2talltim Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 If you get right on the bumper of someone with an ezpass you can get through before the gate goes back down. There are no gates at those booths, just tape over your lisence plates and go...lol Was just through there last weekend, I blasted through the ezpass lanes at like 60 mph and just looked for the green light in my peripheral.

If I don't like it, I'll leave at the ass crack of dawn and two-lane it to Beckley. I'm easy like Sunday morning. That is probably what I will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 There is a bridge under construction on 16 just south of Tazewell. They have a traffic light set up at it for the one lane side. Don't sit at it for 5 min like I did, the bike would not trigger the sensor. After 5 min I ended up just running the bitch. Couple dirty corners in the good parts just after the construction. I had one good butt pucker moment then slowed my roll for a while which saved me from the second one. Gas station on the right once your a mile or more passed the green "back of the dragon" sign has tshirts and stickers. Looks like they have sprayed the areas were the Kudzu is growing and it's dying off, dosnt look as cool as ot used to. But I indestand why the did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I got the bike washed and waxed so I am ready to go. I will be rolling at 8 or 8:30. Below is my tracker if anyone wants to meet me on the way down. Pick an intercept point and message me. Tentative plan is slab to Parkersburg, then 119 down to near Charleston...quick slab to 3 and down to Beckley. Anyone has any issues PM me or post here. I will check messages frequently on the way down. http://www.greenalp.com/RealtimeTracker/index.php?viewuser=tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
