Get off the slabs. There are plenty of good rides in KS but not on the fast tracks. People passing through are in too big a hurry to take the two lanes and county roads, where most of the fun is. Lots of lakes, fishing holes, some motorcycle museums, historical sights, waterfalls and destination events. It's in the middle of the nation and a days ride from mountains on both sides, for you twisty lovers. Not my favorite place to live but the place I live. Lemonade anyone ?

I grew up on Lyon's Ave. just east of 10th st. at the bottom of Bokie (?) Can't remember how it was spelled.

I've been trying to get my buddies over here in (do I dare say Independence?)
to ride over and around Wyandotte County lake. It's the drive to get to it they
don't want any part of.

I'll tell you. I spent a while out there for work. Between Arthur Bryants, Gates, and the woman that kept me warm for a while when I was there, I almost became a permanent resident. LOL!
