  1. The nav program I use is called Sygic. It's like 25 bucks, available for Android and iPhones. It's cool, I have all of the maps for the US and Canada on my phone so it works just fine even without a cell connection. You can just download the states you want. All of them use about 5 Gigs of space on the phone You can use it by itself to make custom routes, you just plot in a start and end and then you can drag and drop the route to other roads just like google maps. But that can really suck on a small screen. Better than that is some free software I found for Windows called ITN Converter. Plan the whole route out on Google Maps, then copy the URL to it and it converts it to a file that Sygic uses..or most other Nav programs. You just have to put lots of way points in when you make it in google so it forces Sygic to follow your plan. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get enough way points in the right place to force it. Then copy the file to the phone. http://www.benichou-software.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=3&lang=en
  2. Just north of 40 near Asheville. http://www.motorcycleroads.com/75/423/North-Carolina/North-Carolinas-Route-80.html
  3. Sounds more like furry burgers than sammich's to me.
  4. If you get right on the bumper of someone with an ezpass you can get through before the gate goes back down.
  5. Going to have to spread them out over multiple days. I am old. 119 around Pikeville is actually pretty killer for a bit. Some of it is 4 lane, but it is in a giant valley, very scenic at times.
  6. This isn't a bad way to take the slab out of the way home: https://goo.gl/maps/CSukJoTubdz
  7. Since we are taking the route 3 back road way from Charleston we will not hit any of the tolls in WV, or anywhere else on the way. I have one, it is the only way to fly. Other than the one time the gate came back down on me and hit the windshield then my face. Then the toll bitch waddled out of her booth and yelled at me, that didn't end well for her. She got written up and suspended for a few days. I got a new windshield, helmet and pocketed the labor for the windshield install. Hit me really hard, the helmet kept me out of the hospital.
  8. Ok, then Tim and I leave cleveland at 9:30, see you at Sheetz in New Philly at 10:30 unless you get up at the crack ass of dawn and do your own thing. Route looks like this: https://goo.gl/maps/gK9mW7dcRQs
  9. Well if you are picking it up in Akron in the morning, swing by on the way home makes sense to me. It is sort of on the way. Just text me an ETA in the morning. I will PM you the address and phone number.
  10. Even though I hate you I intend to take pity and stop often. Even if it is just for 5 minutes at the rest area's. cc @Isaac's Papa We have two options on the way down. Slab to Beckly all the way. Tim and I leave 82/77 at 10 am. Pick up IP in New Philly at 11 am. Slab to Charleston, last hour on route 3 which is a very nice ride, but not epic twisties. If we do that we leave 82/77 at 9:30 am and pick up IP at 10:30 am. You two decide, I am cool either way.
  11. Ohhhh, well that is pretty unavoidable unless we leave at like 6 AM.
  12. Whats the problem with the slab Thursday, it's less than 40 miles. It's already 7 hours in the saddle and we need time at the museum. I can certainly take the slab out if the collective wants but it seems like a decent way to get everything in. But I have a comfy couch and cruise control, and a cup holder so I get it if we need to change it.
  13. Congrats, and well deserved. Most of us will be at the Gap or OTW to the Gap that day....so please don't think our absence means we hate you.

    So @tyler524 had to cancel, he was sharing a lodge room with someone. So his spot might be available. Go back a page and you will see him mention it.

    We have several Farmers Markets in Cleveland built by tax dollars.
  16. Wednesday will be easy, our meet spot in Beckly is on 16. Just follow the signs for 16 until it ends, turn left and the hotel is right there. I will pull over both days as we get to the really epic parts and wave you speedy asshats past me also.
  17. My bike loves the twisties as much as yours does. I promise Thursdays route will be epic, yea there is some slab. But your bike does not want to miss 209 and 212. Now, your bike wants to go faster than mine can, I get that....so take off and rock and roll. NP at all.
  18. So theoretically he can get the pin. But he still needs the card....he needs the physical chip which is still in your wallet.
  19. Depends on the card company. None of mine require the pin. It isnt about debit or charges. It is added safety, its two factor authentication. Something you have (the card) and something you know (the pin).
  20. You still got a few days to trade the Daytona in for an FJR.
  21. You need a better mirror.
  22. If we are doing that gauge this weekend let me know. My schedule is pretty open except Sunday mid-day.
