The 650 Versys model is a great mid-size for doing many things. I rode my 650LT on a long 2 1/2 week trip from OH to the CA border--out to TX, across AZ/NM NV, headed north to southern UT/CO and home. Comfortable riding position and great handling with maybe average wind management. DId everything from hooning the twisties in the passes to superslabbing in 108* temps through western TX to some moderate off-roading on Kolob Terrace Rd (north of Virgin UT) to the Shafer Switchbacks and part of the White Rim trail heading back to Moab.

Derp....fat fingered. Guilty as charged.

THANK GOD!!! I've been hanging off the edge of my seat for the last 25 years. 🤣

Oh my! Poor Walt must be spinning in his grave....certainly NOT the Snow White I knew as a child. OTOH, anyone know where I can find the Youtube video of this? 😳

Me too. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you didn't save me any....

@Tonik @Pauly Sorry, but I have yet to see any chickens in this thread. Fake news!

Not sure what your plans include, but if you haven't seen the KY Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Frankfort, it's worth a visit. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kentucky+Vietnam+Veterans+Memorial/@38.1771222,-84.8666529,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x8842749bc8cd3719:0xcebdb77d4237bbbe!8m2!3d38.177118!4d-84.864078!16s%2Fm%2F04n5ktf?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkzMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Smoking Pig Tavern in Falmouth has pretty damn good ribs! https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Smoking+Pig+Tavern/@38.6769682,-84.3336389,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x884183366798584b:0xba2cd5b0db6e9175!8m2!3d38.676964!4d-84.331064!16s%2Fg%2F11g888dybq?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkzMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Great roads in the area: 227 from Stamping Ground to Owenton, 607 from 127 to Corinth (check GM for one REALLY bad corner!), 165 from 68 to Powersville.

Kentucky comes to mind...

Touché!

So...if you eat a cat, do you end up with a scratchy throat?

Pretty damn good reason!

So...inquiring minds want to know. Do you stay at Casinos because you like to gamble? Or are the rooms a better value--i.e., cheap--because they're subsidized by the gamblers? I'm gonna go ahead and paint myself as a wanker because I admit I've never been inside one.

Time has not been kind to Elvis....or his younger brothers. The Cincinnati Local Riders group always did their annual NC/Waynesville trip the week after the Labor Day holiday. Kids back in school and parents back in the office. Traffic was always very light. 16, 208 and 209 are definitely worth a run! Looks like a great trip.

Have a great trip and stay hydrated. Gonna be hot as f--k this coming week. Do GWs come equipped with AC now?

Best be getting that Dome of Hate fired up!
