 for a while. Those Sts look pretty nice though..... :rolleyes: Thanks for the input.

My goal is to tour the country with my two sons (currently 16 & 14.5 yars old) as soon as the younger one is ready...so I have a couple of years. I am imagining them on DL650s for that trip. My wife & I on the FJR. I bought an '05 Ninja 250 and the 16y has been practicing and just passed his...

thanks guys!

We did a similar trip last summer. I agree with the previous poster abut heding north from Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Ride up the Grand Mesa...very cool. If you make it to the west Denver area, you will want to ride up Mt Evans, highest paved road in North Am. over 14k' Also, if you end up...

Thanks for the great trip report. How great to do that with your dad! :D

I too employ the "Hi Mom" wave. It is just the most un-harley thing to do and let's them know beyond a doubt that I do not ride a real bike and I am not in the club.

Please send me a copy o the SFO rides. [email protected] Thanks!

Well done! :clapping:

I like your last one

I would do that. Would love to know what you used. Are those small hyperlytes?

Yeah...but the roads were flat and pretty straight. At least they were empty this time of year.
