Hello there! Oh yes, still riding. I did a solo ride to California and back a couple years ago with a wee dip into Mexico. Then I did a solo ride through the Black Hills and beyond. So far I have done Alaska twice, California once, Mexico once, Newfoundland once, key West once, all solo trips...

Hmmmm.....so I am eligible to be served on my bike according to tim ho policy.

I just had this happen for the first time in years of going through the drive thru. She said it's company policy and she is just doing her job. I replied this is the first time this has happened. Never been denied at a McDees drive thru. I only go to fast food places for late night coffee. So...

Just now...

I can't tell you how many times I have gone to fort9 to check something only to see a message it's down for maite. I am using my phone and hubby gets the same message on his computer. Is it just me or what?

Chicago Mike, I think. I wasn't sure if he was still around. I'm not on linked in, or fb, or insta or anything so a phone call will suffice

I have a seat that I need to be reshaped. Who is doing that these days? Any recommendations? A long time ago when I needed something like this done, I went to a couple different upholstery shops. They didn't seem to understand the particular needs of a riders azz comfort .

I have an airhawk, a couple of them actually, 2 alaska sheepskin as well. Unfortunately they take me way high on the seat and I am already on my toes at 5'2 ish and a 28" inseam. I tried something different on my recent PA wilds trip on the long weekend that worked for me. I always have some of...

Everyone I know who has ridden out to Colorado takes the 70 or 80 across.....I dont want to do that. I'm saying CO cause that's usually the destination when one rides out west but I'm continuing on. I'm looking at my maps, to find the secondary highways ,2 laners, that will take me across. I...

I just came back from a 3 day run down to the PA wilds. I stayed in Coudersport one night and camped at little pine sp the other night. I got off I-81 at Watertown and took 3 and 14 west and south. I recommend the gorge walk at Watkins Glenn, it's literally like being in a LOTR movie. Stop at...

I had a NC 700 or was it a 750? ...it was so boring I can't even remember. I sunk a ton of money at it to "make it better" and in the end I threw in the towel and sold it. I have never hated a bike as much as I hated that one. The tank was small and I felt like I was stopping for fuel more...

Shane, since I am so into maps, I would really like to hear your opinion on that map set you bought. When I rode over in Europe, I stopped at a couple of bike shops and bought at least 2 map sets that are no longer available as far as I know. They are AMAZING! Laminated, and sized for a tank...

Lol.

It must be honda NC!

Hi Shane, nice write up. I have found routes from crossing the border at alexandria that take me all the way down to the bottom of WV and further where I dont touch a interstate once. I have tried many different routes to get through NY and PA that are fun little backroads , and I am always...

Thank you Shane for the time and effort you put into this great route. It was a pleasure to meet you and the young lad( I'm sorry, I dont know how to spell your name!)...and have a day of riding in beautiful sunny summer weather. A couple of those beaches would have been a welcome respite to...

I did that same trip a couple weekends ago. I'm surprised you skipped the deer trail north on 108 from Elliot lake and around. Not a soul on it. I stayed at the old mill motel in blind river even though I had my camp gear with me. It was very hot and I needed air con. The restaurant across the...

I for one,am pretty excited to see one out in the wild. Kudos to HD for bringing something new and fresh to their outdated lineup. I don't know how well it will sell to the HD crowd,but I would certainly give it a hard look.
