Should have a VFR in the near future.

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Damn, there's a nice VFR on there for a decent price. Too bad it's in Chicago. All the good deals are 1000 miles away.
I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.
If the deal's good enough, fly-n-ride!
I'm considering doing something similar, but not for a viffer

When you factor in overcoming the distance they turn into not a great deal.If the deal's good enough, fly-n-ride!

It's not the destination, it's the journey...When you factor in overcoming the distance they turn into not a great deal.
Found a bike in the southeast that I wouldn't mind owning... hell of a lot cheaper (several K) then in CO. Airfare's 200 bucks, figure one or two nights lodging, gas and food... Still ahead... And, another ride through states I've never been in!

people get too hung up on "a good deal"
Meanwhile a "fair deal" would have you enjoying your ride and the riding season already

The alternative would be to ship it. We found a good deal on a dual sport in the midwest and it cost around $300 for shipping though uship.com iirc.
+1 agree with fly/ride. But that would depend on the states you have to ride through. Western states with twisties yeah, the hell that is Iowa and Kansas? No thanks.

Been there... nothing quite like 100+ degrees in the desert w/ a highway that vanishes to a point. And when you get to that point, you turn left and head to another distant point.
I now value audio books and a bluetooth headset more than ever!

...or 100+ for months on end with 50% humidity and rarely getting below 90 at night...with 85% humidity to greet you in the morning. That is the main reason why we moved from away Austin. I put 16,000 miles on my Sprint in the past 9 years, probably about 1,500 in the last three years because riding just became too miserable to enjoy. It became too easy to put the top up on the car and turn the A/C on when it got too hot.
No thank you... Born and raised in CO. I don't deal well with humidity.

I recently bought sport touring tires 2 weeks ago, I plan to do some longer rides this season like to the western slope, durango, million dollar highway, possibly Taos. As for the headset issue, I figured maybe with all the sport touring guys in this thread maybe they can chime in on a good headset.
I bought a cheapy one off amazon to see if I would like it. But I just can't live without earplugs, the wind noise is too great (maybe my helmet sucks ass) but I would love to have a headset I could hear the navi turns and music and talk freely without having to hear the wind noise. Maybe I need a louder unit or a quieter helmet. Do you guys use earplugs and STILL are able to hear your music/talking on the headset?
