VT Tag-O-Rama

[catamount]

I'll post up a new one on sunday.

AHAMAYs2's point has been voided. His 48 hour window has expired.



This tag is now open again! Go get it!

Parker, you can't get this one a second time. You have to wait until the next tag to try again. Better luck next time.

Vermont NESR Tag-O-Rama.

Rules:

6. To keep the tags moving, if you claim a tag please try to place the next tag that same day. The maximum time to place the next tag is 48 hours . If it takes you more than 48 hours to put up another tag, you fail.

He already updated the map. . . . so this one should be SIMPLE for people to find.

I am, however, shopping for a bike that is, in many ways, as different from the EX250 as possible. I'm looking at the R1100 and R1150GS in search of a well-loved, cosmetically imperfect, and reasonably-priced ride. (yeah, good luck, I know). I've come to the conclusion that blasting around New England secondary roads, as well as not-quite-secondary roads, is a big part of what I'd like to be able to do. Having more power than Maria's F650GS (not because it's my girlfriend's bike, but because I felt like it was only a significant, not a huge step up from the EX250 in passing ability, given the EX's much greater RPM window), the ability to ride some less-than-maintained roads, and have real hard luggage--all while still being able to enjoy twisties--led me to the GS's, and the R1100 and 1150GS seem to fit the bill (the R100GS would be preferable in some ways, particularly weight, but most of 'em are more expensive than the later models).

Good plan... but don't count out a V-Strom 650. You can get a new one for roughly the same price as a used older GS, and a used one for much less than a GS. It'll be more reliable and cheaper to maintain, it'll get better gas mileage, and with a few suspension upgrades, it will be at least as capable as the GS.

Parker, thanks for giving us something to do tonight...



I told my girlfriend to point and laugh:



Left at 5:30 pm and did a nice 120 mile loop on Rt 15 to Movegas, back on Rt 100 to Waterbury and Rt 2 took us home.

Anyone been to Frida's in Stowe? Great food!

Next tag? Be on the lookout for it within the next 48 hours.

New tag:



I swear I spotted savages on that island above my tank bag.

[sandros]

Awww Crap. I have no idea where that is...One of these days I'll get a tag...just one. So I know what it feels like.

[Doc]

Go out to the Sandbar and look for it.

Slow? Who have you been talking too? Come to the track. I will show you slow.

[sandros]

I'm trying to get to the track, but this whole edumacation stuff keeps getting in the way. I think August will be the month. I'm sure as a first timer in the east i'll run beginner, so you won't get to show me...not really sure how that would work...I think I've got my old racing license somewhere. Have my race school certificates though.

Oh wait, right...tagging...If it continues to clear Justin, I'm going hunting tonight.

If you are doing a trackday in August with LAPS I can show you.

If you have your old cert or license and it isn't too old you can submit it to LRRS to get a new one. How old is it?

[sandros]

My last cert was 2005, my last license was 2006...I'll try and track em down, but I'm guessing that's too old.

[Doc]

Not sure but I can check.

[sandros]

Ok, so I suck at this whole Tag-O-Rama stuff. I couldn't find it, but at least I got a great ride in tonight: 82 miles.

Came home and had to break in to my own apartment...I'm such a dumbass.


EDIT: Well, after 10-minutes of research, I now know where that tag is...And the really stupid part? I drove right friggin by it. Wow...I think I'm getting dumber by studying too much.

According to Google, there's an airport on that island!

Interesting article on the island (now that the name has already been made obvious):

Hope this works, had to get Photobucket account to post the darn picture :



If it does work, I will post a new one tomorrow. If not, I am a failure as a geek and someone needs to post explicit instructions on how to get an image in-line in this forum...

[outdoorvtguy]

Yay! It worked!

[Doc]

Ok... Where is the new one?
