I don't even recognize mine at the moment....I have all of my over the road gear bolted on...I'll post a few pictures later. It's a fun bike...awesome motor...and actually handles fairly well for a big bike. I mean, it's no SS...but it still does pretty well through the twisty bits if you've got the stones to push. I'm looking around for a used F800GS...or something equivalent...I have alot of lightweight gear leftover from hiking when I lived back east...just need an offroad capable bike and I'm in business...or at least enough to get out there and figure out all of the things that I DON'T know and SHOULD to be a "real" ADV rider. ![]() |

I've found there are ADV ride reports on every type of bike imaginable. Anybody who would laugh at a report done from an M109 wouldn't be welcome on ADV. Run what ya brung.

Friday = 251 miles (took the looong way from Tulsa to White Rock)
Saturday = 116 miles of a mixture of everything from the nastiest single track Arkansas has to offer to asphalt twisties leading to the World Famous Oark Cafe. Sunday = 183 miles home to Tulsa Me = one happy camper ![]() |

I had a pretty good weekend in Arkansas too! We rode everything between Clarksville and Fayetteville that was paved. LOL
![]() The Busa has another 975 miles on it after this weekend. I saw alot of DS guys. I was keeping an eye out, but never saw you Krabill.

That weekend is one of the few where I'm not traveling somewhere for work. If I end up being sent somewhere I'm going to be uber pissed. I'll probably make it a day trip on 6/11, ride down, hang out for a couple hours, then head back. My schedule has been absolutely nuts with a lot of last minute crap coming up (for example, apparently I'm flying to Chicago this week - that wasn't actually confirmed until about 20 minutes ago *grumble*) Anyone from here going?

Their aint crap here for going off road. Flat lands and it's owned. I do drive by the plowed fields and wonder what it would be like to go across them on a bike and 4x4.

I wound up doing about 750 miles this week-end through Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri.
We FLEW down to Grove Friday...we were late leaving Wichita but made it to Grove, OK before dark...it did require a bit of "extra credit" pace to pull that off but no performance awards were issued so it was all good. ![]() We left Grove early on Saturday....hit up Tallequah...had a slight delay in Kansas, OK as Michael lost the toe peg off his shifter...we bought a battery terminal kit from the only business in "town"...a convenience store...and jury rigged one of the bolts from the kit along with a counter nut into the shifter. It wasn't pretty but it lasted him the rest of the trip. Headed east out of Tallequah to Fayetteville then on to Huntsville, AR...rode up the Pig Trail to Eureka Springs...rode around Eureka Springs before stopping for lunch at Bubba's Barbeque. I thought the Pig Trail was pretty over rated for twisties...I mean, it was ok...but it was no where near as fun 62 north out of Eureka Springs...or Route 90 in Missouri. Didn't wind up taking any pictures....was on the bike full time. Perfect weather...good friends...great roads....just a perfect week-end. |
