[Oilhed]

Most likely I'll be there, but keep me on the maybe list for now.  

Just go for it!  It's only $5 a nite!

[ConPilot1]

You sound like a cat that's thinking about backing out.

Sadly, looks to be the case now.  

[Meemuh]

WTF?

[Mr.Black]

Heh. Didn't see that coming............

[ChrisZRX]

Just ordered me a new Scorpion EXO 750 helmet and Sidi Fusion Rain Boots.

Helmet was $159 at Amazon, boots were $180 at motorcyclegear.com.

My gear wardrobe is back up to par.

Heh. Didn't see that coming............

uh-huh...

This converts your google map to a universal GPX file that the Garmin software can import.  

I usually go in and hand-edit the XML to clean up the waypoint names, but if you don't care about names like "Waypoint 1", it works just fine.

Thx.  I was tempted to give you +1 reps for the tip, but I didn't want to upset your +/- ratio.
I understand you can also go from gpx to Google maps on http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=googleearth
But knowing that it can be done, and being able to do it are two very different levels of proficiency.
And my previous attempt to download & import a kml failed the latter.  I'll be giving it another try.
In the meantime, I've been using the same method as JJ, and I didn't have any trouble mastering the technique.

Lol... Well I'm sure something could turn up along the way...  

Well, there's Williams River road.  Runs parallel south of 15.

Skee, I would have thought you had those roads in your internal GPS    I know you have ridden most of them.  

Just a comment:  over the years I have converted and copied many routes, but anymore, I just redo them in Mapsource.  Sounds like a lot of work, but really not that bad.  In any case I walk right down the copied route and check it out for possible bad spots.  Far too many times I've had the copied routes glitch out on me.

First page has been updated to reflect your change in status. If'n you get things worked out and want back on the "definite" list, just say the word.

Do you think it was the thought of getting leaned over in some good twisties or all the talk of the late night debauchery in the parking lot

I guess we'll never find out.

[ConPilot1]

I guess we'll never find out.

Yeah ya never freaking know. I don't. Life is uncertain, and cubicle jobs suck ass.
Even though we all know if it weren't for cubicles, STN would cease to exist.  

I've about had enough of the cubicle shit. I want to sell hot dogs on the beach.

"You want ketchup on that m-erf*cker"??? Biggest problem of the day..

Probably not. I love twisties. And I love parking lot debauchery even more..

Tent/Room debauchery is even better.

Nobody puts ketchup on a hotdog.



Now, suck it up cupcake.

[Hell's Bella]

Leaned over or bent over, its all good fun!

Yeah. What mr. Bella Francois said.

[ConPilot1]

If it's in the cards at the time, I'll be there. I do really want to go.  

I need a couple days out of this god-forsaken valley, some cool mountain air.
