With a bad knee and some hip pain it was getting more painful to ride long distance. Coming back from Ferry STOC I pretty much sealed the deal. I got almost what I paid for it in 2013. I sat on Okckieth's Trophy, really liked the ergo on it. Thats what I'm looking for right now.

I'd look for something like my 2018 K1600B with underseat controls and forward floorboards (nothing like flip out ST highway pegs). Although the RT is my favorite ride my knees tell me it's no comfort contest with the B for slabbing a distance.

I have passed that store hundreds of times over the years and never stopped. May have to give it a try sometime. I usually ride on to Red River for breakfast at Shotgun Willies.
I like Willy's also, but Gladstone Mercantile has better burritos and burgers. They also sell some great "home made" style of veggies in jars. I love their pickled okra and some of the hot pickles. The lady who cooks also makes some fantastic actual home made cream cheese dessert pockets!

Well if they have hot pickles I will be stopping.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I wish, not that simple when the W word comes into the equation, I may be done for the year due to some aggressive planning. Or, may not be able to burn any vacation 'til later in the year.Come on Mellow re-direct and meet us in Sipapu!!!!

Thread bump.
Mark B from St Louis area is thinking of meeting up in Pampa on 8 Sept on the way to Sipapu.
Camping weather looking good: Sipapu lower 70's to mid 40's. For me getting there: Shreveport lower 80's to lower 70's and Pampa mid 80's to lower 60's.

When I used to live in Denver about 30 years ago, I went down to the Sipapu Rally a few years. I’m just curious….how many days are you taking to get there from FL?

Speaking of straight, judging from your avatar, you barely have time to get your bike painted, an odd couple on matching RT's???
