I'm very interested and usually have a very light workload by the end of July. I love riding Colorado as my profile picture shows. I will be watching this thread and do believe I would be able to make it. The only wild card is that I may be building a new house this year and I do not know...
Well I've got it in my sights to get down there (from SE North Dakota) and ride the BDR-X some time in late August or early September. I might try to combine it with the Dakota Dual Sport Riders near Custer from Sept 14 - 17th. If my plan comes together I would like to ride the BDR-X...
The unbelievable reviews on the Dunlop Trailmax mission tires caught my eye so I bought a set shortly after they were released. I finally had a chance to install them before a Copper Canyon Mexico trip last April. All I can say is wow, I'm done shopping for Super Tenere tires as they are...
I forgot to post up pictures of the last nine bonus locations I knocked out on September 18 & 19th to finish of the GTOM.
I started out with Charles Lindbergh's boyhood home in Little Falls.
Next up was the Worlds largest ball of twine in Darwin.
The next location was a major blunder...
It’s a great gig. I've been teaching MSF Basic and Experienced courses in Fargo ND for 14 years now and been the site administrator for the last 8 of them. I've lost a couple of my West Fargo rider coaches this fall and will be recruiting a few new Rider Coach Candidates for the upcoming 2023...
That is unbelieveable. I've only tryed one set of 804 / 805 when I went to Baja four years ago. They exceeded my expectations in the sand and on the black top. They felt like sport bike tires on the black top and I had no problem leaning it over untill the fun meters (grinding foot pegs) were...
Proposed overnight routes to knock out the last 9 GTOM locations. I might get out and polish the GROM this coming Saturday/Sunday or Sunday Monday. We'll see?
Tuesday morning I woke up in the Sagonaga lodge to get an early start making up for the two I ran out of daylight for and the other four planned locations. I hit the first location at the Trails End Campground which was under a mile away and made my way to the Eagle Mt Campground location...
Last week I had a couple days free on the 5th & 6th so I planned a loop ride up to the NE corner of the state to hit some GTOM bonus locations. On Monday I got a late start and planned on hitting the Giant Walleye in Garrison, the Lift Bridge in Duluth, Eagle Mt Trailhead near Grand Marais, and...
Well I got out and hit a few Grand Tour of Minnesota locations August 31st. I got my Grand Tour feet wet hitting the two closest Bonus locations. I hit Paul Bunyans' Anchor in Ortonville and Inspiration Peak in Leaf Mountain Township.
Well, I've been riding the fence on this trip. My wife had her knee replaced July 20th and I assumed she would be well on the road to recovery by now but things are not healing well and she has very limited mobility. I won't know much more until next Tuesday when the doctor is talking about...
