Saturday looks like it's going to be a wet one. I'll bring my EZ-Up

Ok compared to the rest of us poor slobs she has a lot of class.

My spot has been filled, others still available

My cabin spot has been filled, with a bit if class I might add.

I've got one sitting on the shelf ready to put in after the Gap trip. ALL of my vacation is now approved...getting excited now!

I usually go down twice a year if i can, one time ill trailer the other time ill ride. When i trailer i tend to hit the twistys harder because i have a way home if i dump it. Plus trailer down with this bunch is hangover insurance, i have trailered down 5 times and rode down 4 times once on a 1990 GSXR 750, twice on a 1997 TL1000S, and once on the Connie.

One we are talking about is a Black feller and he is of foreign decent. (no way to relay that with out sounding racist I guess)

i too dont think it's your clutch, and at 20k miles unless your slip it ALOT, i should be nowhere needing replaced. I noticed my Vstrom shifted better with differents oils.

Think he was getting at people that carry them that are not supposed to be and or illegally concealed. I prob worded that wrong. But he is a supporter of concealed carry and a said he applauds me for doing so out on the trails.

Here you go Joel the mod you requested....

Ok talked to guy for about a half an hour, we have the right man he is the dudes boss. I expressed my/our concerns, told him of the personal encounters, and shared some of the second hand stories i have heard. I hope I'm wrong but i don't think anything is going to change. I'll fill you guys in more when i talk to you this weekend. But one of the things he said that could be good is that he was concerned about all the second hand info i was providing and welcomes other to contact him with their concerns. And he said he would talk to him about all the things I wanted to relay which in a nut shell were 1. Lighten up 2. Be more of a people person. 3. Don't assume everyone is guilty or involved. He also said this is the first time he has heard any complaints about this officer and he is a normally a outstanding officer. I never ask but, he never volunteered to give me his name, but knew who i was talking about by my description. He told me that keeping alcohol, drugs and illegal guns off the trail is their number one concern and he can not and will not ask any officer not to do that job. And it's their job to dig that's what thy are told to do. So i think they will have a talk about it but like i said i don't think it's going to do any good.

Ill be the slowest of the bunch now, I bet even Shawns 350 could out run me since it's gear drive instead of belt drive.

Tried to call the guy today, only got a voicemail. and the voicemail said his name was Joseph not Tony. But here is the big long title he had on his voicemail. Patrol Captain Joseph McGallicher US Forestry Service Law Enforcement Investigation, South Central Zone. I'll update more if he calls me back and what he says

That's what we are hoping for.

We can tell the long stories in person sometime im not that good at typing. But in a nut shell, this dude is basically on a ego trip with a badge, He thinks everyone is guilty of something at any given time and in his Barney Fife attitude he's going to pin something on you if you did it or not. He blocks trail heads and checks EVERYONE that goes buy, and is just in most of our opinions harasses and interrogates people that are playing by the rules and trying to have a good time. I have talked to a few people that said they will never go back because of him.

Yup 2 weekends ago he came into Wiliams camp ground at various times of the day(very early and very late) because he was looking for someone that he says ran from him, and in a nut shell interrogating everyone he cam across. Along with the other times he had basicly harassed us for no reason at all.

Some of us as well as other people we have talked to down there have had some serious issues with one of the Rangers, Foresty Ofiicers or who ever he is patrolling the trails down at Wayne NF. So i sent this email to the general email. Could you please direct me to the proper channels to where I can file an official complaint about one of your atv trail law enforcement officers. The name, phone number, and email address of a supervisor or superior would be appreciated...thank you in advance. and this is the reply I received............ I have cc'ed the supervisor of the Forest Service Law Enforcement officers on the Wayne. Some of our officers are not full time law enforcement and may work for other people and some are actually conservation officers that work for the State of Ohio- but he may be able to determine if whoever you have an issue with was one of our officers or not. His name is Tony McGallicher and his phone number is 740-753-0578. If it isn't one of his officers, he'll be able to help you, or tell you who to talk to. I hope this helps. Teena Ligman Wayne and Hoosier National Forests 811 Constitution Avenue Bedford, IN 47421 812-276-4757 So if we want to voice our concerns there where we start.

looks like the back of a Miata..

Just switched to Riders from the lizard. And I dropped my deductibles from $500 to $250 and added my 4 wheeler to my policy that I just bought and it only went up $20 a year vs what I was paying. So 2 bikes (full coverage ) 2 riders, one 4 wheeler(comprehensive)(all with $250 deductible) for $284 a year And don't forget riders offers free roadside assistance.

Reverse switch override is in the works, but not for reverse whoolies. Just like to to have full power to get out of trouble

Oh yea FYI most bikes(not all) the button is the ground not the power. Just I bit of info if you run a relay. Test it to be sure

Here is some info in the freeway blaster on ADV... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=271578 I think the PIAA draws around 3-4 amps, look like the freeway blaster draws around 5-6, i'd say your imited by how big the fuse is on the bike(no that doesnt mean put a bigger one in), but my personal preference is to have double of what you really need as a minimum. But i always overdo things, it's what i do.

double post
