    The model(s) you want aren't reliable or all BMWs?

    I've read the spectrum on K13GT reliability. Talked to a guy in SATX who did +100K on his K13GT before a drive shaft failure. He tried to talk me into a RT, my mind was already made up. Lol

    In general

    I rode to Wolf Creek Park near the SW end of Lake Livingston for lunch but the gate dude said nope, you can buy stuff at the store but the only cooking here is done by campers. He sent me to Paradise Grille in Coldspring just a block from the courthouse. Good food & people, I'll go back.

    I doubled back for a ride thru Wolf Creek because I hadn't been there since I was 16. It's a very well kept TRA facility.

    Went riding yesterday with my brother from a different mother.. Didn't go far, only,about, 200 miles, but it took over 5 hours. Rode the back roads and stayed away from most of the idiots just getting out after weeks of not driving.
    We still had a great time just cruising and not worrying about anything.

    What is an ear saver?
    When wearing a mask that loops around your ears, if they are worn for a long time, can cause irritation or even bleeding in some people. These allow the wearer to hook the loops onto the ear saver instead.
    I've donated over 800 of the regular ones that I've made on my 3D printers over the past 6 weeks in addition to face shields as well.

    Ok.
    Makes sense, but I have yet to wear a mask, so I never heard of them.

    After 18 days of ownership, I ticked off my 1,000th mile in Weldon which is near the Eastham Unit where Clyde Barrow took up residency for a bit. FM230 between Trinity and Eastham is probably the best ride I've found but nothin for you old hands.

    And I don't like thinking about or using the T word, unfortunately it is a major factor in my life. :(

    BTW: there's cattle in that pic but the lighting sucks. I heard a very few birds chirping, mostly just disgruntled (?) cows mooing. It was truly calm and quiet there.

    Making a run up to Arkansas in a couple of weeks. Got a campsite at Queen Wilhemina State Park on the Talimena Scenic Byway. Literally 100's of miles of fantastic riding in Ouachita and Ozark National Forests. 4 nights for about 100 bucks.

    Love that area. And in case you haven't experienced the local flavor before ...

    I recommend eating at the Hateful Hussie in Talihina, OK. Had grilled pork chops last time I was there.
    And you have to ride down 272 to Rich Mountain Country Store for a cool beverage.

    I also discovered hiway 144. It's a paved, rural road between Talihina and Broken Bow. Scenic views and curvy roads.

    On the opposite end of the byway, south of Mena on 375 a couple miles and county road 44 turns west and look for county road 402. Follows a creek winding around Dallas Mountain. it was paved most of the way. last few miles was maintained dirt. Will eventually return to 375 further south. Lots of ATV trail heads along the way.

    Have fun and please report back your experiences and discoveries.

    It's about 5 hours for me to get to either Talihina or Mena.

    After my divorce,, I looked at property around Mena and came close to making offers.

    Last fall, a buddy and I spent a few days riding around Clarksville, AR.
