I'm about to click <send> on accepting an offer from Amazon that will move us from Colorado to Idaho this fall. I know I'm going deep into red state territory that may cause me to grind my teeth to nubs, but the opportunity is just too good to pass up. Plus, I can request a transfer after 12-18...

Sitting here staring at the late season snow and planning my September already. Since we moved to Colorado, my annual trip on the SV is the route to Hawthorne. Since I'm a planner by profession, I must plan. Of course things can always change, but I'm a huge fan of knowing all my options along...

I've been thinking about getting a camera for years, but I'm a complete noob when it comes that technology. I want to be able to capture all of the amazing scenery on my roadtrips without having to stop constantly to take pictures. Would prefer something that can upload data to the cloud so I...

It’s been 8 long years with the Cortech tank bag. We disagreed from our very first trip, yet I have refused to give in. I spent $$$ back when I didn’t have it and could not rationalize replacing unless the damn thing broke. It hasn’t broken, but the map window has yellowed. Am I a bitch for...

I'm still living in the Denver area and plan on heading out to see everyone at the September rally again. This time I can take an extra day to get there, so was thinking of heading south on Wednesday for a bit of scenery thru Salida & Gunnison before the 1st night in Grand Junction. Rough plan...

Last summer my windscreen developed a crack right before two major trips. It was above the headlight at a max stress point and traveled vertically approximately 1/2". If left alone, the windscreen would crack into two pieces. No bueno when I had ~4k miles planned within the month. I needed a...

And I don't mean socks or Tupperware lids. They have their own special demons. Prepping for another long trip and bring down the saddlebags. Check out the maintenance and lube compartments and "WTF!" "Where are the damn cocktail straws for the wd40 and chain lube?!?!" Seriously, I have used...

For so long I've wanted to ride my own damn bike back home to North Dakota (the land of cruisers that put on 60-100 miles a year). Now that I live in Colorado, the trip is short enough to make it worthwhile. If the weather cooperates, I'll bomb 630 miles to Sioux Falls the first day and earn a...

Ex-coworker just posted about a bad crash at fifth and Jackson in Oakland approximately 25 to 30 minutes ago. Rider was T-boned by a black Camaro who ran the red light at speed. Coworker states rider was thrown 20+ feet He has pictures post crash. Police were on the scene. Rider is alert and...

Forgive the long-winded intro and questionable grammer Back in 2004, I purchased my first motorcycle. I’d grown up with a father who was always on a bike but felt it was not appropriate for women. I had the pleasure of watching my younger brother ride for a brief time until he got bored, while...

Beginning the household consolidation/finally getting the hell out of Oakland sale. Much more to come in the next few weeks including the DRZ :Party First up is my Blue 2012 Cannondale Trail 5 size Large. For reference I am 5'9" with a 31 1/2 inseam. This would make an excellent Christmas...

Coworker is selling his 2006 R6 and wants a better audience than craig's :) His riding style could be considered aggressive but mostly used to commute from Dublin/Pleasanton to Oakland. Very little to no time in the twisties. Maintenance taken care of by shops and only one mod. Owner did the...

The significant other and I are heading to Vietnam in March to visit his homeland and would like to pick up some basic Vietnamese before we go. We're aware a good portion of the population speaks English, but knowing the basic niceties always goes a long way towards a successful trip. Here's...

It's almost time to visit our neighbor to the north. I've researched routes to death, prepped my maps, and the SV and I are ready to roll on another glorious 10 day break from my laptop. :teeth If you've been in these areas, what were your favorite spots/sites/roads? I have some long travel...
