I see a lot of members traveling all over the place. I for one would have loved to know that other then sleeping on the welcome center Between Norfolk VA and Dismal swamp state park in NC. There were members houses, near by ( a warm Bed or even a place to pop open a tent. ) would have been better then sleeping curb side. Is there a way to log in on a map, (Google maps) plot your route. and see if anyone, would offer a room or a place to drop your tent )? Like to anyone that was riding through, Vero Beach FL, my home is a VR House. I know there is a List of were people live, But I was thinking from an offering stand point, other then having to call someone, out of the blue.

The OEM shock on my 03 Venture finally gave out. Ive read just about every thread on the subject and determine another OEM shock is out. Now to choose between two popular replacements; Works vs Hagon. Based on my initial contact with both companies, online research and the feedback here, Im going with Hagon and the remote pre-load adjuster. Ill be traveling to Southern California about the time when this custom shock arrives so Ill visit thier office and pick it up live.....

For $0.01 each I'm pleased, so far. When they arrived, I thought how can 3 covers be in a package this small. Oh Well!!! They are not something I would use long term, but they will be perfect for traveling. The won't take up much space and will be great for use over night in a motel parking lot.

Thanks to KIC for getting us intouch with his father to help us out while we visited old Tucson. The wife and I did 3,306 miles, visited Arizona, Neveda, and New Mexico. Went to Old Tucson studios, Hoover dam, Grand Canyon, and White sands. Got some Bad fuel my first day out. Worked it self out after a few fill ups and some STP. Almost lost a horn and a helmet hook but got both fixed. What a fun week of traveling.

Hello Everyone: Anyone traveling from the East to the West that might consider traveling through Nebraska on the way to or from Cody. If interstate travel is not your bag? I would reccommend Scenic Hwy 20 in the northern part of the state or Hwy 30 on the south end such as at North Platte then Hwy 92 (Ash Hollow) Oregon Trail route at Ogallala. Hwy 92 will bring you past historic Chimney Rock near Bayard Ne. If you would consider overnighting here in Scottsbluff on the 22nd or possibly the 23rd or again on the 29, 30 or 31st, I might be able to help with free lodging. Otherwise the Candlelight Inn owner indicated he would set you up with a nice room for $59 per night. Tell Keery "Phoneman" recommened them. Their number is 308-635-3751. Unsure if just yet if I can go, but I sure want to meet others if they pass through this way. FYI, 400 miles or 6.5 hours from Scottsbluff to Cody.

Although I've been riding for many years, I haven't done many "long" trips on the bike and the ones I did do was with my dad and brother...we just stopped at rest stops and slept on the ground for the night. Now that I've got a real touring bike, the wife and I are wanting to do more trips...Since I'm new to this site and to this kind of traveling I had an idea but not sure if it's been tried, being done currently, or just stupid... How many would be interested (or maybe you are currently doing it) with opening your house to traveling bikers? I'm thinking of the money we could save on a 5 day trip if we had a "host family" we stayed with at each of our stops...Would also be able to meet new people and make new friends. What I was thinking was you just post your route along with days of travel, then anyone within about a 30-50 mile of each stop could volunteer their home...We could even have a list of "host families" with locations so people could plan their trips with those stops in mind... What do you guys think? Would something like this work?

So the real question here is: Would they be an interest in Riders monitoring a specific CB channel while riding that would allow riders traveling in different areas of the country to make quick, easy contact? It could be know as the VR channel by members. If there already is a desiginated channel, I appolize for not knowing. I ask because, I love to meet new Riders when I travel and I am planning my 4 week trip East for the month of September and don't want to miss meeting many of the members I have enjoyed on this site. Just wondering if there is a CB channel the VR riders frequent during travels. Years ago motorcycles would monitor channel 27 to communicate when traveling in different directions. I don't travel Interstates very often so I stay away from ch.19. I have tried to raise several motorcycle on channel 27, with no luck, guess ch.27 is old school and not monitored much any more. Please respond, I hate to miss a good place to eat, stay or just kick the tires with someone new.

I was riding with a friend of mine coming home from the fire academy today and we were traveling at a pretty good speed. The Fire Engine we were with left slightly ahead of us and we were trying to catch up. We finally caught up to it after traveling at about 85mph for a little while. After we got back into the firehouse he went inside and I stayid outside getting the truck back into service. while standing there, all of the sudden I heard a burst of air release. I looked over at the bikes and the front tire on his bike had BLOWN OUT. I looked at the tire and saw it was all dry rotted. We looked back and thought It could have been bad had it blown while doing 85. Just a little wake up call that you need to be sure you check your tires CLOSELY or you can wind up in the same situation or worse

Brenda and I had a nice ride planned to Key West but woke up to icing conditions at our home on Billy Goat Mtn this morning. We couldn't delay departure due to preaching appointments along the way so now we are traveling by CAGE instead. Bummer! Oh well. Just reminds me that I'm in sales, not management Lynn

Look at the picture One and you can see where this driver broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert, where the people are standing on the road, pointing. The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end bounced off and across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling. The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were unhurt except for minor cuts and bruises. Just outside Flagstaff , AZ , on U.S. Hwy 100. Now look at the second picture All I can say is wow!

I have a 2002 and the trunk only opens wide enough to squeeze the helmet in. I checked the bar on the left hand side to see if it was bent but it is traveling all the way to the end. Is this normal for the trunks or can I do something to make it open more? -

I had posted up a responce on a thread in the watering hole about stopping a crack in your windshield. As far as stopping the crack, you need to get a very tiny drill bit and locate the end of the crack. Take the drill and drill a small hole through the exact point at where the crack ends. In the service we did this to aircraft (called stopdrilling) It relieves the pressure on the crack and stops it from traveling more.
