    SW-FOG 2017?

    Hold your ponies blufjr. The date isn't set yet. I'm planning on going with my original date of Aug 3-5 because a full moon is Aug 7 and it would make for some awesome night riding. And besides, while all are mulling around the bikes in the evening, we'll be bathed in the moon glow instead of...

    SW-FOG 2017?

    Sounds like 20th to 23rd is a go. Dolly will be thrilled.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    I haven't set the rally for July 13-16 yet and am still getting quotes from hotels (one who offer breakfast) in Steamboat Springs. What dates would work better for those of you thinking of coming: July 13-16 or July 20-23

    SW-FOG 2017?

    I was leaning more to the July 13-15 date as it is past the Independence weekend and not as steamy as August could be and past the snowed-in Yosemite June ride will be. I am stoked to revisit Estes Park again since the July 24-27, 2008 NAFO Golden CO rally. Any other thoughts out there.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    If I, with assists, were to take this on, timing is all important. We are looking at Steamboat as the home base. Here are a couple possible dates: July 13-15 or Aug 3-6 or other preference? Let's here your voice for preference.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    Hmmmmm. Steamboat to Estes Park, only 3 hrs, hwy 40 to 34. Do lunch in Estes Park and return same route or take a 4 hr detour loop, riding hwy 72-119-70-9-40 back to Steamboat. So, is it Steamboat most are itching to stay? What month fits into your itinerary, June, July, Aug or Sept...

    SW-FOG 2017?

    Enough talk, someone step forward and commit. Where and when and I am in. I just sold my '07 today (90k on her) and plan to pick up the '17 this week. I'm ready to ride. Glacier NP or Banff as a side trip anybody?

    SW-FOG 2017?

    If for some reason you don't want to stay in Estes Park because of $ and want close proximity, one might as well stay in Boulder.

    My F-350 is pissing me off

    I believe a lot has to do with the year and make. I bought my 1998 F150 Lariat 5.4L during the last year for that style of production and have over 140k miles on it. Never had an engine problem and had the timing chain/belts and shocks changed once. I thought of buying a new GM 3500 and top it...

    Glacier National Park in the rain.

    Great pics and story lines. Makes one want to be there in person. The Outlook Inn could be the resting place for my planned trip there this spring-summer-fall or which ever date I pick. All I need to do is find a riding buddy to share in the costs.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    bigD, who is organizing this rally? You, AJ? The votes seem to be leaning toward Estes Park.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    Agreed AJ, good roads and well traveled. That leaves Estes Park or any other suggestions? Would the eastern Sierras be considered too far west for SW-FOG? I've always wanted to do the "Going to the Sun Road" (Glacier NP). The best part of these rides, is the paths taken to get to the rally.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    Not a bad idea blufjr. Those are some good rides that I've done in the past. The room rates are lower than what it would be in Estes Park if you are flying solo but doubling up in Estes Park is good too. It sounds like you could be volunteering for the organizing committee.

    I missed out on their warm welcome. I am still up for Estes Park.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    MsNASCAR and I rode up and through Estes Park during the 2008 NAFO rally in Golden CO as were other attendees. Yes, it is awesome. This is one town that books up several months in advance so if there is sincere interest here, planning soon would be advisable.

    SW-FOG 2017?

    I'm all for a ride and meet in Estes Park (Rocky Mtn NP) and put a SW-FOG, NAFO, or whatever tag you want to put on it. I just had surgery again 11 days ago and I should be up for a good ride when the weather cooperates. Snow is expected in Prescott by Sunday and more on the way. Anybody want...

    New 2017 FJR Announced, Raven it is!

    The big question is, did the Mother Ship fix the issues for the '17 that is haunting the '16s?

    My '07 feejer stopped running after dropping it off ctr stand for ride

    I am one happy camper again. My '07FJR is back in the stable with the recall done again by Outdoor Sports. Temecula Motorsports never completed the recall correctly. They did not attach a ground wire to each grounding terminal, thus eventually frying out the S4 grounding terminal. I finally...
