      That happened once before. I led a group to Roads End in Kings Canyon. After the rest break at the end, I waited for Vern and Robin Shrader to finish their shopping in the general store while the rest of the group rode off to have lunch at the lodge. By the time they were ready to ride, the rest of the group was long gone. I got a “what’s the plan?” look from Vern to which I said “Go get ’em!”. What followed was the most exhilarating ride of my life. Keeping my attention firmly fixed on Vern’s tail light, I managed to keep up. We ordered lunch at the same time as the group. Now, could I do that again with Vern on his K16 and me on my Airhead (along with my diminished skills)? Nope. But I still believe I can manage.

      I’m having difficulty with the forums while using my laptop and phone. It says I’m logged in, but I cannot see or post to the forums. There is a note at the top of the screen which reads “You must be a member…” (even though I am logged in). Shrug.

        Bill Reitz – That means I’ll have to load Tyre on my i3! Don’t I just need the waypoints to get an idea where I’m going? Do I really need turn by turn if I’m riding in a group?
        (note: I still haven’t upgraded my Garmin file!)

          O.K., I’ve downloaded Tyre and can now see the routes. I’m good.

            Turn by turn would be ok.

              Hi, Karl. I appreciate the post, but I don’t have the software to open any of these files. Sure, I’m sure I can open them on my old laptop I use ONLY to update maps on my Nav4, but it’s stuffed under my bed gathering dust and protecting me from monsters.
              Would it be possible to list the waypoints?
              Thank you,

                Karl – Amazingly, it looks like I’m in! Amazingly, I asked Ida if she was interested (she hates to take time off work), and she said “yes”!

                  Adam – Parking a car might be a problem. You may have to unload it at the campsite and park it some distance away. Be prepared for that!

                      Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this year.
                      I hope everyone has a good time, a Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year!

                            Rick – sorry to hear that. I know it worked once, a while back. I know park rangers don’t enforce park rules consistently (two motorcycles = one car at a campsite for example) and the rules may have changed.

                              I could go for some pie.

                                …and I believe every pass holder can have six guests, even if they are on separate motorcycles!

                                  FYI, the start time is 10:00 am on the ical file…

                                    My experience has been that the loaner policy varies by dealer, but the typical answer is you get a loaner (if one is available) if you bought the bike there. Just because it’s a BMW doesn’t matter.

                                    Another solution is to do your own service.

                                            Thanks for the attachment size limit, Rick. I adjusted my camera settings.
