  1. I would suggest she learns to curse in French to give those losers a piece of her mind. It's a form of meditation
  2. It's been years since I've been to Arkansas an Missouri, when I was there I was following so I don't remember the routes well. I do remember really liking the Eureka Springs area in Arkansas and riding around in the Mark Twain National Forest. Hope you two enjoyed yourselves.
  3. Looks like another fun trip just like your last one. You guys have some great ideas for road trips.
  4. I apparently don't have big baller money like the Goldwing crowd does. The trip to Mount Rushmore is a set of tires each way. Extremely cost prohibitive, how about a nice little 500 mile loop in southern Ohio of backroads so the center of my tire don't bore themselves to death riding along the highways.
  5. I don't have that kind of time in a day to ride something that slow. I have many miles to cover and couldn't get that accomplished poking around on something so slow.
  6. I was going to send you to a great restaurant in Bennington, Vermont but they closed last March. I haven't been there since 2019, really surprised it shut down. It was one of those places that you didn't mind at all paying a little extra for a great meal. Have fun!
  7. I know nothing about soup since it's "No soup for you" but I will be in that area September 11-15 Staying in Robbinsville.
  8. My guess is that it came from a former Goldwing rider that has settled into a vastly superior mode of motorcycle riding straight out of the soup Nazi region.
  9. Is this some sort of secret Goldwing society thing?
  10. Fun video with predictable results given the rules of the game. Start racing in the same gear at the same speed. Way different results were achieved when the MXR was able to pick it's own gear at the given speed. The MXR has the same torque as the RS with more redline, horsepower and less weight.
  11. I so wish that someone else bought my tires! This bike is a tire eating monster. You are correct about 650ib getting tires supplied. He does get an extremely deep discount on most of his bikes with the exception of one given to him by a manufacturer. Those discounts come at a cost to him though, of his time producing videos for those manufacturers. I don't have the talent or the eye for making videos. I think everyone else is a raving lunatic madman for riding so fast when I see others and when I see myself in videos I think that I might as well be riding a bicycle.
  12. As a side note do not pick random fun looking roads on a map in the North Carolina area. FUCK the road to the Wesser Bald Fire tower! That is all.
  13. Have you been introduced to our lord and savior the BMW Rt! It's the most special premium bike available to any motorcycle enthusiast. Don't fight the force.
  14. Obvious winner is obvious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLOHSbkfELw
  15. I now have the perfect comment to make at a Ducati rider making too much noise.
  16. Couldn't agree more. They sound like the bike is broken from the moment they start up. Mechanical sounding like throwing ball bearings into a transmission.
  17. Thanks for the updates! Were you the one that broke this place last weekend?
  18. https://www.instagram.com/p/C74cvGzg_9c/ Not my video obviously but it is my bike in the video. Don't know when the follow-up YouTube video will be put up but I can give this spoiler. BMW M1000XR weighs 497 pounds with a full tank of gas. 191 horsepower and 84 FT LBS with a BT-Moto flash.
  19. That is a man that's been married for a long time and expects it to stay that way. Even if I had tire left today I wouldn't have been able to ride because we have a wedding to go to at 4:00 that's a 55 minute drive away. It's a beautiful morning guys, have fun giggling on your adventures.
  20. And another thing. We used communicators for the ride Friday. It was refreshing to hear the reactions to our Ohio roads. I had no idea there was so much giggling on motorcycle rides!
  21. Look at the Goldwing salesman pointing out facts that the Goldwing tires last ten times longer than the stupid single compound track tire that BMW chose to put on the MXR. 1,500 miles on a tire is criminal especially since 1,000 miles of that were under some form of RPM restrictions. At minimum I'm going to find some sort of dual compound tire when replace the set. Perhaps if I add 300 pounds of Goldwing weight to my bike it would increase the mileage on the tires. Some sort of old man math voodoo that I don't possess yet. I was disappointed to miss the chance to meet an RT today......oh and see Pauly too. If tomorrow's weather is as perfect as today's weather it will be a great day for everyone. Speed safely!
  22. For future reference 440 three four three 56 fifty two
