    2017 Notch Tour

    Due to possible bad weather, the Tour will be moved to August 11 to 13. I will stay at the Hillside Inn (Killington) Friday and Saturday night. Whenever I stay there , there are at least a few bikes there, and the off season (skiing) rates aren't bad. If you come Saturday morning , or for the...

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    I wanted to see the "Badlands" more thoroughly, so went back the next day. I had driven through going West and went East for my second visit. I all ways try to drive a nice road in both directions for different views. There were several groups of Big Horn Sheep along the road, but, they always...

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    When I started planning my trip, I didn't realize how close the Chief Crazy Horse Monument is to MT Rushmore. If you make the trip, you might as well see both. The visitor center at the CCHM is very nice with a Museum, restaurant, and a gift shop with beautiful Native American crafts.

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    Mt Rushmore Mt Rushmore felt like more than a tourist attraction, people looked like they were vacationing, yet, there was a certain solumness , you could feel it.

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    Mt Rushmore I stayed in Rapid city for several days , going in a different direction each day. Rapid City was more convenient than I though it would be, and saved packing each day and allowed sleeping late. There were many restaurants near my hotel in walking distance , family type dining ...

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    The billboard highway. I didn't expect the signs all the way across South Dakota for Wall Drug . There were others such as Firehouse Brewery ( I think) some of their signs included a real fire truck. Anyway, I enjoyed the grasslands, I could live there if I thought I could find work, beautiful...

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    The ride from Joliet IL to Sioux City Iowa was long and hot. I think one of the longest days in the saddle for the trip. I wanted a picture at the Mississippi, yet didn't see a scenic vista to pull off on and wasn't so spectacular at that crossing. The terrain changed slowly from flat plowed...

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    Joliet was a night stop only, and a bigger city than I expected. As usual, the AC worked (it was hot on the road) the wifi did not, at least not well enough to be useful. Unfortunately,there was a lot of construction on this leg, but the speeds never got low enough to take side roads. I kept my...

    I believe wearing full face helmets by HD riders is increasing. Still a lot of soup bowls though.

    Mount Rushmore Ride

    Mount Rushmore Due to the daily distances, I stayed mainly on the Interstates. Rt 90 from the Boston area to 86 in NY. 86 wasn't the fastest route across NY, but, I hadn't traveled it and it turned out to be an interesting road that stayed high above the valleys making for scenic views to keep...

    C650GT mirrors/indicators for C650Sport

    I will say that it is certainly a conversion worth considering, as anything that can attract more attention has to be good.

    C650GT mirrors/indicators for C650Sport

    Does BMW offer these mirrors as an option for the Sport? If so probably the bike is wired for the conversion.Call the dealer, they can find the answer for you, if they don't know. Or try the BMW Motorrad site it has the available options listed. As far as the accessory manufacturers go, there...

    BMW C650GT|Sport|C600 Sport All Weather Motorcycle Cover $100

    Oh Yeah, how do we know there is a "scooter" under there, it might actually be a motorcycle!! The question's I have are; is it breathable fabric, and where are you parking when you use it. If you park where the ground is damp, non breathable fabric will trap moisture and cause corrosion more...
