B-Mac

I will be riding with a group of Big Adventure Bike's doing the 3 day Smokey Mountain 500 on June 8th. Leaving out of Stecoah, NC. (Iron Horse) coming your way on 28 but turning off early 2511 Fontana Rd, Robbinsville, NC 28771 on the Upper Tuskeegee Road heading to Tellico Plains area the first night. This will be a mix of dirty roads with some curvy asphalt connectors. We will be on 50/50 Mitas E-07's tires. You can drop out at many locations and head back to Fontana or ride on with us. We will return to Iron Horse on the 10th. Brian Here is a reference Video: Not Me. https://youtu.be/WrPkxtkP77k https://youtu.be/qnS_MJFv9k0

Suzuki DL650 V-Strom. Great all around bike with a upright seating position to see over trafic while commuting. Wide handle bars for leverage for swerveing thru trafice. Great used prices. 6'1'' leg room. Go for the sport bike next time. You may not want to.

Nice bike Doc. The FJR should work out well for your needs. B.

I don't normally ride it on the weekends with the high traffic. I would if I was riding mid pack with the O.R. Quad Gang for protection from head on collisions. If you are available on Friday the 21st. see below: Brian.

Yes he can, I am impressed. I hope he will join me in Romney for The camp and ride. The Tenere and V-sStrom Groups will be there for adventure fun.

Fresh Video,

I was trying to edit it and I deleted it. I got it back on UT, will put music on in the AM. "Tonik" Jim, Will you please fix my mess on here and delete this post and the original Video post. I will start fresh in the AM. Straight Hetero music for sure. Thank you. B.

Video clips taken from ride. Not the best quality because I am an old fart and can't be taught a new trick. Everything is a rough draft

I had a great time riding today. It was nice seeing old and new faces.Thank you, Jim and Jacob I should have some video in the next day or two. 287.3 miles, 58.3 MPH Avg. move time 4hrs.55, total 5hrs.38

Like this one. I am into towels now. You don't grow out of them and they transition into shop rags easier. Keep up the great work Derek, You have my support.

J. You need a wing man?. I might be able to sneak away for some riding. What's your route? B.

Riding with friend thru WV. The Ravenswood Day Loop. 33,119,14,36,60,20 and a few back woods roads down to Greenbrier area and return. Great day for a ride. The Numbers: 453.4 Miles, 7hr.55min Riding, 57.2 Mph Avg. 9hrs.07min total time.

Road out to the Triple Nickel Diner from the Hock with the wife following on her Spyder. 78E to 555S, Lunch. then 555 down to 50W. Tried to take 144N out of Coolsville but ran into a flooded area that closed the road. Back tracked 33N to Chauncy on 13N- back roads home. Had a fresh Pirelli Angel GT Rear tire on the Z. The lunch was great. They have added more items and lunch specials, plus a assortment of home made pie's.

The only all-weather riding suit I have now is the Adventure Style, REV’IT Poseidon Gore-Tex jacket and pants. They have a waterproof Norwegian Whale Foreskin outer layer that will keep you dry but it smells funny. If you are over 50 and have a large belly go a size larger on jacket. I blame it on a fatty Liver. I have a hot weather REVIT Cayenne Adventure Jacket and Pants from 2010 that has held up very well on and off road but you will need a rain suit. For the hot weather street bike ride I wear the REV’IT GT-R Air Textile Jacket and Pants. I think REVIT is a company over in Holland where they have great Coffee shops and Hookers. So it must be good.

Since your OP states that you are looking for "water proof over pants" I would suggest "Moose" They have the larger sizes you need. Gortex waterproof will limit your choice and cost more. I just completed a Adventure Ride in November with someone on a new Honda AT and he had a 2 piece Firstgear riding suite that was sized for over the pants. great gear with a nice price. Good luck.

Hocking hills

USED! For Sale SIDI Strada EVO Air Boot Size 12. A little wear around the toe shift area. Summer boot, Very light weight boot. it's a tight 12 so a 11 or 12 dog will work. $55.00 Hocking Hills/Logan area. Back in the day before internet when magazines ruled: * The Strada Evo Air is one of the coolest Sidi sport boots…in more ways that one! Encompassing most of the same features as the Strada Evo te-por (except the water resistant lining) the Strada Evo Air adds a pair of intake vents, called “Kent Vents” after Sport Rider Magazine’s Kent Kunitsugu who inspired them * Add the new replaceable thermoplastic shin plate and dual compound sole to the breathable lining and Sidi has created the coolest air breathing sport-touring boot on the planet! In use awhile back.

Fontana village is showing $143.00 a night in the lodge? 7-11 June. Is there a special handshake or code word? You guy's are high rollers!

Very nice machine. Hope this one meets your needs Enjoy!

My 2004 DL1000 was used 95% fast street and sport touring with the occasional gravel to get to a specific location off road like a lake, camping or event. I found the Metzlar Tourance tires were the best all-around for me. Very predictable when pushed. I think all tires of today are much better than what I road on back-in-the-day. The WR250 is a great bike with a large following and many aftermarket parts to fit your needs. I had a WR450 set up for desert riding that I brought from AZ. when I moved here in 2010. Sold it for a Z1000. It's all GOOD.
