I was having relationship problems. We have since come to an agreement so I thought I would share for the benefit of others.
Monty (my Montana 680t) and I have had a working relationship for about 3 months now. I was less than impressed at first but have learned a few things about "his ways" over the last few weeks. My destination when I left southern Ontario was Dillon Colorado. I gave Monty his instructions, no toll highways, no interstates, no major highways and pressed GO!
For the first four days inevitably after about an hour he put on one of the no no no's!!!
One time I followed him and gave up. Fine Monty, fine! I was looking at 200 miles of interstate but at least I was heading west so decided to go with him. I pulled off at a rest stop to stretch my legs after only 5 miles into it. Monty had been thinking while I was gone because when I jumped back on he had me pull off at the next off ramp. Good Monty, good BOY!!! He picked a route over the interstate and onto about 2 miles of gravel to a country road heading west. I was so impressed and happy with my little fellow! He was finally GETTING IT!! So, what I "think" I have discovered is to not overload the little guy. I had NO complaints at all for "about" my last 900-1000 miles of my destination. Monty totally did as I asked and we are now good buddies again.

Presently in Moab at my camp site WITH INTERNET. Arches and White Rim on my radar. Anyone in the area wanting to join me let me know. I might just chill a couple of days catching up on chores. Not sure if it makes any difference but thinking Monday "might" be less busy.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
