    Gotcha. Scenery is low on my rating scale, but I have to admit there is something about BRP that totally puts me in a relaxed mood. I did slow down up there and actually take in the sights. The rest of your ratings are of high importance to me.  I can understand why the dragon is low on your list due to traffic, but I have ran it multiple times on weekdays during non-peak hours (early morning/later evening) and have had some great runs through it, so it makes my top 10. 

    BRP would make a top 10 for me. You can stick to 10-15 over the limit and not draw too much attention and have a great time on some pretty decent tarmac with a view. Traffic varies up there just like anywhere else avoid on a weekend. Ive chewed up more tires on BRP than any other single road i'm willing to bet.

    So Tim what is the order you’d list the roads you’ve traveled? I know you’ve rode more than I have. 

    Depends on what kind of list we are talking about. You have scenery, road quality and or twisty quality and amount of traffic. If I had to list a #1 in all categories it would be the Cherohala. A complete list would take me some time to complete. Just know the dragon, 555 and tunnel of trees would not be in my top ten. Skyline drive isn't even on my list.

    Yeah I don't even get off for another 15 minutes. 

    Did 134 miles in a couple hours. Couple detours for washed out bidges but was great getting her out. Obligatory Mohawk Dam pic.

    I'm looking to raise some hell in amish country here after work if anyone wants to meet in the canton/massillon area and ride down towards sugar creek. 

    I'm looking to do the same up around Millersburg after work, but I'll probably be back home before your even getting off work. I'm rolling here in about 25 min. Just going to cruise and not ride agressive because I don't have all my gear with me. 

  5. My wife's Vstardid some thing similar after I did an oil change and switched it to synthetic for the first time. Did not shift right, did not want to go into neutral. Only thing I changed was the oil type. About 100 miles later i put dino oil back in it and all was well once it got time to work itself back in the clutch. That bike's clutch just didn't like the synthetic.

    Completed a SaddleSore 1000 on my Connie last weekend. Went from Knoxville to Memphis up to St Louis back home to Fort Wayne. Did it in 16.5 hours. Didn't take any pictures, only got rained on once between Terre Haute and Indy.

     

     

    How are those non "A spec" tires holding up?

    Gotta love a woman that loves leather.

    The tan leather was absolute selling point on this bike for her. Almost as equal as the fact that it fits her perfectly. If it didn't have the tan leather she didn't want it. 

    :spank:

    Can't wait to hear how that leather on the grips works in the rain.

    Being leather I figure it's going to be one of those replace every year or two things. And she had black leather wraps on the vstar and loved them, even in the wet. 

  9. Annnnd. We have tassels... :nono: Thought we were going to clip them off when we put the leather wraps on the grip. But...No, she likes them.

    Not my bike but I had to put them on. Yes dear. Heated grips still get pretty warm through them.
