    Besides a few rally's throughout the year, it appears to me that (basically) only the northwest members actually ride their bikes. Just look at the "anyone go for a ride today?" or "riding game" participants.
    Anywhere else that stator or the new stator goes, he will just sit parked. Maybe just a stator tour of the northwest?

      Newfoundland seems an odd place to start ?

        Whoops! northWEST.
        Apparently winfield also rides in Kentucky: "Went for a 2 hour ride on Sunday. It was 37 degrees F when I left and under 40 when I got home but the sun was shining brightly."

            I'm just saying that if you read most of the threads on GSR 90+% TALK about riding and less than 10% actually do. If you ride less than a few weeks each year,
            how many years must you ride to actually have a years' worth of riding experience? Perhaps this has something to do with the 75% of members that have crashed in that poll thread?
            Stator would be parked in a garage or basement most of the time.

              Or maybe some of us ride every chance we get and don't post about it because 3-6 days a week of posting 'rode to the store, then took some back roads, ended up at a friend's place where we worked on his brother's truck, took back roads home.' is boring for everyone.

                Yep, that pretty much covers it. LOL Being in Fl, it is a rare day I don't spend a couple of hours on the bike. Besides being my hobby, the bike is also my primary transportation. My van usually sits in the driveway.
                I lost count of my road miles about 25 years ago at 500,000 or so and I spend nearly as much time on two wheels now as I ever did.

                    Send Stator to me and I will get him started in the PNW.

                      Just keep an eye on him. We wouldn't want to see he and Suzie Q run away together.......

                        My thoughts would be. Send him to dpep in Florida this Spring(Don gets around to all the Rallies) Then pass him off to the PNW guys for the fall/winter (they ride all year) Stator could then make his way down the west coast and eventually to tkent. tkent could then take him to Europe... my $.02

                                I think another Stator should be started in the States and Canada and in Europe. By the time the original gets here or else where many of us might not be riding any longer lol. Impose a time limit where Stator II can spend at one area. Make it sort of a contest, how many miles each Stator can accumulate.
