So JEALOUS!!!! We've been trying to ride there for 3 years!!! Spring Break is perfect because temps aren't too warm in the valley yet. We planned a few hikes in the valley so we don't want to go when it's 120 degrees. Besides riding at that temp isn't fun either. Might have to switch to...

Yes, "conveniently' GM wasn't available. How did you know it was him? lol SSA is still down. A Dragon has to do the registration for the site. He is the only one with the credentials. GM already paid the domain fee..... ugh!!! Luckily, the admin on this site is on top of things...

We've been married 27 years - he's put up with me this long, the least I can do is give him and his 600 pound bike a push start. Besides, he fills up my bike with gas and maintains its. The least I can do is push start him a few times (ok, 5 in a day but who's counting).

I was able to see them. I'm logged into my Google account, so that might be why I could see them. The flowers were beautiful. Did you switch to car? We were thinking about doing that, but we really want to ride....

We're thinking about having another go at it this weekend. His stator is suppose to be in by Friday. He plans to install it & then we will head South. We just have to line up a dogsitter. I''m off school until Monday....

Condolences to everyone involved. Unfortunately, this is the price we can pay for enjoying our passion. Like Scott said, always ride like you are invisible. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

HeeHee. The owner of our local Triumph dealer loved my story. He laughed. We had a MotoGP race watching BBQ at a fellow rider's house last night. I told the story there. Our friend with the Kawi with the fuel pump issue warned me that when my bike breaks down he is going to give me a lot...

Thanks Clif, We thought it was a sign that we weren't suppose to go to Death Valley that day. The thing is this was our third attempt at getting there. The two previous Spring Breaks we tried to ride to Death Valley, but weather prevented us from going. You are right about Interceptors...

A Triumph, a Honda, and a Kawasaki went on a three day ride. Guess which one returned alive? The Triumph, of course. Day One was great! Temps were cool, but not bad. Rode one of our favorite road on the way out of town - Geiger Grade to Virginia City. We did a roundabout way South...

Interesting article. However, there are alot of different bikes to consider besides Harley's and adventure tourers. The author was a bit biased to the cruiser mindset. I prefer performance over "style" (code for stereotypical H-D rider). I prefer a sport touring bike like the FZ6 or my...

Cool! Let me know how the bloom is. We are going one way or the other - ride or drive.

Kenny, I went for a ride yesterday. Rich rode dirt with a friend. I went with some other friends. We rode up to Virginia City on Geiger Grade. Some snow at the top. Around 1 foot banks on the side at the top. The truck route was sandy. Not fun. Did a sighting lap. Had lunch in Carson at...

You are correct. This is a problem. I am very aware of it, and ALWAYS start in neutral. No exceptions and no "senior" moments allowed. Blah I will threaten to take the bike to the Triumph dealer to get it fixed and then my hubby will put a new switch on it.(works for everthing - handyman...

I'm no expert like these fine gentlemen replying to you, but are you trying to start it in gear or neutral? Neutral with clutch pulled in and kickstand up? I don't mean to say that you don't know what you are doing, but we all occassionally have "senior" moments. I had starting problems on...

Hopefully, one of those pics includes one of Rossi & me. Do you think I could win BOTM with that?

I bought tickets for COTA today!! Yippee!!! My bucket list to see Moto 2, Moto 3, and MotoGP. Valentino will be waiting for me..... We watched MotoGP at Laguna Seca twice, but Moto 2 & 3 don't race there :disapprove:, so I am excited to see them finally. We will be attending qualifying on...

Happy Happy! (as we say in the States). Anniversary of your 29th?

Mr. A does all these things for me, I have a far more stressful job than him. He is almost always home before me too and has dinner ready :cheer:

You are cheating Kenny, with all that heated gear and stuff.

Long underwear under your regular gear will do wonders (as long as it isn't vented). Someone once told me to wear latex gloves under my riding gloves to keep hands warm (like glove liners). I haven't tried it but worth a try. 15 minutes isn't long but my experience with cold weather riding...
