    Dave, I find it odd that Steve would be asking for rather than giving directions. If that is indeed what's going on there.

      I actually did get lost here on the Alamo reservation. This is where I realized my battery had been cooked by the stator and the reg/rec was toast. I had a weak cell signal and low battery but found my location and got my wife to, eventually, come find me with a trailer.

        Nothing for me this week, I’m a Pathfinder and have never been lost on my bike.

          and the response was less than positive (I am being polite here.).


          Hey, Bob, Let me request you to name the bikes there.
          I have no idea about the blue-silver E, other than Mr Glen Dorkburger mentioned "Willie" (and I recall a Willie from TN, I think, had a GK at one time).
          THen there is your nice red E.
          And, Let me quess.... the silver painted one is that Chicago guy Dom.
          And I suspect the black one would have been Greg gbw bike (750 '78?).
          ..... and so each of those last two puts the time frame about 2008-2010 or so.
          I am third from the right, Sandy fourth, BigT sixth and on the end on the right ST John. The picture was taken the first year the PNW rally was held in John Day. That is the best that my old mind can do. I was riding my 83 1100G, Sandy was on a Jamaha that year I believe and BigT was on his 79 1000.

            Doesn't have to be you, gustovh. Never lost your keys? Never helped anyone else who was lost? Been to a "lost" paradise?
            The themes are just a suggestion. It's the photo that matters.

              That was my thinking. I lost a chain tensioner bolt last year, I'm losing clearcoat off of the paint, etc.

                When my life flashes before my eyes, and I'm heading to the light... I'm not sure of the order of these things.... I just want to know where the damn parts I dropped in my garage went to! Also it would be cool to finally know the resting place of several wallets and sets of keys. Just so I can nap easy.

                      NOT an ENTRY. This is my original lost pic. I was in Nowhere Tennessee where the Mississippi makes that loop called the New Madrid Bend. I rode to the end of a farm field road and walked another couple hundred yards to the top of a Levee and took this shot of my old 1980 850G 10 or 12 years ago.

                      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                            Google found 5 or 6 businesses near me with "Lost" in the name...

                            The Lost Tavern, Lost and Found Records, Lost Treasures, The Lost Sea Adventure, etc.

                            Unfortunately, it appears we are going to have rain all week...

                                I wasn't truly lost. I knew generally where I was, but my Waze app evidently has a very loose interpretation of what is a "road" and what is a goat path. It was all downhill and too steep for me to safely turn around. It got much worse until I got to a proper groomed forest road. Definitely the hairiest surface I've traversed on this bike. I don't want to do it again.
