Ha! You may be right. I was picturing it like a runner being bored because they weren't ever getting out to go for a run and Tony shows up and she realizes she just signed up for a perpetual marathon!

Congrats on the new bike! I've been a follower of your exploits BEFORE you retired so I can only imagine the miles you will put on this bike. I wonder if the new FJR said, "Oh Crap! Not this guy! I'll never get any rest!" Just kidding, of course. Ride safe and keep inspiring me.

Another belated welcome! I live in Hopkinsville, KY. I have ridden to Burkesville on Fountain Run (hwy 100) several times, but the only time I've been to Lake Cumberland was when we stopped on the way back from Gatlinburg and stayed at Lure Lodge on Easter Sunday. I was going to say it was a few...

The road to Artist Point looks fun but I don’t know if I’ll try that this trip. I’ll likely come across hwy 3 in BC to Osoyoos after riding the west side of the Koocanusa as recommended to me by Big Sky on this forum many years ago. I followed many of his other suggestions and am very thankful...

Nice ride report. I've done almost all of this in the past but most of it was not as warm, thankfully. Great memories. I'm hopefully headed just east / SE of you next month to explore a bit of BC and a lot of Washington for the first time.

Sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed his posts.

I'm exited for you to get the FJR. You sound like a good fit for it. I just ran across this thread and will make a couple late comments. The weight and balance of the FJR is something you have to be careful with as an "average height" person. I am 5-10 and as I get older sometimes the FJR...

Seems like the points for the bingo were not worth a large amount for the effort required. Kind of fun though? I also was curious on the rule execution for when people found a valid location of the restaurant that expanded into another state than was listed. I speak from experience because KY is...

I'm glad I checked before I typed. The only place listing brisket now is BBQ Shack. We ordered from there a couple weeks ago and the brisket was good. I thought the Woodshed had brisket but they don't. Woodshed has great food though. The other place I like shows permanently closed now. Since...

Welcome. I'm from just NW of you in Hopkinsville

I missed the rider in Maryland, I guess. They are going to be close to the final time. And the rider in Middlesex hasn’t moved since early this morning so something is up there.

If I’m looking correctly, there may be no penalty points given for late finish. The New York and Tennessee riders will be DNF and everyone else should make it by 8:00 barring any surprises.

Several more headed that way...

^ This... I've sent this same picture snapped from my phone to friends that ride and kind-of get it and friends that definitely don't get it. I think it's a great indication of the excellent puzzle created by the rally masters this year. If I remember right, Key West was often considered a...

I'm enjoying following the rally again this year. How many days are Leg 2 and is it back to Tulsa or in Denver?

...continued More of Canyonlands If you go to Canyonlands, you need to stop at Deadhorse Point on the way out. Another really awesome view. We went over the La Sal mountains and up 141 to Grand Junction. This is a great road between the canyon bluffs. It's so fun on a motorcycle. We...

...Continued Leaving monument valley On the way to Moab we stopped at Goosenecks State Park just SW of Moki Dugway which is an interesting view. I didn't have my wife with me so I thought Moki Dugway would be easy going, but I found myself nervous on it. I was not as recovered mentally from...

I planned this trip exactly a year after our wreck in May of 2022 where I totalled the Goldwing. My wife's right arm is over 90% recovered and her left wrist is in good shape again. She still can't move her ring and pinky fingers and they don't think she'll get those back. She's still not been...

Yep, it's a 2007. I have not had ANY diag failure codes. I guess I got the TPS diag process from another site. Here it is: - hold select and reset while turning key on for 5-10 seconds. - release both buttons - press both again and after 2-3 seconds the display shows d1:01 and a two digit...

I just got back from a trip on the FJR riding around CO, NM, AZ and UT with my nephew on his S10. It's the first long trip of any kind I've taken on the FJR in 3 or more years. My wife and I were riding the wing on all our long trips before our accident a year ago and the MT10 replaced the...
