Buggs!!!! :wavey:

Last summer our then-16 year old son was driving us all to the lake, boat trailer hitched up with our Ram 2500 diesel truck. Deer strike...none of us saw the deer because the road is narrow with some...

It is a good point you make, Trials, that less folks are entering this sport/hobby.

:wavey:
Still around but yes, a little slower these days. Of course, it's summer, so some are out riding, but..overall, it's been slower anyway.

Great to see you around again!

I think days like today are to humble us and keep us safe from getting too cocky from days like your July 4th.

I agree with atonic that the facebook group isn't all that active. It was started as a way to touch base when this page was "down." I can't even remember who started it. Whomever originally started...

The facebook group is really not all that active.

PS if you want a lot of great info on the Strom, check out stromtrooper.com. I haven't been there in awhile because of life, but there are great forums there, too.

Personally, I disagree with Trials' assertion about you get what you pay for. I call the Strom the poor woman's BMW. :mrgreen:
I willingly bought the second one because it suits my needs just fine...

I am on my second Wee Strom and I love the bike. It does everything I ask it to....Iron Butt, dirt roads and commuting back and forth to work on the freeway at 80 mph. I have also done tent camping,...

I attended a safety summit in Colorado that says differently. Here's a linky.

Note the 112% increase in alcohol/marijuana combined impairments. That was the biggest thing I took away from the...

Going along with your same notion of it being too much to expect west coasters to attend an east coast Bug Bash, I think expecting the Bug Bash originators (east coasters) to organize a west coast...

Yeah, that is the distinction I don't get. I am not sure why "Impairment is hazardous" isn't the end of the story when talking either vehicle.

I don't understand the distinction between a car and a motorcycle in your statement. It's a common one; not just you.

You do know you can get a DUI even if under legal limits, correct? The...

I'm here.
Not as much as back in the hey day, but...I'm here.

Sad face at the fence. We've had that happen in some of our formerly-accessible trails, too. It's a bummer. Looks like a fun ride otherwise, though.

Been really interested in the cRF250L Rally...

So I've been getting the dirt bike/dual sport itch again. Called a couple dealers today. My used toy store is now selling Husqvarna's. The salesguy was all excited because they have the FE 350 on a...

Either you bought it...or it's too late. Post removed. Sad face.

OBX's answer is the reasoning why I say they are two different bikes (Connie vs VFR).

But I have done an Iron Butt Saddlesore on my Strom so I may not be as much of a prima donna as he is. ...

For me, they are 2 different bikes but....

I have owned a Concours and I've ridden a VFR. The Connie is heavy but once at speed, it doesn't feel heavy. There is a buzziness in the handlebars on it...

Good job doing your homework. If something doesn't feel right, I'm learning to trust that feeling.

Did you post on any of the online Strom pages?

I wouldn't really consider it a track day but not sure why. haha
Grateful we can pay $75/year and use state trust land to ride. Terrain isn't as fun as the dirt track but still fun.
I was on...

Looks like fun! That much air scares me, though. :mrgreen:

And how are the legs today? I remember being more sore than I had ever been after doing a track day on the FZ. I can't imagine it's not...

HI! Welcome back. Sorry to hear about the illness but glad you're on the mend.
