Prepping Bike, Gear for 5 day's of riding the Monongahela National Forest and foothills of the Blue Ridge area.

First of the week looking like great weather for riding!!

Sorry, I did not read the instructions. HMFIC, please remove my post and I will go back in my room.

My Helo/My Bike

NEXT:    Bike with Dog

This is the best I can do. Honda NSR 250 will be fine for the track.

Finished a great 3 day R&R at Seven Springs resort, PA. Road 78 both ways to the river, Crossed at Moundsville. Great roads around the Laurel highland area and the food/activities at the outdoor resort. 680 miles total with the wife in tow on the Spyder.

Wife and I made it 250 miles to Seven Springs, PA. For two days of R&R. Great day for riding. Made it to my coffee stop at the intersection of pa40 and Farmington rd. (Fuel coffee works) more. Later

My wife is taking a geocaching trip to Tennessee over the Labor Day weekend. She wants to use the Tail of the Dragon as a shortcut in a CRV to shave 3 hours off her travel time. Question is, how safe would that be as far as not having sport drivers and riders flying by her and trucks blocking the road? heh 

There are plenty of pull off on the Dragon for drivers to pull off momentarily to allow bikes/cars to pass. And please ask her to signal and use the pull offs and she will be thanked by all riders.

Trucks for the most part stay away but you never know when some dumb shit that fails to read the truck warning signs and proceeds thru.

Tell her to enjoy and talk smack about how she tamed the 129 Dragon!!😃

Friday looks good, maybe seek in a morning ride before all the family trucksters hit the road.

Welcome to the asylum. Great choice of bike. Just in time for the fall riding season. Hope to meet you on a ride.

B.

Thouse are all great bikes and I have ridden all of them. I must proceed with caution.

The Mrs is 63yo and has a 29inch inseam.  She road two wheels 89-2010. three wheel spyders 2010- now.

I have a friend tellico plains that has two Monkey's to play with on the dirt roads when he is not jamming his Husky 701.

He said the erogo's on the monkey is better suited for off road than the Grom.

We are going to the Honda dealer and check out both and see what feels good to her.

I can make anything work, I just need to get her head into my plan of attack,

She's retired Air Force and that's a constant mind fuck for me, Army man.

I will keep up-date's as we move on slowly.

These are nice for trails and adv.

Drove up to Iron Baloney motorsports on Sunday and they had NO Grom's, NO Monkey's what a shit show. On the plus side we had lunch a city BBQ.

Looking for Grom Deal.

The only way I will ever get my wife back on two wheels and off the F-ing Spyder is to Build her a bad ass Grom Adventure bike to open up new venues of back road bliss and all of the nature shit talk.

So looking for a well sorted,(Tuned)  Grom that I can bolt on ADV stuff and add years of happiness to our marriage. I promise you wont see ME out having fun on the Grom only limited R&D/Testing stuff.

Or I can wait for a Honda CT125 hunter cub.

Sounds like a clutch push rod seal seeping.😁 Invites us all to a garage day at your place serving endless food and drinks and I am sure someone will fix your bike.

P.S. Warn your community.

Great ride today. five hours of moving time at 273 miles. Cold am but turned out great, Thank you Durk.

Home safe, Report/Video/Pic's inbound. Happy Hour: Wine-crackers-cheese and whatnot.
