I get up to Evanston and go up through the Uintahs and into Evanston on several occasions throughout the summer.

Let me know if any Evanston VTXers are out there or you have any events planned. I'd be interested in hooking up.

Anyone ride the Monte Cristo Loop, through Woodruff?

George, from Casper. I also ride a ST1300 and spend a lot of time down into Co, mostly on the west slope. Give me a call at (307)472-3278 if you're in the area, if I'm free we'll ride.

God Bless,
George

George:

How do you like your ST1300? I'm thinking of one. Please, give it to me straight. I can take it. LOL :) :D :lol:

Casper WY VTX rider - FYI

gstanfiled - where was the burnout in the pic going down - looks familar to me in Casper?

It happened on the overlook spot on Casper mt. It seems like the factory rear tire will only get about 4000 miles on it before I'm bald, but hey there's a cost for fun :D

Ride hard,
George

I have seen a couple dozen in the Casper area, and have told a few abvout this site, but so far havn't actually seen any of them on here, unless maybe rookie or Chris (he's a newbie, only one post so far) may happen to be one of the ones I have talked too. Maybe we'll just have to plan some kinda get together this summer, afterall, WY isn't that big of a state to drive from one side of to the other when you're on a bike, at least it ain't for me, but then again I ride LOTS!!!

Wow, are there only 4 riders from Wyoming? I know I've seen many more VTXs on the road than that. Here is the list so far:

MUTT - Cheyenne
Shrek - Sheridan
George - Casper
Rookie - Casper
Chris001 - Casper

Where is everyone else?

Me and a bunch of VTXers from Salt Lake City area went to the Freedom Rally over Memorial Day weekend. While there we met several VTXers from the Evanston area. Next time, I see any VTXers up around Evanstan area, I'll try and tell them about this website.

Hey MUTT, good picture

I'm a Calif. X'er and I'll be passing through WY on the 16th en route to CT. I'll be taking 80 across and was wondering if there was anything I need to watch for (long stretches w/o servics, quick places to snap a couple photo's, speed traps, good eats). Mostly looking for stuff that's right along 80.

If there's things I should watch for, let me know...thanx

Hey ndmeathead,

Welcome to Wyoming! Sheridan looks to be a nice place to live. :D Have a safe move out and touch base when you get situated :D

hello, had a safe half move :) gonna get the rest of my stuff after christmas, I'll be here until the 22nd. Looks like none of us will be doing any riding though. I'm staying in ranchester until i get an apartment lined up in Sheridan. Have a Merry Christmas all. Hey ndmeathead, glad you made it out here all right. I have been hoping it melts a little just to take the X out for a short spin but no luck yet. Welcome and you have a great Christmas too!! :D

well he live in cheyenne wiyh no comp but he will ill get him on that soon though lol 8) p.s. any help on gas milages

mutt

02-13-2006, 12:34 PM

If your mileage is that low, you've got something wrong. You should at least be hitting the 90-110 mile mark before the light even starts to come on. Did you get it from the dealer there in Laramie? If so, take it to them and let them know what is going on. Hopefully your driving isn't what is causing the poor mileage. Next time you are down this way, give me a call. (307)631-7020. Cell phone number. If you call during the day, you'll have to leave a message. I can't take my cell phone into my work place.

Sully03

02-13-2006, 10:47 PM

ditto with what mutt says 80dtylord. I get about 105-110 before reserve light comes on. My 03 is stock too so 70 miles to a tank really does not sound right at all. Even driving like a mad man would be hard to burn through that much fuel difference.

Have a good mechanic check it out....

Welcome to the site. Great info and very helpful bunch of riders.... :)

02-14-2006, 11:51 PM

well i was looking at 02 had like 4 mile on it at mavercks they want my sporty and 6 grand well to me that over 12k hell i can buy a new06 for that so headed to denver started looking ended up at sun's honda found 03 {ill blue} o miles still in create left over my 01 sporty and 3600 a grand totle 9600 with a 1 year warrenty sounded better to me anyway lol so nov 24 05 pick it up and road it home rode it like i stole it lol so do yall think it was a good deal and am going to call them tomarrow and see about the gas mileage cuz i do ride it hard but no harder than my friend rides he's and he's is like yall were saying 90-110 before the light come on mine like 70 also i read in the tech fourm that some had this problem and they said change the plugs has anyone around here heard of this and what kind of plugs do u run am wondering cuz were so much higher in elevation if maybe the problem could just be the senser in the tank and mutt i love how low ur bike sets ty guys for ur help

mutt

02-15-2006, 11:42 AM

I can guarantee that 02 model was way over priced. By the way, when you fill your tank, do you hold the bike in an upright position while filling it? Just trying to eliminate a few factors. If you keep it tilted, your tank won't get full. Remember too, the wrist can often times control your mileage. The harder and faster you turn that right wrist, the quicker you will run out of fuel.

scooter at suns said to wait till my first oil change witch is do now 588 miles and ur right i do full it up on it side and i do drive it pretty hard it probley just me lol it just so easy to burn that back tire by the way mutt i gave my friend ur number too and ur right again i need to watch my right wrist i have attendce to make it hop alot lol my fault well i guess i better get ready for my dam birthday party there having lol not another one already :twisted: 8)

02-16-2006, 12:23 AM

Hey 80dtylord,
Sounds like you have a serious case of Heavy Throttle Wrist :D :D

I have heard that you do get better mileage as you break it in. Maybe time will tell.Try filling it up with the bike upright and then drive like an old guy for one tankful. Of course you might find that mileage is not that important if you start feeling like an old guy.. :wink:

80dtylord

02-16-2006, 01:38 PM

ya am going to try it it wont hurt being old for at least one tank lol :twisted: 8)

Sully03

02-16-2006, 10:05 PM

Best of luck! Remember only one tankful. You don't want to wake up with a gold(old) Wing in your droveway. :D

80dtylord

02-17-2006, 08:04 AM

omg i think the oldwing woke up in the bed this morning look the vtx still there can i try this theory with a half a tank dont want thatgold oldwing around my drive bed lol :twisted: 8)

Hey Silver Tip,

When in July are you going to be in Sheridan? My wife and I are doing the Colorado VTX run June 29-July4. Don't know what your plans or dates are but from what I here that is one heck of an event... You might want to look into it if you have a chance.. If you are in Sheridan after July 4th let me know...

ShrekTBA lives in Sheridan and probably would ride too if the dates work....

We will not fight the traffic over the 4th so we intend on heading your way just after that holiday cools down. That will but is in the state about the 10th we always hit the Laramie brown and gold store just after coming up through Fort Collins. (Go Pokes)

Hey everyone,
I am from Casper, WY and am really interested in getting together this year with everyone to go on some rides. Been a member since 2003 but not really active. Actually I forgot my original username and had to sign in as a new member. Anyway, look forward to it. Lets have fun this summer.
