Thanks, man. I'm really, really looking forward to it!

Bob Just and I stayed to higher-than-average elevations until we dropped out of the foothills southwest of Denver. We then sprinted eastward on C-470 to our respective home air conditioning systems. Thanks, again, to the rally master(s) who successfully wrangled all the rally bits. On an...

I'd stay at the Hub again. After all, until I get myowndarnself updated, spiffed up and re-carpeted, I can't, in good conscience, be too demanding.

Happy birthday, John--have a great ride to NAFO! -Chris

Got back to Denver Sunday at 10:30 p.m. MDT. Petey led me safely through the special hell created by the OK Department of Transportation in Tulsa. On I-70 in eastern CO I ran through a fresh bloody patch of roadkill that was skunk squeezins'. I have yet to sniff the FJR today, but I might be...

I'll be on the road from Denver tomorrow a.m. and should into splash into The Hub Thursday p.m.

Unless you're a fan of bicycle racing, jammed highways and being gouged by lodging and restaurant operators, grab your calendar and mark Aug. 20-26, 2012, as "No Time for Fast Men" in Colorado. Of course, if you want to come and leave lots of money, please do...

Congratulations to all who made the smart move last week by NOT staying too long at the fair. As I did. I hung around northern NM for the Land of Enchantment BMW Riders' weekend rally at Sipapu, the event which shall be forever known as The Rally that Disenchanted the Spirits of Sunny Skies and...

You still have a job? Braggart!

The BMW is not running the "original motor and drive train." As I understand it, the motor was recently rebuilt with larger cylinders, pistons, etc. That is not to diminish the accomplishment of finishing the IBR on that old warhorse.

I know EXACTLY what to think: 'My former friend Sara is an unutterably tedious buzzkill who'd have me die of boredom in a Barcolounger, so I'm going for the gawddamn motorcycle ride of my life!' Disclosure: I am 0-2 in marriage. I do, however, have seven motortoys in the garage that are ready...

Staying hydrated--smart man!

Absolutely required! And if anybody's gonna' look like a terrorist whackjob, it'll be an IBR rider after 10 days on a rally bike. "What's all them 'lectrical wires and boxes fer, boy? Say what? You're homing in on Spooooocane? Now, what's so danged special about Spoooooocane, sickleboy? You...

From Tom's latest report. "Dave Biasotti is Still In the Rally, At Least for Now (BIG SNIP) Hopefully, all of this effort will be sufficient to get Dave to the finish in Spokane. However the new final drive already appeared to be leaking by the time Dave got to Santa Ana last night." Now...

Good. I now have a favorable feeling about that dealer.

Well, color me confused. I thought the honorable Bene Dict was on a 2X.

Nor this one, image 100 of 100: https://jimbud.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/2009...635888848_YSpNF I believe I saw a Hayabusa in the line-up and I'm guessin' it might be guilty.
