  1. I have a technical/electronic question that I think is pretty easy, but l’m just guessing. I know somebody here knows this stuff better than I do, so I was hoping to get a little guidance.

    I bought a set of turn signals to replace my rear indicators because they interfere with my new saddle bag mounts. The turn signals I bought are 3-wire and can be used in the front with the 3rd wire to be used for daytime running lamps. They perform both functions, constant DRL lights which switch to amber when the turn signal is activated. They had 3 options for the constant running lights, white, red and blue. Since I’m using them in the back, I bought the red running lights/ amber signal and hoped to be able to use them as daytime red lights in the back as well as turn signals.

    My existing OEM rear signals only have two wires. My question is, if I take the daytime running light wire on the new indicators to the hot constant running light for the brake light, these should be constant red when not signaling, right? I don’t want to run it to the brighter brake light wire, do I? Any advice? Or am I on the right track?

  2. Father-in-law bought this bike to ride with me, just never happened much. Bike has less than 1000 miles. Not even fully broken in.
     

    One owner purchased from the dealership. Comes with OEM top case. 

    Any questions, PM me and I’ll give you my cell. Bike has always been garaged and is located in Thornville.

    Looking for $8250.

  3. Just stumbled onto this. For what it's worth, I bought that same trailer used but in new condition for $400 probably 5 years ago. Sold it last year for $450. Not sure if I got a deal and should've sold it for more, or not. But you might be a little high on the price. FWIW.

    Did you get to Cafe Rel or do I need to ban you?

    I had every intention of making it there, but their hours prevented it. I got into Robbinsville on Sunday evening and left to ride home Wednesday. Caffe Rel is closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. So literally the days I could have gone are the days they were closed.

    I won’t leave the area in September without stopping. Guaranteed!

  5. Was thinking about another trip to the Deal's Gap area, though maybe staying near Cherokee so we can hit the loops east of Robbinsville in the Ashville area. Would like to get a small group of guys. Post up if you're interested and we can try to lock down some dates. I'm thinking 2 day ride down. 2 days of riding there and a slab day back home.....though I could potentially be flexible. 

    Any interest?

    I took this off of a Bandit that was totalled.  You can have it if you pick it up in Gahanna.  I'll mount and balance it if you bring a 6-pack of craft IPA and help me change the tire and drink a beer or two.

    I'll take it, if you'll hold it for me. I'll bring the 6 pack the next time I need a tire installed. And it would be nice to meet you. I just had Angel GTs installed for the trip, so it'll probably be a month or so before I need it. But count me in.

    Ok.  We don't have reservations yet.  I wasn't sure where to stay and when.  We are rolling out of Nags Head, NC early on Friday morning.  We're planning on riding US64 at Hendersonville to Franklin, NC.  We are going to have dinner at Cafe Rel.  Then, we haven't decided where to stay that night. We thought about Fontana Dam or Townsend, but that is a lot of riding for my daughter.  On Saturday: Cherohala, US441 through Smoky Mountain National Park (hopefully with Kingman Dome), and US129.  We haven't decided where to stay on Saturday night either. 

    Wish I’d have seen this earlier. We have a good bit of room in the Airbnb, if you still don’t have a place. Shoot me a message or let me know if you’re interested. I think we’ve got whole rooms empty. 
     

    There’s a pool table, hot tub, and a garage for the bikes. I think it’s two couples and me, at the moment. A lot of guys bailed.

    Seriously, let me know….

    Sounds good to me Jaime.  I'll have my 11 yo daughter with me.  Are you guys staying at Fontana Dam? 

    No. We're staying at a place called Treetops. It's at the base of the Cherohala on the Robbinsville side, before you get up the mountain.

    Thanks for posting! I know most of these roads....or at least the general area. Might have to plug them into the GPS and see. So different looking at them on an old school map versus interactive GPS where I can zoom in and find landmarks.

    I'll be in the area from 7/9 to 7/11.  I'm taking my daughter around the area for a couple of days on the Wing.

    We'll have to try to meet up for a bit, Mike. Maybe grab some dinner at the lodge or something. Sounds like a few of us will be there.

    Pretty sure I'm meeting up with @Blitzthat week too. You should go we'll have a nice little group to hang out. I should know in the next few days for sure. 

    Yeah, that would be great! Would be a pretty cool impromptu group to ride with.

    So many options in KY. I will get something built tonight or tomorrow. Do you want to come out in Knoxville or closer to Townsend? 

    Would probably prefer to come in near Townsend instead of Knoxville. I'll ride the Foothills Pkwy to the Dragon instead of going through the traffic.

    I'll be in the area, arriving the 11th, riding with my buddy Dave the 12th-16th, and staying in Sylva at the Holiday Inn on 74.  We'll be trailering down so we'll have a tow vehicle and tools, etc.

    We don't really have any plans for any specific rides, but would like to meet up with you guys for a part of a day or a dinner.  I also understand if your group is already big enough...

    Thanks to Tonik, I just added dinner at the brown trout place to our agenda.  And I have to ask, Is Caffe Rel really that good?

    I've been down there like 6 times and every time I have Caffe Rel on the list and don't make it there, for whatever reason.

    Happy to have you guys along on any ride while we're there. I'll PM you my cell number. We'll have to link up.

    Ok, gonna leave the 10th up to you. It is 7 hours by slab to there from CBus.

    11th Tonik's famous route. If you go clockwise you will be too early to eat at Cafe Rel. If you go counter clockwise you have to go across the Skyway in the morning and it may be damp/wet/foggy.  https://goo.gl/maps/BPzHpxaD6anWqKvV6

    12th Do this one clockwise so you get past Gatlinburg before the tourist clog the roads. In Maggie Valley is the Wheels Thru Time Museum and Carvers Maggie Valley Rest. for Brown Trout.  This is also a second shot at an early dinner at Cafe Rel.   https://goo.gl/maps/92QKZpFcTC8aR12aA

    13th I would round trip the Devils Triangle area, gonna be hard to hit that on the way to Marion since it is totally in the wrong direction. Unless from Rocky top you slab it. And you will miss the really fun way to get there that I am going to suggest for the 14th. This is one way to Rocky Top and Coal SmokeHouse and the two sides of the triangle you want. Return you can slab through Knoxville (not far or bad) or you can come back the same way but cut off the two sides of the triangle and use 330 to short cut it.  https://goo.gl/maps/pUceeUXoL5iMaMpb6

    14th To Marion. Beginning is lame but not bad. Then you get Crabtree, 209, 212 and all that. Crabtee is paved, but I have not been on it in a few years. It could be rough. https://goo.gl/maps/VRrGprbfdvB7hMQj7

    15 Straight up 16 until you run out of time to get home then you grab the slab. Marion to Beckly is the best part but it is all really good.  https://goo.gl/maps/GCaUDW4S6Db7cHpJ6

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This is so good, my friend.  I appreciate it more than you know. And the guys that I'm sharing it with will appreciate it too!

    If I had one request for extra credit.....  I'm going solo from Ohio down. The other guys are slabbing it. So I could potentially stay in a hotel in KY on the 10th. Do you have any suggestions for 2 days getting there that aren't 16? Something through Kentucky?

    No need to to work on it tonight. Just something I might consider. Thanks again Jim! This is really great!

    @BlitzNot sure. I’m weather watching. Planning to leave on a Monday and return on a Thursday. Based on the forecast I’m not going next week. So I may make my way down the same time you’re headed down. We need to get together and ride again. Hope all is well. 

    Yeah man, for sure. I think I PMd you my cell phone number. If you're down there while I'm down there (July 10-15), shoot me a message!
