Decided to go for it

I was on the fence about heading to West Virginia 250 this morning.  I woke up early and decided I was going to go for it even though it was a holiday weekend. Only saw cops where I expected them to be and had an awesome ride. Took 164 to 9 to 250 all the way to Hundred. Ran 7 to New Martinsville then took 556 to 145 to 148 to 9 back to 164. Left my place at 6 and home by 3. It was an awesome ride. 450 miles round trip. Thanks @NinjaDoc for sweeping away all those cops you spotted yesterday. I'm starting to wonder if you're a cop magnet. I think every time I've rode with you I've seen a cop. Grant it nobody has been pulled over.

:D good ride Durk,  post some pics.

 

I kinda have the same doubt too about cop magnet :( on the way back from gap I was pulled over, cop asked for ID and I ended up giving him my credit card, and memory is hazy on if I gave him my AAA card after ward before I finally reached the Licence :D all I know is he laughed seeing hyper gene wilder nervous nerdy brown guy on a dorky bike fumbling with my wallet and cards. He let me go :D

So next time I get pulled over I know what I'm doing. Fumble through my wallet all nervous, speak with an accent, hand the officer a couple of different cards before I hand him my license. Think it will work for me too?

btw I suck at taking pictures. I took 1 pic today. I usually just ride.  I'm always rushing to get home asap so I can spend time with my wife and kids. Secondly, I can only post pics here by posting to the gallery and I doubt everybody wants to see my pics every time they visit the forum.

Just did an out and back today. Multistrada was singing along with the rhythm of the road. 

Nice. I guess the gravel on 250 does not bother you as much as it does me. It was not every where but enough that I would not say I was singing along. Sure I had some stretches where I was moving along but I definitely was cautious after I spotted it a time or 2. WV 7 on the other hand was a different story. I definitely got into a rhythm there, but it's not as tight either so that may be some of it too.

You guys missed out on the best part of 250. I rode the W.Va/Va. part yesterday which is pretty awesome.

So know I get profiled just because I'm on a liter bike. Prejudice is an ugly thing I tell you. 

Durk, Congrats on the CBR1000rr!! Finally got an engine big enough to suit your speed demon carve-it-up riding style lol

Thanks TreeFime. I never rode the 600rr to its full abilities so now I'm just on a bike that's even more capable than I am. I do have a need for speed but I would not call myself speed demon carve-it-up rider. I'm still learning a lot. 

Glad you were able to get out and ride yesterday. I have ridden some of that section of 250 on my way to Deals Gap the past 2 years. It is good stuff as well.
