Routes / WI Dual Sport with Snake Creek & Trout Valley
« on: August 30, 2013, 10:37:31 PM »
Here is a route from Ellsworth WI to the Pickle Factory in Pepin.

It's a 115 mile round trip on pavement, dirt roads, minimum maintenance roads, and possibly a water crossing or two.

The file also has the layout of Snake Creek and Trout Valley OHV areas.
You should have a MN OHV sticker if you plan on riding these areas. It helps pay for these areas for us to ride.

Snake Creek info

Trout Valley info

I've had the pleasure of following a RC-51 two times. Once down the straight away at BIR, the other heading North on 35 just South of Alma.

Both times the bar ends weights came off and bounced over my head.

Don't feel bad if I don't follow you Mike!!  ;D

Keep in mind your speedo will change also.
i.e. Your speed is 65 but your speedo says 55

As I recall the first and only road I've turned around immediately three times just to ride it again.

Just South of Mt Judea, AR

I've noticed in other parts of the US all bikes wave. Seems just around here were the harley crew doesn't say Hi.

Anyways,

I love motorcycles, and I love riding. Like many of you, what first drew me to bikes was not just the experience of riding, but the feeling that I'd become part of a special community? a brotherhood, really. Nothing calms me more than a long ride down the interstate, waving to the members of my beloved clan.

Except when I pass Harley guys. I hate Harley guys. Hate, hate, hate. When they pass me on the highway, you know what I do? I don't wave. With their little tassel handlebars and the studded luggage and the half-helmets? God, they drive me crazy. You know who else I hate? BMW guys. Oh, I do hate those guys. I don't wave at them, either. They think they're so great, sitting all upright, with their 180-degree German engines. God, I hate them.

They're almost as bad as those old bastards on their touring motorcycles. You know what I call those bikes? "Two-wheeled couches!" Get it? Because they're so big. They drive around like they've got all day. Appreciate the scenery somewhere else, Grampa, and while you're at it, I'm not waving to you.

Ducati guys? I don't wave at them either. Why don't they spend a little more money on their bikes? "You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's red." Aren't you cool?! Like they even know what a desmo-whatever engine is, anyway. Try finding the battery, you Italian-wannabe racers! I never, ever wave at those guys.

Suzuki guys aren't much better, which is why I never wave at them, either. They always have those stupid helmets sitting on top of their stupid heads, and God forbid they should wear any safety gear. They make me so mad. Sometimes they'll speed by and look over at me and you know what I do? I don't wave. I just keep on going. Please, don't get me started on Kawasaki guys. Ninjas? What are you, twelve years old? Team Green my ass. I never wave at Kawasaki guys.

I ride a Honda, and I'll only wave at Honda guys, but even then, I'll never wave at a guy in full leathers. Never, never, never. Yeah, like you're going to get your knee down on the New York Thruway. Nice crotch, by the way. Guys in full leathers will never get a wave from me, and by the way, neither will the guys in two-piece leathers.

And wanna know who else I'm not waving at? Those guys with the helmets with the loud paint jobs. Four pounds of paint on a two pound helmet? like I'm going to wave back to that! I'll also never wave at someone with a mirrored visor. Or helmet stickers. Or racing gloves. Or hiking boots.

To me, motorcycling is a like a family, a close-knit brotherhood of people who ride Hondas, wear jeans and a leather jacket (not Vanson) with regular gloves and a solid-color helmet with a clear visor, no stickers, no racing gloves and regular boots (not Timberlands).

And isn't that what really makes riding so special?

Or maybe Veh 1 stopped, Veh 2 was stopping and Veh 3 wasn't paying attention?

Just saying...

« on: September 05, 2012, 11:03:45 PM »
I picked up the two piece Roadcrafter. I have ridden in weather with icicles hanging from my helmet to 112 degree temps across the desert.

I should get up to Aerostich and pick another up sometime. It's been twelve seasons and over 100,000 miles.
