And I thought nobody read my posts. I don't post on too many threads since I don't buy a new bike every year, or even every decade. I haven't done a mod since I installed new shocks years ago. My...

In Marco's original thread, someone wanted to race down that road. I wanted to bring up the difference between going up and down. I prefer going up myself.

I'd rather ride around Utah for 15 days and wind up at the Mormon Temple and be preached at for several hours than ride to the Arctic Circle. Couple years ago, I went to a Ducati dealer for a lecture...

I'm Not Gonna Lay It Down

Have you ever stalled your bike at a green light? I do it at least twice a year. Once I was in front of three other riders. Just pull in the clutch and thumb the starter, and peal away smartly before...

Tombs? Out here, that's a prospect pit. There are thousands of them in the western US. Some mining districts have dozens of abandoned mining shafts. And some shafts are hundreds of feet deep.

Blackbird. The carb ones go for $3K around here, with the FI ones around $4K. Still a CBR, but smoother, faster and way more comfortable.

Why slow down when you can pull over and stop? Bikes can pull over in places where cars can't. It's unbelievable how many people I see taking pictures of scenery from their moving car. As a...

I saw those recoil-less rifles mounted on the back of Jeeps in Vietnam. I was a tank driver and we would sometimes guard ammo convoys heading up along Route 1. They could move quickly around the...

In the late 70's I worked in the Idarado Mine. We entered the mine above Ouray, worked under the mountains, and the ore came out to the mill at Telluride. That road you highlighted is the Million...

I get caught in the rain a lot. On corners, I just lean off the bike a little more to keep the bike more upright. Most of the roads out here are tar and chip which aren't affected much by rain. The...
