If you want to leave earlier than that, you're more than welcome to join @cmh_sprint and I. We are planning on leaving my house around 10a, giving us plenty of time for stops, goofing off, and a nice break at the meet up spot.
I've had several people ask if I'll sell it outright. I've decided I will. I'd like to get $300 for it. Price added to original post as well. Also open to other stuff for trade. Just PM me and ask.
I love 555. But over the years, it's gotten worse. There was a section a few years ago that had been chip and tarred. I was so pissed. Sounds like they repaved it. Spring time on that road is stupid. Too much gravel and crap from the snow/rain. I prefer to ride it in late summer or early fall.
