I normally carry motorcycle jumper cables but have only ever used them to jump someone else’s bike.  I won’t wait so long next time.  Luckily mine took a dump in my garage, not on the road. 👍

Last time my battery took a shit I could jump it and get it running but as soon as I removed the jumper it died. Some newer bikes can't run on stator alone

You probably seen the radar in this area right, kinda mushy wet hit and miss rain every day. But up in the mountains it looks promising 

Yup that way every day this time of year in that area. 

Day away bump...bike is loaded and ready

Suzuki as well.

They are also circling the drain in my opinion. 

I agree let them die. I think that company has been taking advantage of their consumers for decades. Selling a not premium product for a premium price. Building huge cathedral type buildings on the coat tails of the douped fan base. Time to let them wallow in their own demise because they refuse to give in to what the masses wanted at a price point the average joe could afford.

Me and the wife took both bikes down to WV and Senecca Rocks and Spruce Knob last weekend. Her first long trip on the Injun. 720 miles in 2 days and had a great time. Got some video footage too but haven't gotten around to editing yet.

Couldn't upload last week because I kept getting errors.

Gone. Amazing how quick things disappear when you put free stuff on FB Marketplace 

These came off my wife's Indian Scout with only 3000 miles on them. Nothing wrong with them we just went with a upgraded tire for more touring miles. Free for the taking ill help mount them too for a 12 small 12oz donations or a bottle of spiced rum.

They are the Kenda K673 sizes are 

Front Tire 130/90-16 72H

Rear Tire 150/80-16 71H

Yeah I didn't forget, I had mine done earlier this year before you told me. Was just looking at the prices some people can do it for on here, I'll know for next time for sure. They were on the bike @Tonik

Gotcha!

Damn sounds like mid-ohio in Mt Vernon really reamed me out, was $202 to mount and balance my tires, didn't buy them there, but similar pricing at all the shops around me I called. 

Why didn't you ask me? I thought I told you I can do tires? Maybe I didn't? I've mounted tires for 6 different vome in theist month alone.

I replaced tires yesterday. Threw on some Roadsmart 2s. Went to leave the drive for shakedown run and rear end slid out from under me. Broke clutch lever and foot peg, and busted up my left side fairings.  So far not liking Roadsmart 2. 

Ironic that you said that. Took mine out for a shake down and everything felt fine. Came back started to clean up and couldn't find my 10mm snap on allen socket.  At that moment I realized I'd fucked up. I took the socket off the ratchet and spun the bolt on the rear caliper by hand. Then got distracted, phone call i think. And didn't go back to tighten it. Socket still in the bolt. Once I realized this I checked the bolt only in half way at this point and socket is gone. Got my other socket and tightened it, thank God it didn't back all the way out on my shake down ride. Rear brakes would have failed and probably locked up and broke stuff. Once that was squared away I walked the driveway in hopes to find my $30 socket. And there it was by the mail box.

That whole thing could have been worse if I hadn't left the socket in the bolt and it not been missing when I cleaned up. Then on my gap trip next weekend the bolt backed out and put me in the hospital.

Just a side note for further reference. Don't know if you ever stayed at Albert's adventure inn when your in the little Switerland area. That's my go to and the couple that own it (Debbie and Van) are awesome. A little out dated but clean, reasonable price, and great location.

Update...we are no longer camping at the gap. We are now staying at the 2 Wheel Inn in Robbinsville those 2 nights.

And there are now 4 of us going.

That section of 209 out of Hot Springs to Trust and the junction with 63 is a ton of fun and I prefer riding that road south. Have fun wish I could go. If your out by little Switzerland I'd consider two roads if they're in your direction double island road hwy 1308 between 197 and 19 or the section of 80 between 226a and 19. Both really fun rides.

Yup been on 209&208 many time they are fun. Some times gravel in the corners but some times that happens. 

80 is what they call the Devils Whip we'll be hitting it but not sure if it will be in the evening or next morning so didn't put it on the maps yet. I'll have to check out that 1308

Nice detective work 2talltim. That's correct. We have 1 acre on the river, with 4 campers and a pavilion. Plenty of room for tent camping also. There is a porta john as well. We often have groups down, mostly hanging out with family and friends, and doing river trips. 

Our camp address is xxxxx county road 23 in Loudonville. 

Thanks for the nice responses, and keep me posted on any rides or if a group wants to set up a weekend in Loudonville.

 

 

While it wasn't hard to figure out. I hid your actual street address in your post. I this is a public forum on the interwebz. You never know who might try to use it or go there for illicit reasons. If you end up hosting an event feel free to post it at that time.

Temps close to 100 next week down there, enjoy.

That's why you stay in elevation. Not my first rodeo. 

Edit: never mind just realized you were talking to Pauly...LOL

Routes added to first post.

Welcome! Your property on Wally Rd next to the xxxxxx Campground? Sorry I looked it up, was curious because that's close to me.   

First post updated with hotel info.

@2talltim have you done much 2 up on the Connie? If so, how was it? How long can you ride comfortably solo vs 2 up?

Yes we have. We've done a few 200 plus days on it. A seat upgrade would be a must for anything longer.

We were dragging pegs on the dragon last spring and she fell asleep on 28..lol
