    There's a very large area called the driftless area. Great riding. Tons of great roads in a triangle between Durand, Black River Fall and Prarie du Chien. Non ending supplies of good roads. How do you like your Sprint 1050?

      I just got it the first of the month, so I'm just getting use to it. Went on a 360 mile trip last weekend and the last 60 miles were getting to me. The way home was much better as I learned some new seat positions to change it up a bit. Much better. No pain and I think I could have gone another hundred. I like it!

            Nice photos, Jedz.
            Don't know if you have explained it already but what is up with the bungee cords on the forks?

              Guys, I gotta ask Is there a photographer camped out at The Tail Of The Dragon? Or maybe it's like that spot on the roller coaster that snaps a pic then after the ride you walk by the booth and see your pic? Except in this case not a single person has their hands in the air.

                Big trips like that I always carry back up Bungees. You never know when you might need them
                So I put my backups on the front forks.

                      Tell the truth...that's your aftermarket fork brace!

                          Yeah those inverted HD forks are pretty horrid HAHA Need bungees to stiffen up the front end.

                            I did my best to just ignore them and keep my eye through the turn...

                                That was my biggest solo ride I've done, I usually have company. Now that I broke that barrier I'm thinking west coast ride next year... Need to get into a little better shape and look at my calendar for I'll need to take at least 2 weeks off to complete that journey.
