    Just signed up. I've had my vfr for about 6 months now, it's a 1990 with 27k miles. I've had a few rr bikes in the past but now that I'm getting older I'm starting to get more interested in touring. Picked the bike up for cheap and I'm loving it

    Welcome Mike. You should enjoy the touring on the VFR. As others would say, how about some photos? I'm located a bit north of Show Low if you ever get up this way maybe we can do a meet n greet and ride.

    Nice looking bike Mike. So you are at the bottom of the Coronado Trail. Did you travel the 191 last month when in Show Low? If so, what is the condition of the trail?

    I didn't take 191, we were traveling at night so no need to take the scenic route. We took the 70 to globe and then headed north through salt river. The base of the Coronado trail is in Morenci, which is about 45 minutes from where I am

    Yes, I'm familiar with Rte 666, although it has been probably over 10 years since I have run it. I was just wondering if it has improved or degraded in the recent past. It appears you are about half the distance from the south end as I am from the north end.

    It's been about 3 years since I took my jeep up it, I don't remember it being very bad. Usually if I'm going to alpine I'll go through mule creek and up the new Mexico side since it's faster
