I've been on the BRP and camped. In early June, it's really beautiful. I have been trying to remember the name of the road, (like the parkway) to the north. Anyone? Steve

That's fantastic news. Thanks for passing it on. Anything to avoid Chicago area traffic. that will make the trip out to Don's actually enjoyable. Steve

Gary, Wow, that is very impressive. Can't wait to see her. Steve

Greg, I put a barons rear lowering kit on my 05 RSTD, and did not have to change the side stand. If the barons front lowering kit was installed also, then you would have to have a shorter side stand. There is nothing in the kit except the lowering links, and brackets to change the rear brake mounting. Steve

I'll be heading there from Wisconsin. Really looking forward to this one. Steve

10 minutes behind the throttle felt like I WOULD get a ticket if I owned one. And the brakes were nothing short of amazing. It stopped faster than it took off. But the seating/handlebars wasn't the most comfortable for me. Steve

I have both, a 250 and a 650. The 200/250 would by far be the better to learn on. Good luck to your son, Steve

I've used the coleman hooligan 3 for 2yrs now, and is the best tent so far. Rain fly goes to the ground, vestibule is great for storing all the stuff I pack and easy up and down. AND keeps me dry 2 thumbs up Steve

Holy cow Charlie, That is a gorgeous combo for sure. Enjoy your new ride and see you around somewhere. And I just bought a KLR. Steve

Cougar, Congratulations to you, but it's not downhill yet. Probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. I also quit cold turkey in 87 after 20+ years of a pack a day. I'd say it took a good 5 years to not want to smoke a cig again. Hang in there and yes, you did smell like that. Yuk, ya, I know, I did too. Steve

Not a dumb question at all. FLB is correct in that if you reverse the rear tire, the tread pattern will then match the direction of the front. Reversing the rear and putting it on the front is simply a matter of opinion, or what you feel like doing, and as you know, opinions are like, well, you know, and we all have one. (or more) I stood at a HD dealer down the street a couple years ago and took the same size HD tire, Dunlop 402 MT90B-16 front and rear and stood them next to each other and the tread patter was reversed. Then I took the rear and reversed it and they now were going in the same direction. But to answer you question, that same tire, same size, it is the tread depth that is the difference. Front? 5/32", and rear 9/32". And if you are someone who cares about the width of a WW, the rear is wider. (in that tire) Steve

Whooda thunk it--------Learn something new everyday. Thanks, Steve

Don, or anyone for that matter, have you tried it? I would be interested in seeing how it would work on the my windshield. Maybe I should be the guinne pig. Steve

I used the blue masking tape. Took it right off. Steve

My main plan for next summer is to be riding this highway. and I can't wait. Steve

Great news Bubber! They must have seen that you were the guy for the job. Steve

Just watched the local news and they said that Madison had the same problems. In fact, this morning I stopped at the stop light near my place (we have two) and was watching the lights going the other direction (90 deg) to see when they turned yellow and noticed that the red light was covered with snow. When it did finally change from green to yellow to red, you/they could NOT see the red light. That would be a big heads up knowing that the people coming from the other direction would NOT see the red light. Steve

I'm an hour and a half west of you, flyingfool, and I've got your 8-14"!!!!!!!!!!!, and it's still coming down. Along with the high winds. My body is in pain after two hours of digging out this morning. I'm thinking a tom and jerry and a wirlpool would do the trick. I'd post a pic, but we all know what it looks like. Steve
