Dennis Andress Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 @BrianT Remember I pointed to a road marked 'Alton' off US 89? This is about 100 yards down that road, the head waters of the North Fork of the Virgin River. Somebody built a nice home just across the dam. 1 Link to comment

I was putting off riding until I got my priority house projects done, and took a two week trip to help a relative to Maine to TN to AL, with a side visit in Pensacola. August 1st was my "start up" date, ride daily, ride 2 hour, 4 hour, etc., and build up to a "REAL" overnighter trip. Now I've been hit with a medical problem, and it looks like my summer riding season is already over, and maybe fall and winter too. This is BEAUTIFUL, and so much of what I was looking forward to. Keep posting pix for those of us who can't go along. 👍🍻 Maybe next year (hey, there's "always" a next year, right? until there isn't😨 ). Anyhow, beautiful ride, beautiful site, and good on you for getting out and seeing it! 2 1 Link to comment

Redman Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Sunday evening rode to north side of Muskegon, along scenic drive (that is name of road) for a while, then back to the river channell. Was a coast guard helicopter circling the harbor (don’t know why). then waited for a lake freighter to come in. Wilfred Sykes, a 600footer. 7 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Two out of three ain’t bad. I traveled up to NH to climb Rattlesnake Mountain, check out a campground and see my buddy Jim who moved up there a few years back. The parking area was full and a school bus was unloading on the street so I passed on Rattlesnake. 9 1 Link to comment

longjohn Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I dropped one off for gas cap service and they gave me a loaner, so I figured I’d head up into the mts. edit: what a hoot. I thought I’d be cramped but it wasn’t bad at all. And 200lbs lighter!! 3 Link to comment

MikeB60 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Got the GS and the Tiger dirty this weekend. Mike only had to push the GS twice! Once when we chickened out where there was a huge washout and I needed help turning around and a second time when I got stuck trying to go around a puddle, really dumb move by the way! Was a great day! 8 Link to comment

Bernie Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Finally had time to go for a ride, the first one after returning from the UnRally in WV. No riding for 37 days, luckily I didn’t completely forget how to do IT. A short run to Gainesville to The Bagel Bakery for a bagel and a coffee. Started out at 76F, but it heated up in a hurry. 8 Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 No pix, but we did a quick 168mi ride to/from Brown County. Wanted to do more but SR 135 closed STILL! Lots of traffic on the interstates. Very hectic. Best part of ride circled and very, very little moto traffic on any of the twisties. 4 Link to comment

Redman Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not much of a story, riding a road that follows the curves around lakeshore dunes a couple days ago. Not much to see other than driveways into the dunes to big lakeside houses. Stopped for a pic. 2 Link to comment

ADulay Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Coming back from Sturgis this year I figured I really needed to detour over to Austin, Minnesota and check out the Int’l SPAM museum! Actually, it’s a pretty interesting place. That sample of jalapeño SPAM on a pretzel stick was most excellent. AD 5 1 Link to comment

Redman Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 A day trip last week. Is 90 miles to Manistee for the start of M-22. Got a late start, and then spent about 2 hours in Manistee. Then got a call about something going on at home that had me wanting to get back for . So only made it to the bluff overlook in Arcadia, and my all day trip was only about 7 hours and 250 miles. 3 Link to comment
