    It's cheating unless there's a passenger in the sidecar.

    The wife always said I would have been a great monkey. Of course she was talking about the tree climbing, poo-throwing kind.

    Ditto. The DR has air in the tires and oil in the sight glass. It's ready :D

    Just cut my left hand index finger. Bonehead move. :jerko

    I think I am out and can't lead w/o clutch action.

    Hurts like hell! :dog

    Can anyone else step up to lead it?

    At this point I know *most* of the loop but there are a couple areas that are still kinda confusing :huh Plus I'm a slow "C--" rider and would bore everyone to tears if I led :lol3.

    That said, I think I have the tracks loaded in my GPS (?). I will give it my best shot if nobody else steps up.

    A true ADVer uses his middle finger, which you will see a lot of if you don't lead this ride.

    I have last year's track in my GPS and will be on my XT225 if you don't mind following a slow bike with an even slower rider.
