  1. I'd suggest you look into a VFRness from wire-my-bike. And get an up-to-date R/R.
  2. Thank you very much Miguel for all you've done. This place has been like a second family for me. I'm aging out of mc riding as well. You are the only person in my life to give me the shirt of his back! I'll never forget you.

  4. If my memory serves me right I passed that way while the road was under construction with traffic reduced to one lane while the oncoming lane was closed. A couple of times I managed to filter to the head of the the waiting line and allowed to be the first to proceed when our lane was opened. I had the whole road to myself for quite a while. That made this the best day of that long trip. Not equaled since.
  5. Beautiful indeed. The last two pictured invokes images of the landscape described in one of my favorite books: "The Plague Dogs" by Richard Adams.
  6. Welcome to the asylum 98VFR from The Land Of Interesting Weather. You obviously have great taste in mc's. Best generation in the fastest color.
  7. Welcome to the asylum from The Land Of Interesting Weather. That's beautiful example you have. And at 4,000 mileage it is a newborn. And it's in the fastest color.
  8. Nice setup.
  9. At least you will not see another one like yours. Unique in all respects.
  10. Thank you Mister Bill. Wish I could have been with you. Great report.
  11. So you drew the eyes on the tape? Nice work. And the eyes do appear to be looking to where you want to go.
  12. I love your headlight covers. Sure beats the blue painters tape I use to cover my fragile bits during track time for the Advances Riders courses at the local track at DCTC.
  13. Welcome to the asylum from The Land Of Interesting Weather Sparky0227. You do have great taste in MCs. Wishing you safe and fun riding.
  14. Welcome to the asylum VFR800P. That is quite the unique machine you have there.
  15. Welcome to the asylum ROOTS. You do have great taste in MCs.
