    What does that word mean?

    I *would* be out there riding if it weren't for spending the last 5 fucking weeks with an acute case of labyrinthitis. I still have trouble walking a straight line so craziness on two wheels is just not an option :cry

    I am sooooooo f'n ready to get out of this chair, zip up the electric vest, turn the grip heat on high and go exploring!

    If this crap goes on for another week you can write to me care of Warm Springs :deal

    I keep searching and reading Baja threads. If not this coming year I'm planning the next. My brother and I are picking up our trail from last year in Seattle next summer and riding the coast south to San Diego. Our plan the following year is Baja to complete the west coast. Of course, we will need to gear up differently. My Wee might make it depending on routes selected but his softtail would suffer.

    I have 2 years to acquire and outfit a DR650. Duke

    New to Adventure Rider, and motorbikes. I'm in Bozeman and I just found this site. There is a lot of cool stuff here. I am looking at getting a Yamaha wr205r or something similar come springtime. Would there be any "tame" rides in the area that I could tag along on?

    I have been out at pipestone a couple of times in the last two weeks, all the lower two track is in great shape, dry and no snow. I would encourage any one to head out that way for a good afternoon of riding in the dirt. :freaky

    Oooo! Cool. Would someone do me a favor and scout out a good spot where the MT1000 could stay overnight at Pipestone and get a GPS coord?

    Nothing special, just a good spot relatively flat for a ways where 100 people can spread out.

    Hmm, I'm thinking we should have a beer night at one of the local pubs (still too much snow at my house, I think). Anyone up for that?

    I was thinking of Pipestone until this storm blew in last night. I've got the Gasser all ready to go. Bozomoto Paul, I heard you were looking at buying a house so you could finally store all those bikes:evil

    I'm still stuck, have only ridden once in the last 3 months and it's making me iNSaNe!

    Having old guy problems with vertigo and the only time I took a bike out was to charge the battery on the GS. Almost dropped it while I was still in the garage :cry

    I don't even own a battery charger because I've always ridden both bikes all year 'round. I'm going bonkers here as we're finally getting the right drugs to work on the vertigo and now the snow is dumping. Even out here in Three Forks where we rarely have snow on the ground we've got a good 6" or so right now. I imagine Pipestone has more. Not sure about Radersberg, I think they're a little bit drier than here but wouldn't be surprise if they were under a blanket too.

    Someone turn up the beer and let the bench racing begin...

    Anyone who wants to have a look at three potential WestFest logos to help choose should come down to the Crystal Bar tonight at about 6pm.

    Definitely not going to make it, one of these days,up in Whistler working at the games, just watched Demong and Spillane finish 1 and 2 in nordic combined, Gold and Silver for the USA. Way cool, an Austrian started first and Spilllane 34 seconds back, demong a little over 40 seconds. They just chased him down and put the hammer down on the last hill and crushed the guy. Two Americans entering the olympic stadium damn near all alone, not another skier even close.
