Just finished the first run across Gila. Silver City to Truth or Consequences. Think 60 mile long Warwoman with much more elevation change. Only had to pass one car, no cops. Quick snack break then about 150 back across to Arizona.

Then 45 miles of glorious roads. Some of the best I have ever been on. Until we got to these two choices.

I almost bought a BMW C650 scooter. I didn't but noticed the slick, enclosed chain drive setup. "Final drive is by chain that runs in an oil bath. Adjustment, if needed, is done by changing guides for different thicknesses. Countershaft sprocket is located on the swingarm pivot axis for improved longevity."

It's all about the adventure I'm still so jealous and wish it was me dealing with these problems.

As much as I despise getting up early - I'll be there... at least I won't have to comb my hair. I need a long ride to get ready for my NY moto-camping trip via MI & Canada, on June 1st.

Used all my "likes" in this one thread. I feel dirty.

Yup that's one of my routes I took you guys on. Awesome day except that tractor I about plowed into ..lol

Just drew this up. It looks similar to a ride @2talltim and @Casper and I did a few year ago without stopping at NOC. Looks like a good ride if you got an early start and stopped for breakfast. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Fontana+Village,+NC/13077+W+Hwy+19,+Bryson+City,+NC+28713/34.6273013,-83.9495696/Wolf+Pen+Gap+Country+Store,+Wolf+Pen+Gap+Road,+Suches,+GA/Ducktown,+TN/Tellico+Plains,+TN/Fontana+Village,+NC/@35.1020788,-84.2480356,108876m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m49!4m48!1m5!1m1!1s0x885eb8ee9bc41c5f:0x448b383171bc3f8a!2m2!1d-83.819065!2d35.4356433!1m10!1m1!1s0x885ecb3535610b35:0x7a7b6e6e433cbf5f!2m2!1d-83.5923577!2d35.3318883!3m4!1m2!1d-83.8843935!2d35.0519376!3s0x885f208679915799:0xd3d46b72388f7caf!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x885f6c99536d93e3:0xb7c67833fc0c9e3b!2m2!1d-84.0219948!2d34.6891957!1m5!1m1!1s0x885fac574eb1e8af:0x8f22f0dbdc27df07!2m2!1d-84.3827012!2d35.0359126!1m10!1m1!1s0x885ef5cef1140925:0x3ce678d9c35d5f62!2m2!1d-84.294087!2d35.362855!3m4!1m2!1d-84.0289253!2d35.3362176!3s0x885eec1c839a2fd7:0xa4086c48916f9121!1m5!1m1!1s0x885eb8ee9bc41c5f:0x448b383171bc3f8a!2m2!1d-83.819065!2d35.4356433!3e0

Can you enlighten me on what tthe name of this place is? I tried googling but received no results. I swear @whaler and I stopped at this place. I think they were doing white water rafting drills. Maybe it was a different place though.

This tool makes chain cleaning a bit easier... https://www.walmart.com/ip/SIMPLE-SOLUTIONS-The-Grunge-Brush-w-cleaner-for-ATV-UTV/967033024?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=649&adid=22222222227075588787&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=188344634818&wl4=pla-293116718083&wl5=9015491&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112354411&wl11=online&wl12=967033024&wl13=&veh=sem

I believe we've lost all of the die cut vinyl decal folks here - but google shows me these, just the first few listings..... https://www.allstickerprinting.com/custom/stickers_printing/us/oh/columbus http://www.signcityco.com/product_pages/stickers_labels_decals.html http://atchleysigns.com/signs/

Schools get really wacky with this kind of stuff. They're obligated to react, and ensure that they're taking steps to protect students, but they tend to swing wildly when it comes to reacting, overreacting, or ignoring.

So yea, just checked the total miles we have gone so far. 2300, just over half way.

You mean like the god damn vstrom you sold?

So today was a triple digit run to El Paso, then a quick stop at a vap store cuz I dropped it at a buck ten. Hit the National Park north of there and made our way to Silver City New Mexico. We are on the south end of the mountains and Gilia National Park. Gonna be a great riding day tomorrow. And booked a really cool 1930's hotel downtown.

correction, I just looked, I have 3ish Its a sickness.

I struggle with same question, bike is so silent can't leave wind noise alone in a video, add some music some one always love it others hate it. In the end no one cares I guess for all the effort that goes into putting out a video so it doesn't matter.
