    choosing an exhaust system

    Holeshots and Staintune are both nice. Lots of folks are quite happy with the stock mufflers. There isn't a whole lot of difference between different aftermarket markets as far as the sound goes. Just a bit louder and deeper than the OEM. My advice to you is to keep the stockers on until you...

    To WFO from Denver area, leaving 7-25-07

    My brother and I just returned from WFO6 this afternoon and we all had a very nice ride out to PC. There were about seven of us and and everyone had a good time. There was one 'casualty' while out there. One rider's bike went dead on top of a mountain. Ignition switch went bad. But a local...

    First Long Distance Ride

    Big trip, eh? Of course, everything is relative, but I can strongly recommend Long Distance Comfort shorts LDCOMFORT. My last ride was 11,700 miles and no monkey butt. I also used generous amounts of Gold Bond Medicated powder. SOKz are real nice, especially the ones with the silver stuff...

    That should work for me. Traffic might be a bit screwed up down by 104th and 84th avenues, so earlier the better. In case anyone needs it, my cell is 303 947-7641

    USA4Corners Ride

    As I was going through town, the clock on the bank read an hour later than my time, which was set at Eastern Time zone. Also, I stayed at a campground about 10 miles away that also had a big restaurant. The sign in the window stated that the place was open until 9:00 P.M. and it was pretty...

    Synthetic oil use

    I've been using Rotella T in both my bikes with no ill effects. Both still running. No slippage or tickage :) I think I will start using it in my cars also. Another popular NERPT subject is that of filters. I was using one of those Scott 'Performance' permanent filters. Although quite...

    To WFO from Denver area, leaving 7-25-07

    I didn't see one at I-70 and 121 (Wadsworth Blvd), but there is one at the next EXIT WEST That must be the one you are referring to. It is in the vicinity of Kipling. I think you get off at Denver West, but you would need to confirm that with Holiday Inn. It's just a normal neighborhood and...

    UNOBTAINIUM MOJO I have attempted to get on Mitch's waiting list for about six weeks now with no success. Seems the address for his e-mail is invalid or just won't work for me (hotmail) I tried removing the end of the address and sending an e-mail to him via my hotmail, which seemed to at...

    There's a bunch of motels at 120th and I-25. I live just a couple of miles from there. My brother and I will be out in the garage packing up the bikes. Welome to stop by. PM me for my phone number.

    Sounds like no big woop riding on 35 and I like the idea of coooool.

    To WFO from Denver area, leaving 7-25-07

    That sounds interesting. Since you are the expert, how would you compare the travel time on 35 to that portion of 40? Also, how is 40 as a highway? Not a 4 lane mini-slab, I would guess? Whatever route we decide on must be by (near) consensus. Thanks a bunch for the tip.

    To WFO from Denver area, leaving 7-25-07

    Joe, I am definitely making this a day ride and we are looking at 500+ miles at the minimum. That's a good 10 hour run on the slab, so maybe more taking the side roads. But I think that I-70/US40 is the most direct path. We could either meet at Cracker Barrel on 120th/I-25 or a place of your...
