peteinpa Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Eagerly waitng for that weather to get here. Too hot last week and this week so far to ride. Got a light shower today, all that did was jack up the humidity to near 100%! YUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the orange block under the bike, wedged into my skid plate. No brake strap, but the leaver has the locker on it. bike was in gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in the "flats" IA, MN, KS, etc. Now that I've been in PA since 87 it looks so flat out there. I've been on a road trip (car) to Oshkosh WI. last year and forgot how flat it is. Every hiway overpass is a scenic overlook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every hiway overpass is a scenic overlook. For the annual EAA Fly In. I used to ride or fly up and camp out. Oshkosh becomes the busiest airport in the world for a week! A lot of pilots ride or visaversa Ala Top Gun. I'm from San Diego in an adopted way (long story), and we'd go park on the shoulder of highway 15 when the 6th Fleet had homecoming, as the stick jockeys would fly in ahead and come in so low over 15 to land at Miramar NAS you could almost jump up and touch they're tails. After a couple of hours you were almost deaf even with ear plugs and/or nauseated from their exhaust. It was a game being chased off by either SDPD or CHPs. The carriers tie up on the Bay side of Coronado Island. I was ST1s assistant Armorer. When the fleet is in MNAS is the world's largest fighter base. SD County is a Cafe racers paradise. The ride up and down Mt. Palomar and around Julian was a weekly affair. Also more horses and golf courses per square mile and per capita than almost anywhere. And if you surf, dive or fish!!! Best weather in the world! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted September 18, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted September 18, 2022 More to come, but... Garmin said it would Avoid Unpaved Roads. Garmin lied. Ohio River Ferry @fddriver2 - this is what I want for my next Medic Rescue vehicle. (Posted in a town of 4500). Or to paraphrase Die Hard, looks like the Sheriffs have got themselves an RV. The TN River Valley between Pickwick and Kentucky Lakes has fantastic roads. I think I finally cracked this nut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
