A rider on a BMW a few minutes ahead of me went down after hitting sand on the fog line while setting up for a left hander. On the right was a 500' drop. He was lucky that he did not high side or slide to the right or he would have had many, many scrapes and bruises instead of a scraped arm and...

In, solo, have no reservation so I need to figure out what post describes the local motels.

Hwy 191, I believe. If so, that is is a mighty nice ride, which I savored in late October.

Yes, I'm in, likely solo. Someone get me a room, please. King, no smoking.

Get Justin's LR4's with the dimmer. great set up that worked perfectly on my recent 72 day ride!

Thanks for the advice. I don't seek to ride when the weather is cold but want something for the long rides when the weather gets ******. Rather than carrying extra gear, ie: heated gloves, maybe the heated grip option is better for me since I can just turn a switch and get some hand heat. I do...

Asking for a last minute Xmas present from the much better half and looking for a consensus of pros and cons for either solution to cold hands in marginal weather. Are there significant benefits to either? My ride is a 2005 beauty.

When my Oregon tag is read by the cameras in Florida or wherever, how do they charge me? Have had no sign of any fees from my recent ride and have no intention of paying them if a bill does arrive. What penalty can they assess? Or do they even care about out iof state visitors?

I did the ride in, this past spring and it went perfect. And the seat was a dream on my 72 day, 17,727 mile ride this fall. Love it! Yes, we will. I expect to buy a place in the Tucson area next year.

Heated grips!

Just one of many reasons that I have no interest in this road. Between Valentino Rossi wanabee's, squids who bought their bikes last Saturday and middle aged cruiser riders who cannot stay in their own lane, and the above, I cannot imagine a good time here. Plenty of other excellent curvy roads...

Great topic for all riders to pay attention to, especially the comment on decreasing skills after some time off the bike. There is no substitute for practice and there is is no shame in taking courses or lessons at any level of riding skill. In my short riding career of 51 years, riding both...

It's similar to the process of "double clutching" a large truck when down shifting to make the down shift smooth.

You will find this happens more frequently as you add miles to your body.

David. Wifi was available at all but 2 motels and that was due to their technical issues. Phone reception was mostly good so I was able to speak or text and email with my daughter/office almost everyday so I was not handicapped for work contact. I cannot wait to start planning another ride...

I should have stuck with the duct tape version!

Missed you when Marianne and I met Fred for coffee on my big ride.

Don's right, I go for the high roller stuff when ever I have a choice. Neihart has come to the rescue, thanks, Dave!

I have mislaid my cute little special unlocking screwdriver for my Zumo 550 mount after returning from my big ride and I've searched almost everywhere. Thanks

Fifty years of riding, from Alaska to Nova Scotia to Key West to San Diego, says you would be stupid to do this.
