    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Romp in the Rocky Mountains 2021

Norm, So I guess this means we won't be having breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. I was going to tell you also that if coming this way, I have a spare room for you especially since all the hotels are filled up now with the College World Series going on and the Olympic swim trials just ended yesterday I believe so some of those fans might be sticking around for the baseball also.

Anyway, ride safe the rest of your journey and enjoy it all.

Thank you for the offer Larry., it is really appreciated. I'll miss our Cracker Barrel breakfast. I decided to take the southern route home. Maybe our paths will cross some other time this summer. 👍
 
Norm sent me a message today, he is in Little Rock tonight, he may be in my area tomorrow evening, might be able to get a bite on the way through.
 
Yesterday's ride was pretty uneventful. I left Amarillo early in the morning and headed east on interstate 40. For some reason I like cutting across Oklahoma. Maybe because part of the interstate was old Route 66. I made it to Russellville Arkansas.

Today was a nice ride. Well, getting through Memphis was a little hectic. That's when I decided to get off the highway and enjoy some country riding. I worked my way north to Murray Kentucky.

I met up with Scott (marvinsc). It was nice seeing Scott especially since he wasn't able to make the BC rally. We had a great dinner and beer. Scott then took me on a 50 cent tour of the city. Then took a ride to Kentucky Lake. Very beautiful, I'd like to come back and spend a couple of day here!

Tomorrow is another moving day. I should be able to make it home in the afternoon. I must say it will be nice to be home. My grass is probably a foot high!👍
 
Well I made it home last night. 16 days 5,735 miles, 14 states. The motorcycle ran flawlessly. Except for a slight vibration around 85mph. I had the front wheel balanced, it might of help but not really.

I saw all kinds of weather. A little bit of rain, but not enough to put on the rain suit. I ran into some high heat (102?) but not hot enough to kill me. I rode through high wind (45+ gusts) not enough to blow me off the road. I also had some gorgeous days, cool, sunny, low humidity.

Yes, I love visiting out west, but everything is so far away. 450 miles to there, 350 to here... Then throw in a couple 600 milers to get there. Its a lot of riding. It's a every two to three year annual trip.

Where to next? Is the Canadian border open yet??
 
Welcome to my world Norm. I know what you mean about the distance to anywhere from anywhere. As I've said before, I have to go 6-7 hours in any direction to get to some entertaining roads. That's why I do so much trailering these days. I can literally wear out the center tread just going to a place where I can use the edges of the tires.

Glad you had such a good time and got back home safely with no major issues.
