Where the heck did you find that? But yay! I missed the iron butt, due to the well-known but ill-considered shortage on BMW GS odometers, and my reluctance to ride at night. A few minutes short, sadly. Did get a free entry next year for siccing the owner of the Studio coffee shop in Wheeler onto David...Sponsored stop 2026. May be more as well, the chair of an organization of 29 Northern Texas Counties happened in while we were talking and was very excited. BTW the 'Tincinerator' is my fav stop pic too lol Edited Friday at 04:10 PM by Pressureangle 2
PJPR01 Posted Sunday at 04:48 PM Posted Sunday at 04:48 PM (edited) Finished up yesterday with a 600 mile round trip for the last 3 stops! Hope your suggestions make it into the tour next year! Edited Sunday at 04:49 PM by PJPR01 4

Don't forget to upload your 'Ride Texas' mag picture as a separate stop- I hadn't seen that it's stop #0. 2
PJPR01 Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM (edited) Eric…I think you would be very happy on a solid Norge for touring! Here’s mine from earlier in the year at Rusk camp ground! Hard to beat for all day comfort, great in the twisties with an upgraded suspension and high speed touring… Edited Sunday at 11:36 PM by PJPR01 4

That bike with some heart = Norge, I think. I haven't been notified that I won the raffle yet, but it's early. 3
PJPR01 Posted yesterday at 02:11 PM Posted yesterday at 02:11 PM (edited) I'm also still waiting to see if I won the raffle...I bought 100 tickets, so hoping to have a twin...if I win it, will sell it to you very cheap! I had my Norge out yesterday for a nice 100 miler thru the forest, the bike is running phenomenally after several months of extremely detailed electrical work, fixing some corroded wires, painting some panels and general extreme cleaning with a steam cleaner from head to toe. All of that to say that I'm now getting 50 mpg, which I've never seen before on my usual run, as I'm used to getting 42 all of these years. Good karma I'm guessing!

Pressureangle Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Welp, looks like no Norge. But I see that they're not criminally expensive (used anyway) so there's a year to get saddled. 2
