    I'm saying TOURATECH means "throw money at the problem"

    Yes yes Keith. I was mocking BMW owners. Sigh... Nevermind.

    I keep thinking I am funny. I guess my looks is all I have.

    I'm in! Little bikes best due to heavy rain forecast between now and Sunday?

    Where to Gary, Herrrick? Back way to Moonshine?

    I'm up for whatever

    I'm just a few miles away from Eckerts, man you gotta get the apple pie! They expanded their "country store" a couple of years ago and now it's like a mini Branson. They do have good peaches and apples though...

    I am a wimp. We did not ride through the closed part.

    Did you soil your dungarees?

    If not, RIP

    I survived! It was awesomely indescribable! 14,000 feet, 50 seconds of freefall, and five minutes of canopy. It was incredible!

    Hey all, just found this thread.

    Been riding my xt600 for a couple of months and I'm lovin' it, based out of Urbana.

    I'd love to hit the dirt with some of you more experienced guys and improve my skillset.

    Here's the bike, taken last weekend:

    When I'm not thumping around I spend my weekends autocrossing with the Champaign County Sports Car Club up in Rantoul.


    Hope to get a chance to meet you guys and hit the trails.

    You had me at Auto-crossing. Wife says I have too many hobbies and will not let me get into that...yet.


    Daily driver for the autox? Or?

    You might as well run with me Game-Queen. I always need a new friend.

    How fast does that 600 go? You got a chest protector?

    I used to autox my DD mazda3 but last year picked up an 87 Toyota mr2 that the PO had put an HKS turbo kit on. I redid the whole suspension and now it's a hoot.

    bigbore: considering the hamfisted shadetree that's been doing the work on it (me), I haven't had the stones to top it out. I don't have a chest protector but from reading back a few pages it might be a good idea if we ride together hahha.

    Forgot to mention: I've only been on two wheels for a couple of months.
