Griff beat me to it.  If that is Roan Mtn, I'm pretty sure that spot is where I witnessed the greatest fall colors I've ever seen in the Appalachians. This thread is fun!!

CO National Monument is a really cool place.  You can spend 2 hours or 2 days there.  Free with a national parks pass.

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.  Without a doubt, this is the most picturesque road in the Ozarks.  Many riders skip it because there are other ways to get "from here to there".  For anyone not familiar, do NOT pass this one up next time. And now a question, please.  Is it my understanding that...

Nope.  It is in the Ozarks, though.

I found that road with the Redfishes at the same time, in route to YFO 2017.  That power plant was way cool from the distance, but I was elated to find that road for a different reason.  I wanted to see some Joshua Trees (first for me).  Going to JTNP was going to be 200-ish miles out of our...

Duane: I believe I know this one.  Is it Hwy 164 in Nevada, otherwise known as the Joshua Tree Highway?

I was going to offer a suggestion earlier, but didn't feel it my place.  I like the tag game idea: 1.  Someone offers a "name that place" 2.  Whomever guesses correctly first gets to offer the next place. 3.  If that person would prefer not to offer the next place, then it reverts back to the...

That is a fine example of a later model of a very long generation of perhaps the best Jag ever built, in my not so humble opinion.  Others performed better, but with an ever present risk of catching fire, at least in my book, that puts them to the back of the line.   I don't have a lot of...

To clarify, when I mentioned "left over stock", I mean, well... parts.  At some point (in 2020), an assembly of parts becomes a "2021" and gets a VIN accordingly. I hope they make FJRs until 2060.  By then, I will be done (in more ways than one). But I really think this is it.

My opinion is that either (a) leftover stock from 2020, in which nobody bought a bike (thanks COVID, Hurricanes, Locusts, and ______), and/or (b) Yammie way of saying that they are not going to put any more R&D into the FJR1300.  Not even a marketing study for color.  When they are gone, they...

Hard to believe I'm the first to report this, but here goes! https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport-touring/models/fjr1300es

What's the status on house repairs?

Thanks for checking out my ride report, friends. Dudewado, I've definitely been to Petit Jean and all points in between.  There's not much of Arkansas I haven't seen, and on the west side of the state, everything is excellent!

KISS works for me - thanks Don!!

Bounce - thanks for this information, and especially for explaining it at a level I can understand. If your suspicions are true, this presents a challenge for me.  I write all of my ride reports with the simple "[img]" tags.  I have a"form" created with a few hard breaks between every 20...

Thanks very much Don - Obviously, you grabbed my post from another forum and pasted it here. Bounce - What is the difference between "Rich Text" and "plain text"? My "rich text" word document with the "" embedded photos works everywhere else. My apologies - I'm just too uneducated to know.

content deleted. Got to figure out "plain text"..... (sigh)

Ya know - in all the years I've ridden Arkie, well over a dozen times on Push Mountain, and I've NEVER ridden that section of Hwy 9.  But I see it on the map, and the next time I'm up there, I definitely will.  Thanks S/R!! If I interpret the O/P literally, then the most technical road I've...

Having lived in and traveled Louisiana for all of my 55 years, I'm afraid I've never been to "Detwiley Parish", nor anywhere within it. Tongue firmly planted in cheek, your point is none the less well taken.

I'm on my 3rd FJR.  On each one, I have conducted two experiments - one on purpose, the other unintentionally: 1.  For each bike, when I knew I was close to hitting "reserve", I circled a gas station so that I could know with a fair amount of accuracy, how much fuel I had left at reserve.  On...
