Great itinerary! I'm more than a little envious - hope you catch good weather. Bring a nice camera, you are going to see some spectacular views. (Unless you miss them by concentrating on the road...

You have been given good advice about roads, routes, etc. One last point - you are coming during what is usually a rainy season. (I, personally, will be in the area the week before you arrive.) ...

My thought is that it is generally more useful to ask for thoughts and opinion about an item under consideration BEFORE you purchase it.

Your question is still valuable, though, as it may...

I'll bet it was. When mine was running well, it was awesome. But keeping it running "in the zone" was a challenge, and a few miles of (daily) urban commuting always seemed to leave it with at...

In the US, pay by credit card at the pump is a capability built into at least 95% of our gas pumps, maybe more. Even at the smallest mom/pop sort of general store that sells gas. I...

It always comes as a shock to New Yorkers, but the United States is not New York, and New York is NOT the United States.

I don't know all the laws of the state of New York, but in many states in...

Oh, I've read Stig's reports before. They usually come just about the time I "winterize" my bike and revive my sno-blower ... Which, as cruel fate would have it, is also an F-model. (Farm and...

All The Gear, All The Time. A saying many of us who advocate such use to try and explain ourselves and perhaps inspire those who don't feel the same way.

"There was a feller at work, Harley rider, that gave up riding when Californy passed the helmet law. He must have really enjoyed riding to let such a small inconvenience take the joy out of his...

I'm not sure I really want to know the answer here, but ... what, exactly, is a "northern hemisphere Effer?" Or said another way - how can I qualify?

OUTSTANDING!!

Three + years ago I went into a BMW-Ducati-Triumph dealership, and I wasn't looking for a BMW all. But I left with an F800ST and I am still very happy with it. Good luck with your...

I jumped onto webbikeworld to check something else out, and was simply stunned!! As soon as I recovered just a bit of my wits, I thought of you ...

I am SOOOOO HAPPY this morning! [:P][:P][:P]

I am really happy to know you are planning a comeback. As you say, it won't matter a bit if you get on and then get right back off, as long as it is on your terms.

Next bike decisions have to be...

Fire in the box last night and rain mixed with snow this am. First fire and first snow of the season. Dammit!

Enjoy your spring and summer Trev.

DWS - Thanks, I caught that one earlier.

Pogi - I don't know about the Steppenwolf thing - don't you think that's been done to death by now? And maybe "distinguished gentlemen" should try to...

Thank you Pogi! I was curious, and I enjoyed the pictures. So much it motivated me to search for a video of the Singapore event. Here it is back at you, if you haven't seen it.

Tonya, I don't understand the question.

If you are asking about the date of the 2013 ride, it was on 29 Sep. If you are referring to some significance of the date, it eludes me.
