I scroll through there every now and then and just cringe.

Extended warranty FTW! I hope I never have to use mine, but I got 4 years worth.

Deals Gap "The Dragon" Facebook page does mid-day updates of the road, and everything looks good. https://www.facebook.com/DealsGap/

I've been very happy with my Honda Accord V6 Coupe. It's fun to drive. Got 34.5 MPG on a trip to Cincinnati. You can find them in Manual transmission. I also liked my 2011 Chevy Cruze. Great gas mileage, leather seats were great.

Nice, I rode through Marietta about 2pm or so for lunch. Perfect riding weather yesterday.

This one says $1900 or best offer. Might have some negotiating room. https://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/6140122297.html

I have ran half a dozen sets of Angel GTs and I thought they are one of the best performance Sport Touring tires, but the mileage on heavier bikes wasn't the best. Until now. For the same amount of money, I got the Roadsmart 3s plus a rebate. So far i got a couple hundred miles on them, and I would say they turn in better than any other sport touring tire (I've tried Angel GTs, BT023s, T30s, & PR4s). If i get mileage remotely close to what the reviews are saying, I will be buying more of them in the future.

Got both saddlebags and top case packed. Adjusted suspension for loaded. Took the bike for a ride and it was very stable loaded down. Saddlebags left to right were within a 2 pound difference. I am ready to go. Now if Friday could hurry up and get here.

Can we still blame you for the rain? Where's the doom of hate when we need it? @Tonik

No worries, I just took it out for a little 100 mile ride and got it covered in bugs again.

Bike serviced, tires changed, a quick wash, and now it's time to start packing.

Price drop to $80

Welcome, from another FJR owner!

OK, good example. Was he on an old KZ1000?

Who the hell willingly rides 270?

Wow! That turned out really nice.

Rode to work this morning with the top case installed. First time I've rode with it this year. Takes some getting used to with cross winds.

OK, here is my planned route for Day 1. If anyone wants to meetup, the intersection at 62 and 32 looks to be a good place. I am still planning on leaving at noon. I'll probably roll through there at 2pm. Google Maps is saying 6 Hours 26 Minutes. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Coolville,+Ohio/Ripley,+OH/38.2587066,-85.7618905/2495+Landmark+Ave+NE,+Corydon,+IN+47112/@38.9385,-83.7620583,12.75z/data=!4m66!4m65!1m10!1m1!1s0x8848436a8c1f0c55:0xc0156229c1556c85!2m2!1d-81.7973557!2d39.2217427!3m4!1m2!1d-83.7250986!2d38.9663037!3s0x884131b5a72a903f:0x134f0af14d2868d2!1m45!1m1!1s0x88414403bfa53ef5:0x52b300df4f9d7ff1!2m2!1d-83.8449245!2d38.7456277!3m4!1m2!1d-84.0323848!2d38.6672461!3s0x884165f7ba5c8097:0xd3f515f5bc46acee!3m4!1m2!1d-84.1750036!2d38.6610769!3s0x88417a10dabbd785:0xb045af045709febd!3m4!1m2!1d-84.4468085!2d38.6715843!3s0x88418ff63a1eeb75:0x475ee3138988412b!3m4!1m2!1d-84.5771702!2d38.659529!3s0x88418d1cbf8897f7:0x98975fa1c91fae40!3m4!1m2!1d-84.6770585!2d38.6551364!3s0x8841f3cda64e06c9:0xd17f3bc24fac623d!3m4!1m2!1d-84.7462916!2d38.5659593!3s0x8841f7a4d412ed1f:0x3e14d00ab881cf5f!3m4!1m2!1d-84.9511413!2d38.4751173!3s0x8869fe1a21405619:0x60495fb74cd227d4!3m4!1m2!1d-85.094978!2d38.3679633!3s0x8869e545c8bf0749:0xbe4d1c7ad1157f4e!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x886937cf1613099b:0x63d80a9c3af2a49b!2m2!1d-86.1259507!2d38.2384187!3e0?hl=en

I just double checked the routes and everything looks good. By my calculations with my route for the 1st day, should be a total of just over 2000 miles.

+1 It's good to disconnect every now in then. I'm happy with AT&T. There are times I don't have service and Verizon does and vice versa. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

If you're looking for people to ride with, post a ride and see who shows. I was at the Gap the 14th for a little 3 day trip.
