I can't think of how many times I've probably said, "If 3M puts their name on it, you can rely on it."

I'm of the understanding that powder coating is more durable. The other thing I was thinking about was what a GS rider at the rally had done. He sprayed his painted bits on his 1200 with a rubberized...

I did the same with a booster plug. The rain started before I could test ride. At least it's easy to uninstall if things don't work. (No time to find the appropriate smiley)
See you at Chubbys!!!...

Skychs, are you leaving on Friday...

I'm planning on leaving the west end early (8 ish) for the rally. I'd love to pre-ride/check out the DS ride with you. I'm glad to hear you've gotten some time in on the 800. BTW, did you get the...

Thanks again for the help today Guy. The fuse holder was definitely an issue.
I may need to pull the wheel off and have you balance it for me. I'm sure the balance won't be so noticeable in the...

Sounds like the guy may have been running from the cops. I doubt all that manpower was used to wrangle a trespasser. Whether we ask permission to use this place or not, others are going to use and...

That was awesome!
I got home about 3:30. I'm writing down what I need to bring for next year. My whole house smells like a campfire!
Thanks to Steve, Rhonda, Ryan, Faith, Kevin, Rob, and Barb for making the whole...

Thanks Scott.
Google came up with Bartow. MapSource has a route to Laurel Fork at 25 miles.
I should quit trying to plan this out too much. It kind of violates the spirit of LF. Am I right? :D

Hey...
I coming in (on my bike) from Richmond and want to gas-up as close to LF as possible. What are the best (or only) options SE of LF? I'd like to get beer and ice as late as possible also. :freaky

Blooch and ddlewis, if it had been the GS, it would have been totaled. I shudder to even imagine what that would have been like. It almost was like hitting a fencepost. I think it would have just...

Thanks everyone.
Once again, proper gear averted severe injury. My wife viewed the video and has not demanded I sell my bikes. (Whew!!!)
I think the replays of Kevin Wares' injury helped temper things!!!
So far...
