Meef - if this word isn't already in your vocabulary, it seems like the sort that you might enjoy flogging someone with.

ADV Dinner will be a cookout at my place!

Figure Bolton Field Airport right now, I'll post my address once we get closer.

I suppose the easiest thing to do is say it's an optional pot-luck; if you want to make/bring something, cool! If you don't/can't, no problem at all, come and enjoy!

1933 Brandigen Ln
Columbus, OH 43228

I'm shooting for meat to be done around 7pm, but show up early, it's all good!

See you all then!

After my aftermarket tail light failed me, and my walmart fix failed as well, I'm back to OEM:


I love how bright it is! A little bulky, but not bad; I may trim it, but I may just take advantage of not roosting myself.

Aaaaand.... the party's about to get off the hook on the big bike too:


Well, ok not really, since I still don't have a skid plate, I can't do much more than I have been doing.

If someone would step up and buy my wheels I'd be able to spring for the skid plate/crash bar setup I want!

I have scumbags stealing hard earned things from me. I vent. Friends step up and offer support. You poke fun....not to add levity, but just for the sake of being a mean asshole. Might be a different story if you knew me, but you don't.

I have a suggestion.

You should go fuck yourself.

I get to run the NRCHA office under a guy the used to work for Red Bull and produced "Last Man Standing Enduro". We bonded over bikes, not horses.

I'll miss you guys!!!!!!!

MikeF, I'm not moving my "stuff" until October (living out of hotels until then) so if you want the TTR until then, it's yours. Get with me soon.

I'll be at the Reservation this week for a final peek of vacation since I won't be seeing one for awhile. We'll also be planning a huge ass party and you're all invited. Details TBA
Congrats, hope it works out for you.

Heidenau K60 Scouts. People seem to love them; decent on-road, decent off-road, and commonly 12,000+ miles per set. This'll be my first experience with them.

They look like heidenaus or Mefo explorers to me, if I had to guess.

Yeah, thought they were one of em. Just looked up the K60's. I decided on Metz saharas for the DR. Only a few bucks more with the coupon and tire sale earlier this year. They must've added a belt recently to the K60s down the middle, never remember them being closed like that from pictures.

Re: Renegade camping
Depends, if a sign like this one is posted nearby, then she'd have said no way

The center rib is only on the 150 width; since it's most commonly used on heavier adventure bikes, the rib is there to smooth out road touring and/or increase life.
