I'll meet you guys there but I'll have to peel off at Horseshoe Bend to head over to Emmett. I don't think I could make the loop and be back in Garden City by 4 PM for work.

m5james · 10-17-2009, 12:46 AM

So after much texting, KY and swapping of tampons...we'll be at Chevron also. Beacon is the Chevron off 55, not the one out by Micron, correct? I don't know the Lowman Loop, so is this kind of like HSB but not going through Emmett?

Because I was on those roads this week. All the rain caused alot of runoff on at least a dozen places on Hwy 21. The runoff put all kinds of sandbars and debris on the road. If you go, take lots of pictures of your bike before the ride (in case you get all nostalgic later on).

m5james · 10-17-2009, 01:50 AM

Jesus fuckin christ...fucked if ya do, fucked if ya dont.

Yes to both questions.

DB Cooper · 10-17-2009, 08:00 AM

I guess it really doesn't matter where you ride at, the roads are going to be crappy in some places due to the rain we had here.

That road gets rock slides even in the nicest weather. I wouldn't let it stop you from riding out there. It's a nice ride with interesting scenery.

Linker33 · 10-17-2009, 10:50 AM

Just pay attention to the landscape on the side of the road. If it's steep with dirt and rocks, then there might be debris in the road.

ChrisXAppleSauce · 10-17-2009, 11:48 AM

You guys make rides so difficult - just watch the roads

Lol and that pic is nothing in comparison to that ride you and I did last winter. I'm not sure why niether of us take a pic of that. The road was completely covered with avocado sized rocks, and larger, in a couple of spots.

Linker33 · 10-17-2009, 05:04 PM

All the way from Eagle to Lowman, roads are great. Between Lowman and IC though, there's quite a bit of black chipseal gravel on the parts that they oiled. Really no debris from off the road however.

Good ride. Weather was great.

Gem STate ST · 10-17-2009, 06:34 PM

Hey Duckller,the Ducs sounded good coming thru the Owyhee canyon.The ST almost drownded you guys out luckily he was in the rear.Rode with Mama today and that was us at the rest area.We went all the way in to where the store used to be.On the way out we had a coyote come up from the lake and cross not 20' in front of us.

theduckllr · 10-17-2009, 06:45 PM

Saw you over there! It was an epic ride today. Just amazing scenery, great roads, unbelievably close by.

m5james · 10-17-2009, 06:47 PM

Awesome ride today. That's the first time i've done the loop completely from from Beacon Chevron to Gowen Chevron. Other than a few miles of gravel and 2 soaking wet patches of asphalt w/ snow on the sides, it went perfectly. Definately wanna do that one again, going the other way.

BTW - what the hell does a guy gotta do to be able to upload more than one stupid pic at a time?

Below are the pics from Beacon Chevron

m5james · 10-17-2009, 06:51 PM

More from Beacon Chevron...

m5james · 10-17-2009, 06:52 PM

And some more...

m5james · 10-17-2009, 06:54 PM

Our stop in Lowman....no food just yet

But we did pickup another rider. Today was a popular TLR/SV kinda day

STR8UP41908 · 10-17-2009, 06:54 PM

good ride today guys....weather was awsome

m5james · 10-17-2009, 06:55 PM

Idaho City Sinclair gas stations...lots of people left from here.

m5james · 10-17-2009, 06:58 PM

FOOOOOODDDD!!!!! I don't rememeber the name of the place, but it was good stuff either way.

Once again, great ride...looking forward to doing that again coming from the other direction. What's the plan tomorrow High 60's and we're clear till about 8pm

STR8UP41908 · 10-17-2009, 07:08 PM

good pics man...hope i wasnt holding u from IC to Boise....if I was sorry bout that

m5james · 10-17-2009, 07:13 PM

You were fine bro. If I wanted to pass, I'd find a way to safely do it. Being two up is definately different, but I held up pretty damn good

Definately looking forward to cutting that up w/o a passenger so I can push it harder. Hell, i'm still happy that I'm getting better gas mileage now to since I swapped in that new regulator/rectifier...today was a win win!

STR8UP41908 · 10-17-2009, 07:33 PM

right on..well hope to get to do it again real soon....had alot of fun today

tjdmobile · 10-17-2009, 07:42 PM

Sorry I missed this one. My neighbor was going to head out in the desert with me, but got called to work last minute. It was KSU for you before I found that out...

bummer for me. Sounds like a fun day was it damn windy up there like it was down here?

m5james · 10-17-2009, 07:49 PM

I remember only 1 spot of really strong wind, otherwise it was actually great weather...not hot and definately not cold.

No, it wasn't windy at all.

It's OK, gotta take care of the family first.

cms1172 · 10-17-2009, 08:36 PM

Hey James, was that another Buell I saw in those pics that went up with you guys

m5james · 10-17-2009, 09:07 PM

Yeah, it was my buddies S. You're name actually came up because I didn't know there was an S and SS.

Other than Christy's ride tomorrow, I don't know what else is goin on tomorrow. Maybe we should start coordinating the same ride for tomorrow going the reverse direction.

Anyone wanna meet at the Gowen Chevron tomorrow @ 11am?

Linker33 · 10-17-2009, 09:08 PM

I might be up for reverse.

m5james · 10-17-2009, 09:17 PM

You slut :P

I'll start texting the phone numbers I have and see how that turns out.

cms1172 · 10-17-2009, 09:43 PM

Mine is an Ss, longer frame, little more stretched out.

m5james · 10-17-2009, 09:50 PM

1 - James
2 - Linker
