Welcome from Sallisaw, OK

Did you meet the guy riding Lucy? I met him last year just south of Galveston. He and his bike are very interesting. When I saw it, it was loaded down in a big way. The owner is well over 6 feet and I'm not sure how he had room to sit. That guy makes the Iron Butt rides look like they are...

I am certainly not making medical recommendations, but to tell you of my wife's experience. She had shoulder surgery about 2 years ago. Due to shaving off bone, they explained she had a year of recovery +/-. After a week of PT she decided not to go anymore. Each time a different therapist...

A nice place in Hot Sprngs is, Hot Springs National Park Gulpha Gorge Campgroundngs.

I have a Scorpion EXO GT3000. It''s pretty light weight for a modular and very comfortable. I too wear glasses and the arms behind my ears are fairly long. That makes it very difficult to put on a full face. It's vented well with internal sun shield.

I have a good friend that was a factory rep and represented several different lines. He now owns his own store in NW AR. He said about 90% of the company's have a contract he has to sign and limits him from publishing anything other than MSRP. The exception is discontinued items, and special...

I do like tube tires for off road as I run 12 and 14 pounds in them. I expect for most, the AT won't see a lot of hard off road. Most, not all, will be on pavement and fire roads or assorted dirt roads. That being the case not much use in lowering the air pressure much if any. Like has been...

I'm curious of how everyone feels about the tube tires. All my dirt bikes have tube type, but I haven't owned a street bike with tubes in years. I've rode many dirt bikes out of the woods, with a flat, and back to the trailer. I've plugged many of the tubeless tires long enough to get me in...

Not just single fellas. I've been trying to convince my wife I need a girl friend. It's not working for me.

Some of the things he did would be difficult for most of us on a small bike. The hill seemed quiet steep and loose gravel, most would be all over the place as he was. I rode a friends DR650 on similar terrain, that's something I have no interest in doing again. Too heavy and hard to control...

I've not noticed this being a problem, but I have rode many years with no breaks. I don't feel it's a safety issue shifting up in a turn, but down shifting in a turn could be a real issue, depending on experience.

Griff, I just finished episode 7, what a great watch. Thanks for posting.

I took a friend down the Galveston Beach this spring. NC did fine, HD not so much.

I shot my first Thanksgiving Turkey this year. Scared the crud out of the ladies in the frozen food department.

I just got a Seat Concepts, haven't had a chance to use it yet. If my backside is not happy the RDL will be my next seat.
