    Stupid F***ING WOMAN!

    Being in gear isn't always going to cut it. Like if you are first and there is cross traffic. Sometimes I like to angle in to a stop so I can have more of an opportunity to dart off to the side rather than trying to outrun someone from a dead stop. When there is room I like to split (filter)...

    My SPANK Experience

    Strong performance. It's hard to not let the weather distract you, let alone family matters. Thanks for the report. My best to you and your family.

    Addition to my stable

    I would have to defer to BrianR, RenoJohn (both on DL1000's, but similar enough) and the likes for the real LD farkles. My approach has been quite minimalist on the DL actually. Because it's primarily been for backroad 2UP touring so I've kept weight to a minimum... The only electrical mod has...

    2009 LowCal 250

    If anyone gets in early enough on Friday they can pop by the new shop to check out the start location: 5673 Kearny Villa Road, San Diego, CA, 92123 I'll be setting up some stuff there around 5pm, then grabbing a bite nearby. We met at the Ramada last year because people were arriving at...

    2009 LowCal 250

    If I may be so bold to predict the riding weather for this weekend: OUTSTANDING!!! Pre-ran about 700 miles of potential routes last weekend. Four FJR's are pre-registered. Are any of you ready to make some predictions? B)

    2009 LowCal 250

    2 weeks coming up fast... if your entry is in ahead of time you'll have more time with your packet in the morning... I might just have to flog walk-ins old-school! :rolleyes: But seriously, there will only be so many walk-in packets made up (over estimates waste sponsor $$), so please help us...

    2009 LowCal 250

    Thanks Doug... look forward to seeing you again! There is nothing to lose and everything to gain on this one. 100% of your entry goes to charity... this year I bill it as "Easy to Finish, Hard to Win" Not dummied down... but no killer minimum requirements either... last year the experienced...

    How I Up-Chucked for 1,020 Twisty Miles

    Thanks to everyone! Half the battle in life is the company you keep. I can see now how people can get these seemingly impossible rides done, and what keeps them coming back together to meet as often as they can. I'm not sure if it was euphoria or jet-lag... but these rides stick with you for...

    How I Up-Chucked for 1,020 Twisty Miles

    Doug, oh Doug, oh Doug!!! What can I say. Fools rush in where others fear to tread. The resumes of riders on this gig was impressive. Had I not been on my home turf I dare say I might not have had the will to take on this challenge. My first SS1K was a bit of tough piece of gristle to chew...

    :lol: #2, 3, & 4 were only 0.25% apart... plus you were the #1 Alien Class Finisher! Thanks everyone, we've gotten some out of town entries already. Last year we didn't even set the date until January... I've decided to go ahead and put the paperwork in for some good rally weather! B)
