  1. Hey Todd I think having it in Columbus to get worked on would be a lot easier. Thats between u and shitty but that's my opinion. Hopefully we can get this thing disassembled this weekend.

    it dont need much a couple hours thats it and stock stuff he wants back on is the exhaust and some small stuff then pull the pc3 off ....simple and quick

  2. dont have to study hard for the pretrip most dont know this but its not on memory only you can have your pti book in hand and go donw the list you wont miss a thing that way ive trained 3 drivers at work so far and took them for thier tests its cake as long as you can drive nad easest if you use a day cab and flatbed

  3. shitty i told brian saturday id get it and help as well ..... ive got truck and trailer and will be going right past his sisters tomarrow on the way to bwr OR nite i can pick it up and take it back to my garage and get started if he's ready and thats what he wants all who want to help can stop out and help if they dont mind headed toward coshocton

  4. Actually I'm heading to the pony on Saturday with the wife. I'm hoping to go early too. I'll be cagin it though.

    cant blame her I wouldnt get on a bike with you either........ let her know Ill be meeting ya up there ... she'll bring her helmet then and ride over with me you can follow on 4 :D

  5. okay eric Ive never been there either but have a friend that has many many time he found out I was going and sent me this email of routes to hit , what do you think of these ... copy and paste

    [Off 129 north of the gap there is a road called Happy Valley road. Take that east up to the Foothills parkway. Take the parkway east to the end. Take 73/321 to 441 (Smoky Mountain Pkwy) Take that south towards Cherokee, NC. Half way through the pkwy there is a road that goes to the right called Clingmans Dome Road. This will take you up to one of the highest points. When you get to the end of the road there is a path about .5 miles long that you have to walk up. If it is a clear day you can see for miles from the dome. If it is cloudy, don't waste your time. After you pass the visitors center on the way out of the park the Blue Ridge Pkwy goes to the east. That is a fun road with nice sweepers. You can take that all the way to 74. Take 74 south or west all the way to 28 north. Take 28 north back to Deals Gap.

    Another good ride will be 28 from Deals gap south into Franklin. Go west on 64 to Patton Road. Go north to Wayah Road (1442). This road will come out onto 19/74 about 10 miles east of Robbinsville. I have seen several bikes go down on this road so you must be careful. It is a fun road but some of the corners will have gravel washed up from the trucks taking the corners to sharp and kicking it onto the road. Right there where it comes out at 19 is one of the white water rafting put ins for the Nantahala River. You go west just a couple miles and take 129 back to the gap by way of the dam.

    Another good one would be from the gap go south on 129 to 143. Take that to the right, this is another road that many bikes have gone down on. It turns into 165 when you go into Tenn. but it is still the Cherohala Skyway. Take this all the way to Tellico Plains. Go right up to 411 and take 411 to the right to 72. Take 72 to 129 back up the gap.

    One more, 129 south to 74. Left to Wayah Road. Wayah Road to 64 in Franklin. 64 will join up with 28. Take that into Highlands. Stay on 28 south into Pine Mountain, GA. Take Warwoman Road to the right to 441/23. Go north to 246 which will turn into 106. Take that into Highlands and then get on 64 east through Cashiers to 281. Take 281 north to 107. Right on 107 to 441. Take 441/74 west, stay on 74 to 28 north back to the gap.

    There are so many more roads that could be hit by going just a little more east but these are all long rides and will wear you out.]
