Premium Member fr8dog Posted March 17, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted March 17, 2020 Stayed close to home. Headed west, maybe southwest from Kuna towards Wilson Peak, ran out of road. Kept going a mile or two then turned around. Went down towards Silver Spring, same thing. On an appropriate bike I could have kept going. Not sure where I would have ended up, but... Tomorrow I'll stay on the pavement. Looks like out of Caldwell there could be a few good roads. Maybe head to Horseshoe Bend then head home. I think any decent riding requires some elevation. Still a little chilly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite road in that area is 21 going to Lowman and Stanley. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks good. I've been to Lowman and then back down 55. Got a ticket on that ride my first month here. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good ride. Rode it back in November. Got me a welcome to Idaho ticket. 70 in a 50 heading out of Lowman in the canyon. A little sketchy, but fun near Lowman. Low 40's snow and ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted March 17, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted March 17, 2020 I used to attend an annual "Ride to Eat" event in Horseshoe Bend called the Chiliburger Run. There's a riverside restaurant there that made a pretty awesome chili burger. Looking at Google it appears the place is now called "Locking Horns Riverside Restaurant," I don't recall if that was the name when I went there, so maybe it's changed ownership. This pic is from the 2003 event. That's my TT600 in the foreground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next year, I'll organize a western ride event here . This summer, we will be locked in our homes, waiting for the military supply drops. 1 Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the state trooper? He got me last summer coming down banner summit. Rumor is that he gave his own mother a speeding ticket. He lives in Lowman. Are you on the Facebook group chicken strips and lattes? It's a local ride group.

Saw me put my ear plugs back in, helmet on then pulls up beside me and starts talking. I say hold on and take everything off again. Asks me if I like hot springs. Said I'd never been. He points behind me. I guess they were down some steps from where I was at. Wrote me up and then small talk. Geez. I know, maybe he was hitting on me. Ha. Weirdo. Lowman looks like it could be Kentucky. No offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to, to see what the kids were up to. Saw it and then didn't really want to know what they were doing. That's a funny name. You making it up? You saw my rear tire?

Mostly Bosian's trying to get away from Boise. And yes, he is weird. I expect him to go off and shoot some people when things get rough, and then stand there and talk to them as they bleed out. 1 Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
