    Bike Won't Start

    Cometman, Thank you for the reply. Yes, I checked with the dealer and my bike is on the recall list. I will take it to them for the recall item. I am not sure if the recall item is what's causing the problem though. Hopefully, if the grounding spider is the issue the dealer won't say it's...

    3 Day Jaunt - Calgary to B.C.

    WOW! Very nice report and pics. Makes me feel like I already did the ride. With no mishaps I will be heading there on Friday. Would you know if 93 north to the 5 is a better ride than the 1 to the 5? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Happy and safe riding.

    ZION and BRYCE Canyon National Park

    I saw the dummy in the bronco two years ago. I did hit the brakes, then I laughed as I rode by. Looks like it was a very nice ride. Thanks for sharing the trip.

I would do the border to border but, my riding partner is only up for 500-600 mile days. I pushed him...
