I usually can't take too many long vacations in the summer, but yeah, I'd like to be in the loop on that. Thanks.Originally Posted by bluerider
Yes. You know how FI is sometimes choppy (especially on bigger bikes) when you roll off and back on the throttle? That feeling is gone with the PC. Super smooth.

Def trailer to the Gap - leave early - allow 13 to 14 hours to drive straight through - unpack, have a beer go to sleep - get up and ride the best roads the Smoky Mtn area has to offer. Hell, you don't even have to stay at the Gap all week there are a tonne of awesome roads down there. The Blue Ridge Skyway, The Cherraholla Skyway, Hwy 28 from Franklin all the way to the gap is a great ride.
You will thank yourself for trailering your SS -

Yeah, for sure. Even with MX bars on my 929 I don't want to buzz along for 14 hours... plus the fact that if something goes wrong at the gap you have to find a way home.

Anyone else thinking of zipping down to the Turn2 closing sale on Sunday? Probably will pop down there for 1 pm to see if they have any tires left over....

Yes but i think it is next weekend.
Hey Steve, you still planning a ride for tomorrow? Looks to be quite cool, but I could be in for a shorter afternoon boot.

I'd be up for an afternoon ride as well. As long as we're not gone all afternoon, the wife might come along as well.
Canada is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there.
Possibly lets see what it is like tommorow, I will post around 10 tommorow.
I was through Forks of the Credit today in my car and it's a mess with leaves and leaf mush. I would imagine that River Rd. is the same way. Sideroad 25 off Guelph line is back into good shape though after the tar and chipping they gave it this summer.

It looks like a lot of the rain is going to be south of us.....and start around noon or shortly after.
Any interest of meeting up before noon and heading north? Maybe Hockley Valley and up to River Road?
I'll be wearing my rain gear just in case and we may get a little wet.....

It is raining here now not interested in riding in the rain and cold, one or the other but not both.

According to the satellite, the rain will be past us in the next hourish.
So, let's get this going! 2:30 meet at Bridge and University.
I'll check back in a bit to see who else is in.

My day has turned out busier than I expected... Coupled with crappy weather means I'm out for today.
Got a MX bar though, so maybe later today I'll find time to swap the controls over. Brake line is probably too short though.

Will have to see if anything comes out of that.
Haven't gotten on the bike in for many days not, just sitting in the parking lot covered...poor thing. Could the season be over???? I am hoping snow holds off till after Nov. 18 so at least I can ride it to my new place and get it stored properly.

Snow such language. My freaking ears. ( LOL sorry a line off the simpsons. ) We still have lots of time left before that dreaded Snow arrives. ( crosses fingers ) I hear you about the weather I have not been on the bike since the holiday Monday.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm still okay to just order what we need and forget the group buy. It's not terribly expensive anyway...
