A couple of weeks ago we were seeing early color on 123 north of Russelville between Hagarville and sand gap....which by the way, I believe rates as one of the nicest rides in Ark. We rode the same area as you are talking for a few days before moving on, we stayed at the south side of Dardenelle. Try 123 and cross over to 16 and back...nice day ride

Great info, and much appreciated!

Bummer on the wives? Thanks for the info and the offer of the lodging upgrade. I guess we'll see more as time nears. I have always wanted to see Utah but may have to try next summer? Unless weather seems good as we progress:thumbsup:!

The wife and I have an opening of sorts and are throwing together a trip out to California for 3 weeks (roundtrip). We have a son attending school in Berkeley and we will tow our bunkhouse "pop up" as our hotel. Time constraints and getting the businesses set are making planning difficult. Just not enough time. We are planning on leaving East Texas Friday and head??? I wanted to hit Utah and pick up an extra wife or two. I will have to play that one by ear....but seriously, I did want to head north as the weather seems to be okay at the moment. I will play that by ear. A friend in Colorado said to avoid the State as higher elevations are getting snow. I guess what I am asking in a round about way.....any suggestions, routes, sights, eateries....anything? We are more country than city and love to ride and take in sites as well as shorter hikes and nice sites. We have California mostly planned as the son has worked on it. Any info or ideas would really be appreciated! Oh, I owe Buddy a hello from our recent Ark. trip. Hard to forget that day in Paris!!!lol

Good advice, Thanks. I am blowing a little cold on this...economy, age, cost etc. etc. My Venture is running well and I think I may re-look at a wing at a later date. I may call and tell hime I'm laying off to see what he has to say? Never know?
-
I might offer him $7000 and see what he says. Heck, I'm not really rushed!
-
You may well be right. I thought I read somewhere that the 98's were fuel injected? It's been a busy couple of weeks so I may have dreamt it?

Not sure if this is the place to post this but what the hell! My brothers friend is ready to put his wing on the market and has said he will sell it to me for $8000 It is a GL1500 1998 with 10,000 miles. It has been garage kept and is immaculate. Not a lot of upgrades but it has a backrest and chrome brake covers etc. Is this a decent price in anyones opinion. I have been looking for a while, just not real hard. It is fuel injected and has new tires. I can try and post some pictures.

Let us know how that works out for ya!!! Heck, I can never get her to lay down? I have tried crossing th chains and quite frankly...the 4" spread doesn't allow for any crossover. I do like the idea of wrapping them but I would imagine you have to be careful not to shorten them too much.

I tow trailers on my venture and have the Diamond hitch set up. It is a bit of a pain but I lay on my back for a few seconds and slide the hooks up in there. It is a bit of a pain but I have got it down pretty well. Maybe I need to train the wife to do it?
-
Good to know!

Too late folks, I ended up buying the tire.
-
I have a friend with a VTX and his tires (c.t.) set at 45 pounds. Apparently his rims are a little different in design. I sure would like to hit lower pressures. Thanks for the info.

I ended up buying the Kumho off Chris on the forums. Maybe I should start a thread for this but lets see what happens here. The last Kumho I bought seated at close to 100 #'s. I ended up with a broken belt that created a slow speed wobble that took me a while to find. I am bound and determined to mount this with less pressure. Clean the rim, warm the tire and lubricate the rim with tire lubricant. What, if anything has anyone else done to get it to mount at lower pressure? My brothers mounted at under 80#'s and he loves it, I rode his bike and it was just fine.

After seeing your avatar I decided to stay away from e-bay!
