Thanks for all the great advice and references everyone, as always! Is it spring yet?!

I’m a relatively new rider. I’ve done a trip from Montana to Michigan and back on pavement, off highway, and I play around in my backyard in SW Montana, but I’m interested in some more “training”. I’m competent as an individual (pilot, scuba diver, builder, traveler) and am looking for a program...

Every post here was so great and thoughtful and reinforced my suspicion that “built for it” was bs. I really appreciate the insight, thank you! Btw, I’m currently running Anakee III. Love ‘em.

Hey guys, I was on a ride last weekend with a couple friends who tend to like to ride a bit faster than me. I've got a 2012 S10, one of the other guys has an FJR and the last guy has a Honda (not sure the model but it's pretty basic, not an Africa Twin or anything). The ride took us up a...

Hey guys/gals - I bought a used 2012 S10 from a guy last spring and he had the (never installed) crash bars and aluminum skid plate that came with the bike. I managed to lose the instruction sheet that was also included and cannot find it any where on the Google. Any chance one of you excellent...

You guys are truly the best. Thank you and thank you!! Planning is so much more enjoyable and my confidence increases with your excellent insights and recommendations! I’m humbled by your experience and grateful for the time you take to share it!

Wallkeeper, you are absolutely right about 4 days being a pinch . The more I explore all these great suggestions you guys have offered, the more I'm committed to more like 6-7 days each way. The north shore Lake Superior route is something I really want to include on my way out. My wife and I...

Thank you Travex. I really appreciate the insight and good will. Look me up if you find yourself back in the Rocky Mtn west. All the best!

Thank you Cycledude and Eville Rich. Excellent information that I will take to heart. I appreciate the valuable input!

Thank Rob, yes I was planning on staying high, above Minneapolis, over the north end of Lake Michigan and down the Traverse City. Mostly tracking around US12 but looking for parallel diversions that would be worth diverting for. I appreciate your feedback, thank you!

Hi all...I'm new to the world of riding and am planning a trip from SW Montana to Traverse City, MI area this summer - mid July - on my 2012 Tenere. I'm an experienced camper with all the gear necessary for a comfortable stay most anywhere. I'm looking to stay off the interstate as much as...

Hey Ian (Sam?). I'd love to take a ride with an experienced rider like yourself. I'm really new and green but am looking to build on it. I'm over in Bozeman (been here 23 yrs). Still working on snow melt over here but getting close...

Thank you Sierra1. I suppose I should post on one of the threads related to trip planning and see what kind of recommendations I get. Thanks for the tip!

Hi, my name is Mike and I've come into motorcycles late in life. I always enjoyed moto equipment as a youth, several of my friends were dirt bikers, but I was never allowed and had to sneak in rides with friends and family. I bought my first bike at age 24, an 1973 BMW R75/5. It needed a lot of...
