    Not a "Reuben Run" but "The Last Hurrah" - Labor Day Weekend 1-5 September 2022

    Pro: The Last Hurrah was an great opportunity to get together with old friends and to celebrate the memory of those who would no longer walk among us. My thanks to Big John who pulled this event together, the folks who followed his lead and worked to make this event such a success, and to...

    Not a "Reuben Run" but "The Last Hurrah" - Labor Day Weekend 1-5 September 2022

    I try to keep up, but I’m not always successful. In any event I finally checked into the forum, saw the registration notice, and am now signed up. Should be rolling in sometime late that Thursday!

    2022 CFR Nakusp

    Arrived home in the Bay Area last Saturday. Total journey was 4,301 miles and spent a couple of delightful days in Denver visiting one of my boys! I much appreciated again seeing so many familiar faces from the little community we’ve built together over the years, sharing what we love to do...

    Thanks for the link, Tyler. I would have shown up at the border clueless! Checked into the Lodge about an hour ago. Nice to be back! See you all when you get here. Stay safe…

    Good one, Adam! :lol: As I began reading the first words, they were coming across in Morgan Freeman’s voice… :) So I should be rolling in sometime Wednesday afternoon, and am happy to volunteer and help out anywhere needed. Safe travels everyone! Cheers!

    Not a "Reuben Run" but "The Last Hurrah" - Labor Day Weekend 1-5 September 2022

    Booked a room at the Best Western today. Glad to learn that all the Double Queen rooms are already taken. Sure to be a good gathering!

    Who Has the Lowdown on Roseville Yammy?

    So did you get the Adaptive Cruise Control? Makes those bumper-to-bumper episodes almost bearable... ;-)

    No, Mike. I suspect that a picture would in no way add worth here...

    Powerlet out of business, Warm and safe?

    Yea, I walked into that one earlier this year, "ordering" an item from that Powerlet website that was still active. Took PayPal almost 3 weeks to refund my payment once I contested it. You'd think that PayPal would put them on a "naughty" list to refuse such transactions, but I guess they...

    SOLD - Dean Tanji aux fuel tank

    Wow. It's been almost 10 weeks. I never would have believed it wouldn't have sold during that time! So what are you now offering the tank for?

    First impressions of Neotec II w/SRL headset

    This is my first modular helmet, and to my mind, the biggest safety factor is just in having the discipline to keep the chin bar down and locked as appropriate; otherwise, it's just a open face helmet (aka "My face'll be fine in the case of an accident. I have a great dental plan" :-). For...

    First impressions of Neotec II w/SRL headset

    I actually quite like the Neotec II / SRL. It rode with me through a 13 state, 2 province, 6,300 mile trip this past summer. It's certainly one of the quietest helmets that I can remember wearing. Especially with the attention to sealing around the neck. Good ventilation. Sun visor worked just...

    Bike Pulls to left

    I'm a big fan of "hands off" touring (yeah, I know. Perhaps not best practice ). On my past bikes, including my 05, I'd steer by just balancing for hours on end, when slabbing it. Have caught the amused attention of passing cagers on occasion, but none from LEOs (so far :-) But my 15es has...

    In memorium...Richard Christensen

    My thanks to you, Susan, and my heartfelt condolences. The glow so many have lent me, during the brief times our lives have crossed, warms me still. Yet those moments always somehow come to seem just too few and too brief. And the pictures I have of those times are even fewer still. But they...
