I got a little insight on this project a few days ago. This cell has great potential. My fingers are crossed...

There are support groups for alcohol, drugs, gambling, ***, eating and all other manner of addiction. There only enablers for LD riding!

Every couple of years a hundred or so people sign up to ride 11, one thousand mile days back to back..and pay a pretty sum of money to do it. Fun is in the throttle hand of the beholder.

Congratulations! Upon completing my first BBG, I felt like I had conquered the world! A CCC100 is a great follow up. Managing fluid intake is a real trick; you need to drink enough to stay hydrated but not so much that several potty breaks result. Of course managing this over 100 hours is a...

A bump for a great thread. I bought a new to me 2005 FJR a few weeks ago. On the first night ride I discovered one of my speedo bulbs was burned out. Since I was disassembling the front end for farkels anyway, I placed my order for LED bulbs. I followed Iggy's lead and went with blue. Love it...

Note the name is not LDCool, it's LDComfort. And for that, Mario's stuff just plain works. I'm not convinced it's needed for a day ride but for multiple days in the saddle LDComfort gear goes a long, long way to keeping your skin healthy by moving moisture away from the body and eliminating the...

I'd like to thank Doug and crew for having Shelly's House back to Alamo for another year of fun and games. Last year the riders exceeded all expectations by raising just over $1,000 for my organization. Shelly's House is a non-profit located in Salem, Oregon. We provide safe, affordable...

Great story...the 2003 FJR has 130K on. After Alamo I began my annual trek to all the new Dutch Bros coffee shops that have opened in the last year. On day four of a four day ride to 19 new stores something when 'boom' on the second start of the morning. Smoke wafted up from underneath the...

I’d like to thank Doug and Team Lyle for selecting Shelly’s House, Inc. to be the beneficiary of this year’s WFO Alamo Rally. The opportunity has me coming out of my self-imposed ‘retirement’ and prepping the old FJR to spend a little time in Nevada come May. Shelly’s House has been...

After decades, some semblance of common sense. Primarily east of the Cascades https://www.argusobserver.com/news/police-oregon-s-new-limit-not-a-license-for-speeding/article_a0dcacdc-dded-11e5-855d-0f5fb526a993.html

There is clearly at least one rider (back row, middle of picture) who's flag is not visible. Ouch.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Since you're not on the clock checkpoints are the time and place to accomplish certain tasks. Depending on your circumstance there can be things that need attention. Equipment failures are common and sometimes bikes require attention. I've ridden two IBR's and did most...

Thanks, Bob. Good to see Jewell and Crane made it in.

Which makes spectating a whole lot less fun.

Hard Miles 2 is a must as it documents (IMHO) one of the most hard fought battles in IBR history. Owens vs. Earls. Epic. Even Higdon wanted to pull a Solomon and cut the first place trophy in two.

There was no laugh like Tom's laugh. The world is a lonelier place without him.

Nanny state.

It's been a while since I've been here...but I'm not gonna let that stop me from begging for money for a good cause. It's time once again for my annual fund-raiser for Shelly's House of Salem, Oregon. Shelly's House provides safe, drug-free housing for women offenders at risk of homelessness...

I think I've decided on the color for my FJR makeover
