    Your left foot is pointed outward. Just saying.🐄
  3. I am in the early stages of planning another KAT loop in the fall. The record rain fall last year has changed much of the route. Some big washouts have uncovered some rocks.

    Should read, Two Up ASS Packing on the Grom. I had know idea this is what you meant when you said that you wanted to expand your riding experience and try new things.
  5. You can rent the nikens down at the gap. There were two at Iron Horse Lodge for rent in May.

    What's the best way to wash and care for riding gear?
  7. Switches that are exposed to the rinse spray water, rain or the occasional tip over during water crossings. Also I have a lot of free time. MMM.Witt Rd. by
  8. Wash/Polish/lube every 200 mile day ride or on return from multiple day trip. Bike Wash by
  9. I like your style.🥓🥩🍕🍔
  10. Just returned from the Gap. I got a fast Thursday 110 mile solo balls out ride on a dragon loop route after arriving at Iron Horse around noon. Friday spent the 203 mile day with the wife on back exploring back road conditions, including light gravel. I spent all 220 mile day Saturday alone blasting forest service roads at elevation and down at creek level with a few asphalt ribbons connecting the dirty stuff. All is well in the area. 533 Miles Total. I give it a 4 star weekend only because I could not find another rider to do dirt with me. then again, I do ride faster when alone. 😎 Tires: Mitas E07 Dakars 2019 Dragon Front 1 (1) by 2019 Dragon Front 1 (2) by Stromtroopers 2019 1 by Stromtroopers 2019 2 by B
  11. I randomly had a great ride today. After arriving at Iron Horse around noon and unloadeding the Strom. My wife unpacked and set up the room while I jumped on the bike and did a quick run down 28 to the 129 store, jumped on the dragon and did a down and back. Then ran back on 129 to 143 to Iron horse. A very exciting 80 miles. Little traffic and I scrubbed in a new rear Mitas 50/50. Tried to get it done before the dragon but had two big rear power slides on exit that made me reminisce the old superbikes day's. 75degs, what a way jam.

  15. Big Bike Friendly Ride this Sunday off SR550 near Amesville, OH. 😀 https://advrider.com/f/threads/adventure-in-ohio.28732/page-4175#post-37525687
  16. I am planning on riding the Z1k one last time before I place it on the market for sale. Unless you are going to ride your ___________bike. I would like to split off 377 at 555S to 676 to Marietta and join back on 26. 550 is fun at the start of the turn but gets.............
  17. Road 555 from 37/555 to the bottom rt7. The best section is Chester hill to the 676 Watertown turn. The rest has the repair patch work and asphalt wash outs. Not much fun on sport bike but a big adv with more suspension can be fun. It will keep your attention with all the hazards. GFT (Good Fucking Training)
  18. Thanks for the info. I have passed (Birch Knob Dr,) Many times on the (KAT) route that passes that tower turn off. I will check it out next time, this spring. When I am ADV'ing without the wife I take 630(South Mountain road off 23br just north of Pound to White Oak Creek road just after you cross Bearpen Creek this will turn into Osbornes gap and make a left on Brush Gap, then left on S of the mountain rd. and go right by your turn off for the tower. then this turns into Blowing Rock road, then Bartlick rd to SR80 and into Elkhorn.
  19. I am scheduled on Monday 04/29/19 to ride 555 from North to South. Starting at 555/37 A&B Carry out Gas Station down to 555/SR7 Little Hocking and then ride back home thru Amesville, Glouster and New Straitsville. I will most likely have video.
  20. I concur with your assessment. There are far nicer asphalt golf cart path mining roads in the hills of KY. with better views.
  21. I like the dirt section much more that the asphalt strip.
  22. Shepard trail starts after leaving Harlan at 2.24 stops at shell gap (turns to dirt) south on 2010--522 to Cumberland then down 160s to Black Mountain, Highest point in KY. 23 to pound then 197 to the Breaks state park. then to Pikeville, KY. - 119-49 to Historical Matwan (Hatfield/McCoy) all great roads. This is the video I wanted to post. https://youtu.be/j66aXtHaSVM
