Sounds like you had a great trip, thanks for taking the time to share it. Northbound on the BRP I would always stop at the poor farmers market in meadows of Dan for a sub and munchies and have stayed at Willville a few times over the years before my old ass decided to start staying at motels.

I'm close to the border, but my normal route is US219 to Pearisburg VA in one day, US219 ends in Rich Creek and Pearisburg is 10 miles away. I stay at the Plaza Motel, cheap and clean as of 4 years ago lol and the Mexican place across the road was good. I went down 2 weeks ago in the miata...

Yes

From what I understand the Weatherby is available in .460 Weatherby Magnum and that is above 10,000 joules so they Banned the ENTIRE line as variant of the one chambered in that caliber . There's a few other rifle lines that currently sound like they will be banned by the same logic.

The liberals changed that, while the lower reciever of an AR is legally the actual "firearm" they reworded things so a AR upper receiver is also considered prohib now. https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/pafqa-afaqa-en.aspx

I have work coverage, but always get CAA for the time I'm down there on the bike, last time pre-covid it may have been 50 or $60 for 9 days. Years ago we had a guy auger into the side of the Dragon, he was over $250k in medical bills before he got home, luckily he was covered. personally I...

They hand you a stack of cash before the test ride, and after you make sure the have their M2/M. Or you just say no test pilots.

You might want to call those companies back and get a quote for you and your bike with your M2, you may discover that it is priced out of your range even when you get your M2. Start planning ahead, ask your broker who they deal with and what bikes are blacklisted, If your gixxer rate is $$$$...

On your first day when you leave 219 how is the rest of your days ride?, I've been doing 219 all the way down then staying in Pearisburg for the 4 or 5 years before the border closed. I've only been doing 2 days down and back.

Might want to look into the lifespan of the foam inserts in your jacket and pants while your at it. Like you I've read that over time the level of protection from impact is reduced but I don't know by how much.

Just curious but have you contacted any of the people that didn't stay and ask why they left?

Great recap, I've bookmarked this for future trips. The last few trips down to Deals Gap I've done US219 from start to finish and stay in Pearisburg Virginia overnight, Interstate on both bikes (600 Katana/vfr800) that I've ridden down there kill my knee after a few hours but 219 is enough...

Take a good look at the palm of your gloves, I had one pair that had a seam that ran across the meat of the thumb and my hand would start to go numb after a while. Could be your gloves pinching a nerve.

Beautiful car, always loved those cars but I decided to go the MX-5 route myself.

Thanks for the reminder to update the GPS.
