Your choices are limited. Slow down. Pony up for suspension. Remove (or modify) the center stand.

You don't. We just accept the fact that life isn't fair and courtroom justice is for daytime television. Jim's link doesn't apply to my case, as she had the basic coverage required by law. Violent crime. Pretty sure driving like a self-absorbed piece of human trash without insurance doesn't apply.

My lawyer told me I was basically SOL for recovering anything from the welfare queen that ran us over. Pretty sure he'd tell you the same thing.

Honda CBR1000... fast bike. Honda GL1800... less fast bike. Problem solved. Zero dollars. You're welcome.

How quick were you moving? I would scrape pegs on the Vulcan and Goldwing in tighter corners, but nothing excessive. 2-up at the gap proved to be a fireworks show of floorboard grinding, but that has to be expected on a fully dressed Harley wannabe. You can slow down for tighter turns, grind the stand or upgrade your suspension. My personal favorite is the latter, but it isn't my money.

Rain delay until tomorrow, which looks unlikely as well. Mother nature is a harsh mistress. Unless god did it...which makes her an asshole too.

I used to drag the centerstand on the Multistrada until it scraped enough material away that it was no longer an issue. Just do that.

Pulled the phone charger and reinstalled the Garmin. I couldn't look at it without wishing it wasn't there.

100 miles from Cadiz to New Martinsville. 100 miles from New Martinsville to Cox Mills. (there is a fuel stop due east at 47/33) 100 miles from Cox Mills to Woodsfield. That should take care of fuel stops.

The GSA is available if you want to tag along.

@Gpaw, what is your comfortable fuel range?

Looks like a fun adventure. Glad you like the ST. I've never heard anyone mention regret over buying one.

Hell yeah, Joel. Speed safe and share that loop when you get home. Looks great!

This logic is quite sound.

I plan on meeting you in Cadiz around 8:15. I took the liberty of polishing your route, if you're inclined to put in a long day of twists and turns. I'm game if you are. https://goo.gl/maps/WJs2ezxnUtJ8LPEp9 Edit: I'm also perfectly fine with the route you posted. I'm just excited to put more miles down on this new bike.

Jesus.. I am sorry to read this, but am absolutely happy to know you're well enough to have typed it. I can't do much from Akron, but if you need anything.. say the word.

Hello sleeping strangers. Your weekly wake-up call is rapidly approaching.

Sounds like you should get nav or Android Auto.

Swapped out the GPS for a charging cradle for my phone. No more fancy TFT integration like the GSA has on board. Time to live like the rest of the serfs. ...and Goldwings suck.

I will let you know if I am going to be there. I may be doing a weekend trip into WV on Friday and riding back on Saturday..maybe Sunday. Depends on my mood.

Left the house at 7am. Got here at 10:45. Time for BBQ and spicy pickles. 420 miles. Home by 4PM. I like the little BMW. It's zoomy.

Next challenge: A pic of your bike next to a random Harley Davidson. (Cannot be someone you know)

Jealousy is a stinky cologne.

I'd rather push my BMW than Reverse a Goldwing.
