    Goodbye y'all and thanks

    I've been there and done that. I took about 6 or so years off when my son was born. needed the finances elsewhere. But I've gotten another and came back. I wish I'd have stayed in contact with folks on here more but I too thought that since I didn't have an FJR I had no business being here...

    Best route creation software - by far

    This is normally my thinking as well Pants, but I don't "stray too far from home" and with the thought of YFO in the distance, I need to get my route planning game in gear.

    Best route creation software - by far

    Not yet. I'm extremely new to GPS. I fiddle fart my way thru Google Maps to get an idea for a run, then I see what I can do about using Base Camp. I use waypoints to try and keep myself on the course I want to go. One thing I seem to have issues with, and maybe its just me, but it seems that if...

    I still can't seem to get the hang of BaseCamp. Or maybe it's because I don't spend a lot of time with it.

    YFO 2017 - Yosemite and Beyond - June 1-3, 2017

    I'm looking at 5 days out, 4 days there, then 5 back to Ohio. Not sure if I want to take a Southern route and possibly hook up with some that way or go right up the middle and meet up with folks that way. Been doing some practice routes in Google Maps so I've got an idea.

    Traditions, Legends and Milestones

    Very nice! Charleston is only about an hour south of me. My mothers family grew up in the Gauley Bridge region, so I go down that way as often as I can to soak up some history. Good luck and safe travels on the rest of your trip!

    I bought a 15A. Love it. So much more refined than my 06, the last FJR I had. Cycle Trader was my friend when searching for the best price.

    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    Hmm....my Suomy wasn't on the list...suppose I ought to toss it in the trash. I will admit that I am one that when I first got into riding, and starting on sportbikes, that I thought I had to have the Repli-racer helmets. If they were good enough for the guys going near 200, they were good...
