Here's a route that I've done through WV and VA. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1nITcMp0wcS1gYeKPxlWu6SZLEdY Believe it or not 219 south of Elkins is a great road. 61 from Narrows VA to Tazewell is very scenic as it runs along a river. After that you hit the Back Of The Dragon for tons...

Listening to a little late 70's pop reggae. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMrNDnU6PPk&list=PLCE91D90E82AC62FD

I might just dust off the dooche vest, cancel my insurance, remove my plate and exhaust and show up for this.

Those are overkill if you're not off roading. I've been wearing Dianese TRQ Tour Gore Tex boots for a couple of years and I'm very happy with them. They might be a bit warm, like all GoreTex is, on super hot days but they've been totally waterproof when it counts. If you plan on touring I think...

There is an industry wide driver shortage in the trucking and it's getting worse. That's why companies are hiring bottom of the barrel drivers. It's not like the old days when truck drivers were professionals, now if you can't do anything else you drive a truck. The industry is working on ways...

I had a 2008 Bandit 1250 for a couple of years too. Very similar set up. The bike was a great all arounder and I toured on it quite a bit. The only thing I found a bit lacking was the front suspension. Here's a picture of mine when I first got it.

Chief Joseph Pass?

I don't have one. I've never toured on one. I would assume the GT would be more comfortable and more enjoyable to do a 4000KM to 5000KM trip on because of the luggage and wind protection. Pull of the luggage and it's not a lot different that the R. I think the weight is only 35 pounds more.

I have a pair of Held EVO Thrux I've been wearing a few years and couldn't be happier. The workmanship and construction of the gloves is second to none and they still look brand new. Haven't gone down in them but would assume they would provide excellent protection in the case of an off...

I have those Aerostich covers and I've worn them over regular non waterproof gloves and the work pretty well. I do have issues with getting the size large over my size large gloves with armored knuckles. They're also very slippery on the controls so I'm thinking of rubberizing the finger tips...

That's dirty pool.

How did you know that's what we're into? :agave:

Last year my wife came home from work one day and said she wanted to learn to ride. It was a surprise to me and didn't really know how to feel about it. She took the course and past the M1 exit on her first try. That was in July of 2015. She didn't ride again until this spring when we went out...

I did NC197 lat year for the first time and really enjoyed it. The gravel section is not too gnarly and well worth it for the rest of the road. Here's a pretty shakey video my buddy took following me. https://youtu.be/HTE7iUfufWM

A buddy and I left Oakville at 1:00 PM and Headed to Brantford to pick up some Rok Straps at Dual Sport. Took Cokshutt Rd into Dover which was heavily congested at hwy 3. Once past that we rode down the main drag and parked near the war memorial. We spent an hour or so there and at that point...

That's one of my favorite road signs.

I assume they wouldn't let you take a bike out. They want a credit card before going out as well. There was a rider that grabbed too much throttle on a Diavel X launching it into an unintentional 12 o'clock wheelie and putting it into the ditch on the test ride Saturday afternoon. The had to...

At Peninsula last weekend Ducati asked for proof of insurance for any vehicle. Car insurance was acceptable.

New Multistrada Enduro.

A new development. The sanction imposed by the Race Direction at the Malaysian GP is suspended until further action from the CAS. On the basis of Article 3.4.2, para 3 of the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Regulations, Mr Valentino Rossi has filed an Appeal against the decision...
