2011 Mid-West M&G

KidAgain — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 06:16:10 -0600

Since the National Meet & Greet is now history I thought we might start talking about another week-end get together in August like we did last year in Council Bluffs. :)

I'm going to be in N. Minnesota on 8/13 and 8/20 so I'd like to toss out 8/6 as a date to see what others think--or 8/27. I also wondered if we might consider the St. Joseph, MO, area this year. The Loess Hills area last year was great but should we consider northern MO as well?

Let's discuss. :)

Trip to the Grand Canyon. Four Thousand Miles of Pure Fun & Challenge. Photo was taken in Walsenburg, Colorado. Everything melted off by mid-morning, but oh, watch those tunnels!

My first website design

dlovejoy — Mon, 02 May 2011 01:14:31 -0600

Last week I published my very first website. I volunteered to take over the website of our local STAR chapter here in Iowa after our previous webmaster left the club. If you'd like to check it out, the address is http://www.midiastar.com. Note the link to the 1300Tourer forum under the Bike Forums link. Also, lstayner and I are listed under the Chapter 210 Officers link.

Just goes to show you what one can do with a lot of time on their hands...

Doug.

Weekend Ride

KidAgain — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:46:01 -0600

I just got back from dinner with aroark007, dlovejoy, and bcalmer. As usual lstayner suggested where we should all meet and then couldn't come. :)

Since the forecast for Saturday is sunny and 72 degrees--and riding weather will soon be gone--we are tentatively planning a ride to the Loess Hills area for Saturday. Any one else within riding distance is welcome to join us. Right now we'll meet in either Denison or Smithland some time around 10 a.m. or so and ride the area til mid-afternoon. I need to be back in Ames around 5 or so. If you're interested keep track of this thread and we'll all decide on the exact meeting place before Saturday.

Larry--hope you can make it back in time to join us, buddy. ;)

2010 Iowa Meet & Greet?

KidAgain — Wed, 19 May 2010 09:53:22 -0600

The Idea of an Iowa Meet & Greet some time this summer has been raised. The western Iowa area of the Loess Hills has been suggested as a location.

Let's Discuss. :)

100 Day All Iowa Poker Run

aroark007 — Wed, 19 May 2010 06:32:25 -0600

Are any of the Iowa crew participating in this?
I got my book Sunday at the Silver Dollar in Hinton and am planning a couple of long day runs to the SE and NE of Sioux City to fill in a few. Even if I don't make it to Soldier for the festivities, it's a good excuse to go during the weekends. Of course, being a volunteer firefighter, I like the cause.

30 Degrees

aroark007 — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:21:53 -0600

Made for a bit of a brisk ride to work this morning, but the sun was shining and the wind wasn't blowing a hundred, so it was a good ride anyway. Fortunately, I only have to run 16 miles to get here and about halfway down I was thinking that a nice pair of chaps or a wind suit would be just wonderful. The jeans didn't quite cut it as well as I would have liked. Other that, it wasn't bad and it is supposed to get back in the 60's today.

On another note, I have just over 500 miles on the Mustang seat and I am loving that seat. The way I sit in it makes for a more secure and comfortable ride. since I don't feel like I am moving atround on the seat, I feel more secure and can corner with more confidence. This is the best mod I have made. Now, I have to raise the pad on the sissy bar to hit Michaeleen's back better. I have already seen a couple of methods used by others, so I don't even have to ask the question.

My buddy and I are planning to do the Great Lakes tour in July leaving from Tampa, FL. The whole round trip is about 4800 miles and we think we can do it in 10-13 days. Any advice as far as where to stay or interesting places to stop and visit would be appreciated....thx... Ali
