    Boise local, and Happy Trails employee, Heath Hiatt at the BMW Adventure Summit in Utah, riding a 1150 GSA, and getting his trophy for being such an outstanding young man in his field. Or was he just out standing in a field...whatever dude. Just watch it, captures the feeling a lot of us have when out and about riding by ourselves.

    It is not on the IAMC website. It is on the Happy-Trails website at this location below. Hope to see you there. Really enjoyed Alan's article for the October issue of our newsletter. :nod

    It was a beautiful if sometimes arduous ride.
    The same pictures are on either Flickr or Facebook.

    In the spirit of the season I will answer by saying I'm
    • 100% heedful of private property and wilderness boundaries
    • 75% heedful of seasonal closures
    • 5% heedful of GS design parameters

    Hey there Boise, been on a hiatus and am keeping busy overhauling Moya, after 30K + figured it's about time.

    I didn't know how hard it is to find 10 mm shims in this town :huh

    thank goodness for the internet...

    Anyway Steep and Rocky really enjoyed your RR and Happy Belated Anniversary!! While reading your writeup I opened my Benchmark to follow along and I had 2/3 of that route highlighted as a todo.:lol3

    Jason, remember mums the word and it's only wrong if your caught, but then again you can take that GS any place well except for slippery cantered bridges.

    Still looking for a 2.50 shim.


    Hope to see you guys next week at the presentation.

    See you out there :ricky

    I think I have to agree with that, I spent the last two days riding to St. Anthony and back and it was miserable! Lots of snow and wind today and I am whipped.

    After riding back north last January I'm thinking no more winter riding, took me two days to warm up proper. :lol3



    This thread seems to me has really withered on the vine sort-of-speak. Not a lot of traffic here. I guess people have moved on...
