B-Mac

Just got back last night from Tellico Plains, TN. Road the Smokey Mountain 500

Checked E-Bay $95.00 but...Only up to 2012. checked they don't match up. I am going to try to pressure it up and try to find the leek, may have to peel back the flange then I can try to JBW it if I can see the sweet spot. I'll just have to put a new one on my Christmas list just below the 2022 Black Honda Monkey.

Took a small hit/ding to my lower front seam on the outlet tank side. Can't see it but drips out during operations. Tried stop leek and JBW on seem, NoGo. Need shop repair or new one is $750.00 Any Shops that can handle this??

Prost!

Spent the day NE of Marietta enjoying the colors and lite traffic for a 350 mile day ride. Crap video snippets: https://youtu.be/AlVUILIUv60

Wow, You brought back memories of the good old days for me. Yes, the Moped Gangs in Germany. There license system would only restrict 15YO's to under 50cc's and at 16YO to 125cc's. So they were all over the place. I was 24 YO on my second tour over there and had a Yamaha XS1100 cafed out and this gave me great respect with the Moped Gangs. The 80's I was stationed in Bad Kreuznach-8th. ID. Thanks for the memories.

Most likely going to replace it with a 17-18 Kawasaki Versys 1000lt or repurpose my V-Strom to a more street tour and pick up a Honda CFR300Rally to keep my dirty riding needs met.

Just returned yesterday from three days of ADV fun around Marietta and into WVA.

Monkey's!!!!!!!!🤪

ADV "lite" Ride Thursday 9/16 I am going to ride the "JimBo's Burgers and Beer" ADV route we did in June. Start (9AM-9:15) 23356 OH-56, South Bloomingville, OH 43152. AM. Route 1 is 72miles / PM. Route 2 is 76 miles. Spirited Pace. Conditions should be great. No Dust and light weekday Hocking traffic. Lunch can be had at Jimbo's

I am back home now. 4 Days of great riding the asphalt curves and the shit load of frack trails that are all over the area. Have a great week end. B.

No, My wife stopped by for dinner last night. I start riding a 8am sharp and slam the Frack roads and two tracks till 1 or 2 in the afternoon when it's 90+ outside. So a 6:30-7pm dinner departure is a it late for me. I might try the Marietta Brewing co. tonight or walk over to Applebee's fo wings and a burger tonight.

Just landed and checked in at the Microtel after a 125mile ADV back road ride in the shade for the most part. Looking forward to some early morning day rides this week on the East side.

Had a great ADV ride today on the Trans Ohio Trail Sections 7-6 and 5. Wahoo, your old bike was in the group.

I have reservations in the Micro, Arrive Mon. Depart Sat. or earlier on the V-Strom so any style of riding is good for me. I am waiting for weather forecast. I have a brother visiting Sat. Afternoon on his way to AZ. and we are riding to Slade, KY. Sunday AM.

Not a big deal. I am trying to decide what bike to bring to the event, ADV or Road. It's all good.

I am a no go this time. Have fun.😃

Are you going to be available to ride Mon-Fri on your NEW bike during the weekdays of the event?

I know, I have followed you a few time on 337 and you always have a big smile when you get to Chesterhill village.😀 and..... that's a good thing.

Durk, Question from the back of class, corner seat by the window. Have you ever continued west on 78 to 555 at Ringgold and road the new paved section of 555 to Chesterhill? it adds 12min/6miles from your normal route turn at 78/377.

ADV Ride this Sunday, (1 Aug) from Laurelville, OH. Village Cafe, meet for B-Fest at 9am and topped off ready to ride NLT 10am. This will take in some of the dirty stuff we all have done in the area, roads with names like Election, Sams creek, Pleasant ridge, Pole ridge down to Hamden, Lake hope-Hock Hills and return. You know the drill. all welcome. This route I created back in 2014 from the Baby Burr and Hanging Rock stuff so we may have some rode close / reroutes/ back tracks. Even thou I am starting to develop a "Biden" memory thing I kinda know my way around these parts. We shall see. PS: "My Butt's been Wiped"
