^^^Looks like a great setup, hope you enjoy it.

Yup was down there last week. It is $80 for diesel oil change and $60 for gassers. $10 tire rotation. Free software upgrades, but they take hours.

The hay haulers running triples and crosswinds. Not fun, going to try to find an alternate route to get rolling. I got $1K spent on 3 track days and no wheels.

^^^Thanks coming back from just east of Craters all the way to SV, was a challenge. It was windy AF.

Been riding almost exactly a year now. Yesterday I made a 150 mile loop over Antelope Pass out in the Copper Basin on my Yamaha XT-250, solo. I thought it was a good accomplishment for a novice. ...

I like Chev and Toyota, but would consider a Ford if I wanted a giant truck camper and it kept me from needing a dually in GM. Fords w aluminum bodies have substantially more payload than Ram or GM...

My advice would be to drive a GM 1T before buying a 3/4 T of any brand. They ride very well even empty and exactly the same as the 2500, it's the same spring pack.
The 3500 includes 2 overload...

I believe you can get a 1T Chevy LT gasser btwn 55-60K, nicely equipped, but no leather, heads up display, etc. And the price difference btwn 3/4T and 1 T is neglible, which prompts me to wonder...

Since #2 and #3 are not mutually exclusive can we pick both?

You should plan a 250/2500 or more for the FWC. And the 8 foot FWC (grandby) makes a huge difference in livability over the Hawk

Sounds like fear of overspending or actual overspending. And guessing they are in there early 60 tees at least one of them could make it to 90yo so there could be a 30yr time line, allowing plenty of...

If anybody forms a group to make a buy, I am in. Would contribute time to the effort as well.

I simply will not invest in companies that over promise and under deliver as a strategy in the search for profit, particularly in health care, considering the negative impact on customers lives. ...

Thanks guys! It is just one night. The on street parking sounds like it will work and I will check out B&C Club and the Double Tree. We stayed at the same hotel as the TTB last summer in Reno. Saw...

We are attending the Tedeshi Trucks concert in early August. What is a good place to stay? Checked on The Wren, while I know it is good need hassle free parking for my truck camper. Thanks!

Headed down to DEN tomorrow to participate in a 2 day Yamaha Champ School over the weekend at High Plains Raceway. To say this novice rider w less than a year of experience is anxious and nervous is...

Glad you got that figured out in time! Hope your recovery is full and complete.

Here is the mens DH training runs from Friday 3/21. The race was canceled.

^^^was ready to post that. It certainly explains a lot.

Wish I knew how to post a pic these days. Fun finish for the week that's for sure.

Pretty cool! It was a rather difficult day for visibility and less than ideal snow and temps, but far better than yesterdays cancellation of the DH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_8KBzFOP2A

Well damn, wasted a ton of effort yesterday. Hopefully all is well for the Super-G today.

Got up for a couple hours prior to riding, but no corn for me. Skipped today and went mc riding again. MC riding is my new afflicition.

Took my first ride of 2025 yesterday out near the lava flows on the Yamaha XT-250. Looking forward to many more days riding this year!

This is how I fixed my range issues:

Did I mention Sprinters range sucks? For those transiting or camping in NV, after the first trip or 2, we never skipped the chance to refuel.

Just came to add to my post. I would never go to Baja with a Sprinter, having had the experience of being in a broke down truck in 1986. Thankfully I was stuck at Las Brisas campground in San Jose,...
