    Sad Day Today

    It's the shitz when crap like this happens. I understand how pissed one can be after flipping 13k, then w/in only a few weeks, by no fault of your own, your bike gets dumped. I bought a new pickup back in 93. Had it less than a week. After lunch at local diner, went out to drive back to work...

We topped off our fuel and started heading southwest, down through eastern WY. It was a very hot day. We stopped in Cheyenne for fuel. Pulled...

    NAFO Law Enforcement

    No tickets here either. I made a concious effort to let Wambow lead most of the trip. He is more conservative in his riding style and that helped keep me in good graces. I think that was a wise choice for me, being so far away from home, I did not need to take any risks. I did find myself lying...

    Local Bike Shops

    I had to get a front tire while in Golden. My Pilot Power 2CT was cupping real bad. I do not know exactly why...as I maintained the pressure at 40. As best I can honestly tell, I never rode it under 40..that I know of. Maybe the fjr is too heavy a pig for that power sport tire. Anyway, it was to...

    Toll booths on a moto

    Actually thanks for posting this. I've been wondering the same thing. There are no toll roads here in MS and I know on my return from NAFO I'll be on the KTP for quite some distance. I like the idea of folding up a buck or 2 in the glove velcro thing, I may try that..sounds like a convenient...
