Passed on to a friend who may be interested.

Great article, Tyler, and shared onwards. Thank you.

Omitted to mention in the post that we had no internet connection on he road when I tried to fi them, which explains why I didn't know they were for Gen1

Garauld, I scored the sub-frame reinforcement kit you donated to CFO - many thanks. I puzzled for a while on how to fit it to my USA Bike (08) then decided I was probably for a gen 1. All is good. I'll take it back to Australia an fi I to my Gen 1 back home. If you ever do develop a Gen2 kit...

All good. We will nominate Utah seeing as that's our starting point (if I was you I also wouldn't want to change the website - could let a few unwashed from other parts of the world seek through security). The Rhode Island option sounded good for a while, but it's just too small and the...

Accomodation all booked (despite the vagaries of long-distance telephone communication in odd time zones) . YEEEHaaa. Attractive as the offer from Intech is, we have passed it up this time (sunshine) . Maybe next time In 4 weeks we will in SLC preppeing the bike to start riding tomorrow

We have a minor failure to initiate launch sequence here. Actually, 2 minor failures. 1 - I cannot register as it won't accept that I am not from one of the states of the union as listed in the drop-down box. 2 - Hotel cannot accept booking as their website won't recognise the CFO Gathering...

It's not just you. I just ignore his posts

I've just read this from start to finish. What a great heartwarming thread. I don't get to this forum as often as I maybe should (being in Australia & all), but all I can say is AWESOME. Mike, you do great work, and every contribution here was fantastic, from words of support & care, through...

Great work and great implementation of your ideas. Well done!

Thank you for the update, Bounce. It is sad to get news like this, but it is heartening to hear of a life well lived.

That looks good. Could even stay at Pierre the night before, making the day a little shorter, and seeing the smaller towns, farmlands etc sounds attarctive. We'll have our next route planning discussion in the next week or so, and these suggestions are great - many thanks.

On an FJR - all interstate - no way. We could easily doe that, but when we've come all the way from 'stralia Interstates are the last on our list to ride. If it works we'd make it 2 days. From Spearfish I'm looking at going via Mt Rushmore, maybe ride through Sturgis just because we can, then...

Thanks for the prompt responses. Checking Google Maps now and working out practicalities.

More info needed, please. We'll be doing our 3 USA tour in September, and may be in this area around the time of the CFO. Our touring all startrs at SLC (where our USA FJR is stored) and we're heading north through Jackson, then west to include Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Highway, and on to...

Mods, please delete if this is deemed inappropriate. A story from todays news: Canadian police are demanding to know why a murderer who modelled his gruesome killing on the TV show Dexter has been given unfettered access to the ultra-violent crime series in jail. Mark Twitchell was jailed in...

Great Ride report - thanks. I agree with what you say about Phil (and his lovely wife, and their dogs) - very hospital and generous. In Feb a friend (Gerry) and I road in 600 miles from the north and stayed the night with them, before the three of us headed to the World Superbikes at Phillip...

In amongst the joy our furry companions bring us, there is also the sadness. In my case it's no more 'toasty' in the morning, licking peanut butter & honey from my fingers; no more 'socks' and 'washbasket'; no more unbridled joy at 'walkies' or the 'herding' of Zea into the kitchen at 6 to make...

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions. I'll look into all of them

Our 4-week tour is about to begin - well, in about 8 more sleeps. WhoooHooo. Right now I need some help with accommodation recommendations in Jasper and Hyder/Stewart, and places in between. Any help greatly appreciated. I'll post up some more detail shortly, and maybe we'll catch up with...
