Deadly, that's a real nice looking Nighthawk setup. Do you pull that trailer with it?

Thanks, I only use it when Im traveling two up so that I can carry more cargo. I have been thinking about taking it on a few solo runs this year though. It will carry enough food and supplies that I dont need to buy much while on the road so it makes traveling really cheap.

If I were planing to go off the pavement though I would leave it at home for sure.

Speaking of stickers, where can you get some ADV stickers? Does someone here sell them or does everyone just make them up locally?

I found some "new to me" "4 wheeler trails" in the chats just south of the 249/171 interchange. Didn't find any "No Trespassing" signs and found another entrance over near Hall/Duquesne street.

The trails are close enough to my house to ride over and get some "practice" in crashing or hopefully not crashing.

I'll try to upload my phone camera pictures soon.

I've got my fishing gear loaded on the bike and am heading down to Stockton Lake and maybe even Table Rock Lake for some fishing on Friday morning. .... YeeHaw!

I wish, but my wife and newly born daughter (5/18/09) will be keeping me at home this weekend.

I'd say that's worth missing a silly motorcycle rally for.

Two is good, but I'll be 61 when #2 graduates HS, so I am probably finished..for now. (never say never).

Perhaps next year (hopefully).

Now that would have been sweet. Fortunately, the WIFE chose the name, Ruth Anne (the "e" was my contribution).

I did pass out Baby Ruth candybars at work today. So I guess we named her after a candy bar...and not a Austrian Motorcycle manufacturer.

It's good to see some riders are from SW MO. I was born and raised in Wheaton then Uncle Sam took me for a trip. Moved back to Monett in 76 and lived there until 80 but couldn't aford to make a living there. Now live close to Sedalia and often think of riding some of the roads I traveled in a cage when I was younger. That ought to be a hoot.

I noticed this thread isn't displaying posts past #70, so

This is just a test to see if this works.

Ok that's weird, I can't see posts 71-75, but this post (76) pops up on a new page.

Go figure.

I can see the posts 71-75 in FireFox (3.0.10) but not in Chrome (latest version).

Hmmm.

Welcome to Missouri (I guess).

You're really close to a bunch of great spots, not to mention the wonderful world of Branson (NOT!).

That being said, I'll be in Branson in July and will take the bike along for some back roads touring (wife allowing, and all that).
