Last week I rode with five friends that have been to Blue Ridge Parkway many times and had created a route with what they deemed the top roads they had ridden. Due to Covid 19 the roads were empty along with the hotels. There were approximately 10 people at each hotel. We rode 60+ miles on the BRP and only passed four vehicles. The trip was outstanding, we had a light drizzle Thursday morning, by noon the roads were dry. Temperatures were in the 70's every afternoon. The road I really enjoyed was the Back Of The Dragon, great twisties, very little traffic and the road was in great shape. Four of us bought the new Sena 50's hoping to improve our communication systems. I have owned Sena 10 and 20' models, they were OK, but there were many pairing issues, reconnecting problems when people were out of range and rejoined, sound quality with static and wind noise. If you had more than two people connected the communication sound quality dropped off with each unit connected. The music sound quality was pretty good when not using the Sena's for communication, when listening to music when someone would talk the sound was either to loud to hear voices or the volume was almost off. It was either communicate of listen to music. Sena did a great job on the 50 series, the Mesh 2.0 is a game changer! To connect you simple push the mesh button, it opens the mesh system and everyone is connected. Once we had the setting levels correct, we could listen to music at the volume we wanted and if someone spoke the music continued to play at the same level and voice was clearly in the background. There was no static or wind noise. When I finally left the group I could barely tell the difference in the music clarity once the communication connection was off. The range in Mesh mode was around one mile with great clarity. We didn't check, but the Mesh technology is supposed to work like a daisy chain and if each unit is a mile apart there can be five miles with units in between. Listening to music at the same volume the entire ride while communicating was a huge advantage of the Sena 50.

I will see him tomorrow so I'll talk to him about it and let you know.

Hehehe I been hearing this from my wife everyday. To be honest to myself I think I chose here due to proximity to good riding lol Naaaah, this is like going back to school again. So back to resident stipend again. Doing a fellowship after fellowship after working independently for all these years is hard. They are looking at me as if I am crazy. Now I think about it I feel like I am crazy to have jumped into this 😖

I figured I throw out the invitation. Quite a few of the guys that will be there are very fast riders and I know Nivin would really enjoy riding with them. I'm sure that life is hectic since the move.

Shit.. I was 30 minutes from Nivin and he blew me off for a parade ride.

Hey @NinjaDoc, I'm going to be in NC the evening of Wednesday the 27th to the morning of Sunday the 31st. I am meeting a group of FZ 09 owners for our annual East coast rally. Anyone and bike is welcome. We're staying at Albert's adventure inn. I put the link below. I know it's quite a ways from where you're at, but thought I'd let you know I'd be in your state if you want to come out and ride the mountains with us. I'd love to have you join. http://www.alberts-burnsville.com/

My friend works for Cleveland Clinic in their accounting department and he says they are almost always hiring. The Rona may have put a damper on things but I would check to see if they are hiring.

Loaded mine up for GA this weekend.

Side by side before and after....

YYYYMMDD Then you can sort by date in a text field.

Told you it was too far from the good roads. You are there for opportunity that will benefit your family not good riding.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Work in progress.
