    I'll be slabbing to Indiana on the B-12 this year... I trust it, the XR-12 I can't trust. 7 instances of break down or semi-critical issues in 2.5K miles...
    Sad my 20 year old Suzuki is worlds ahead in reliability, also it's way more comfy and stupid fast...

        Will be good to see you.
        (although, I suspect, maybe slab to Ohio, then Norm & Steve might have some interesting roads from there.)

          From my house we'll slab it to Steve's house. We don't want to be late for Steve's tour of his ultimate motorcycle shop, or lunch that Mrs Steve(graciously) has to offer. Then we just follow Steve to Bedford. 👍

              Poured on the way home today... Not so fun when it 44'. Haha back in the saddle is good, rain or shine... Cold is tough but still worth it!

              I am very very excited to ride with all you cats!

                Short 2 hour ride looping up to Bonham SP and back. Rescued a turtle from the middle of the road and found historical cemeteries every 10 miles it seemed. Found an abandoned county road in Fanin county. Was going to explore it but lots of recent rain and being alone I decided to stick to pavement today. Rounded it out woth a cold one at Corner Street Pub.

                    Looks like a really nice ride Downs. We're still waiting for warmer weather up here in Michigan. I lived in Austin and San Antonio for a total of about 23 years; lots of great roads for riding in Central Texas. Thanks for sharing!

                      Does riding and leaning in the car count? I was on a gorgeous winding road in Tennessee this morning - State hwy 230 - and spent the entire 10-20 miles leaning from one side of the car to the other. I’d like to go check it and any others down there out on the bike some day

                        Funny you mention that. The other day my son and I were in my work van and we pulled halfway out into an intersection waiting to turn left. The oncoming turn lane had a car doing the same thing, waiting for traffic to clear but he couldn't see around us. Without thinking, my son leaned over to let the oncoming left Turner see around him. Pointless move because the van, not his body, was obstructing the view. He just gave me funny duh like look and chuckled a bit.

                        I find myself incorporating many riding habits, such as leaning, into my driving. Muscle memory, wishful thinking, or just practicing for later on, whatever it is usually brings a smile to my face.

As unique and uncommon as you may think the Biggerstaff name is its actually quite common. Ive run across some that live near me that Im not related to. I did a VA cemetery search once and there were 100s. Even here at the big VA cemetery where my Dad is there are several other Biggerstaffs that I'm not related to.

                          BTW Downs.....Downs is the last name of my wife's kids (her first husband) and their Dad lives in TX......

                            Nice 30 mile early spring ride with my wife today to test out the VX800 for 2-up riding. Got the thumbs up.

                                I can't say as I've ever found myself trying to lean my van. heh I don't wave at other van drivers either LOL
