We tried to show him the light now he will find out the long way. He'll do a couple years of the track life and realize now he's tired of going around the same circles all the time and wants to see the world but is now too far invested. Then will need to sell his track gear for 20% of what he paid for it and then need to buy touring equipment and to much of his surprise it's 50% the cost of track gear. Then he will be able to see the world , new faces and live his life to the fullest and think back to what a fool he had been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just keep the daytona for track, buy a used multistrada for cheap and have best of both worlds. i bet you can even pull your track trailer + bike with the multi.

Tonik Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I am leaving work in Elyria at 11:30ish Friday. Taking the route below if anyone wants to follow, but not close enough for Sena pairing. Just blasting down 83 all the way to Parkersburg. I will post up my GPS tracker later on if you want to meet along the way. https://goo.gl/maps/jDGt1fa4ASP2 Also, a couple of you please look at the routes for each day, get them in your GPS or print them out or something. It appears we have a pretty big crew, we may need to split into two groups. That would also allow the faster peeps to do their thing if they want.

JustinNck1 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 If anyone runs into issues Friday, feel free to contact me. I have a garage fully stocked with tools & tire machine. I'm only 15-20 minutes from Parkersburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Sunday will be prep day for me, bike, packing ect.. I'll study the routes and put the hotels in my GPS but I'm not worried about not having the exact routes on me. Been on all those roads multiple times and even if you get off track the alternative routes are usually just as good. Sometimes for me getting lost and fining new roads and alternate routes is part of the fun. I don't for see needing any parts or things for the bike this weekend she usually ready to roll at a moments notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Just glanced at the map for Saturday and maybe its been talked about already but do you think there is time to do 421(The Snake) and stop at the Shady Valley Country Store then just shoot up 91 to321 to J.C. would cut out some freeway and hit a couple nice roads.

Lets decide that at the gas stop in Marion before we hop on 81. We will have a better idea of how much time we have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea with the group size might make for a tighter time restraint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
