I think lots more folks would have a better ride if they dialed it back a bit and actually examined the corners. It's not as complex as people claim. It has its own rhythm. Yep. If you try to go fast, you'll be slow. This year I was just smoothly gliding from one corner to the next. Very little throttle or brake inputs, unless it was absolutely necessary. It was MUCH more fun that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 24 minutes ago, Isaac's Papa said: Next time I go to DG, it will be during the week. I'll leave the house on Saturday and take two days getting there via two-laners. I'll ride down there from Monday-Thursday and head home Friday and Saturday (or Saturday and Sunday). I'm completely over the fuck show that is Deals Gap on the weekend. I love riding down there, so I have to adjust my scheduled to suit my wants. Those wants include no parades of assholes on $20k bikes that can't fucking ride. Enough of that rant. I can say that WV-16 was amazing, as usual. I hadn't been on it since I owned the 748. I forgot how good it really is. I'm all about making several weekends in WV a usual thing. I need @Tpoppa's maps. I need them like @TimTheAzn needs penis. Yeah I think starting the trip down there on a Saturday and having Sunday/Monday/Tuesday at the very least to ride the roads when there's no crowd is the way to go. I'd like to do a 2 day trip down starting Saturday, ride a few days, then a 2 day trip back, ideally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 If we do Saturday thru Wed we get the added bonus of not seeing Casper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Wife and I plan to arrive Wednesday and leave Saturday morning next year. This year, Thursday afternoon riding was great right along with Friday, until evening, then it started packing in. Late Saturday morning, I plan to hold up a line of Harleys from the gap store to the overlook with my truck and trailer. I'll be sure to mount a GoPro on the tail of my bike to catch the parade in action. #LikeABawssss Edited June 14, 2016 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Most likely doing Wednesday to Sunday next year. I'll get the group rates setup for Tuesday to Monday for those who want to come early or leave late. The main day I would like everyone to be there would be Thursday. I'm working on something. Should have some more info this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The military and then life took us different directions. Saturday was the first time I saw him in 25 years. That was the highlight of my trip...well that and ditching that cop outside of Robbinsville We got loaded at the bar at Fontana. Not sure how much we drank but the bar bill for 2 of us was $140 Sunday morning I was still a little drunk. I had to chill out for a couple hours before I could ride the Dragon and head home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should plan a multi day WV ride for July. The roads are every bit as good as what's near Deal's Gap, but with less traffic and LEOs. It'll take 3 days (2 nights) to ride most of the really good roads. Last time I did a WV trip, I spent 1 night in Harrisonburg, VA (near James Madison University) and 1 night in Buckhannon, WV. I probably still have that route saved somewhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
