General Banter / Where's the home page?
« on: July 06, 2011, 12:34:59 PM »
Maybe it has been asked and answered elsewhere (in which case please nuke this thread):

I'm missing the old home page.  I really liked the feature that you got a quick overview of all new messages.  Can I find that somewhere else now?

General Banter / How to handle a Wisconsin speeding ticket?
« on: May 16, 2011, 12:14:28 AM »
Before you give me the "man up and pay" speech... yes I will.

But if there is a reasonable way to protect my squeaky-clean driving record, it would be silly not to do that.  My understanding is that WI offenses do get usually reported to MN.  Has anyone any practical experience with asking for leniency regarding the reporting, or pleading guilty to a non-moving violation instead?

Would one preferably talk to the prosecutor, a hearing officer, the judge?  The venue is Pierce county, WI (it wa on WI-35 south of Prescott, 70 in 55 zone) -- with Prescott in their jurisdiction, I assume that they are not extremely sympathetic to two-wheeled speeders...

General Banter / Flood Run Sept 18
« on: September 10, 2010, 04:28:47 PM »
Just as I was about to figure out the gourmet issues in Arcadia I ran into a huge snafu.  I wanted to take a few people on a ride into Wisconsin on Sept 18.  But now I learned about that Flood Run the same day and found that pretty scary.

What's the consensus on riding that day -- just forget it, or would it be ok once you reach the hinterland?  Is there any general experience about the dynamics of that thing?  Do they pretty much all start at the same time and location (it's scheduled for 10:30), so that one could stay ahead of the crowd if we'd want to cross over to some alphabet roads?  Will they pretty much stay on WI-35?  Or will the entire area be teeming with drunk riders from early in the morning?

General Banter / Decent eatery in Arcadia, WI?

Does anyone know if any of the restaurants in or around Arcadia are recommendable for a lunch break?  Doesn't have to be gourmet but should be clean and good quality food.

Introductions / HSL
« on: June 20, 2010, 08:24:59 PM »
After I met some of you today, here's the official introduction.

I came to Saint Paul a few years ago and soon got myself a '06 DL650.  I've since grown extremely fond of the V-Strom, logging about 14k miles per year.  It's not exactly a sportsbike but it's a bike that really takes me places -- whether in the cities, the North Woods, or (my favorite) exploring the twisties on the other side of the river.  My last big tour was 7,000 miles to California and back (trip report: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=535253).  I enjoy riding alone and following the road whereever it goes, but also would like to team up with a few like-minded people in the area for the occasional outing.
