Lol On 1/15/2017 at 6:50 PM, Qman said: I have too, but your route is slow and twisty! Enjoy your ride and be safe! Ive done Paul's route (mostly) in one day before. I slabbed to the river then did most of his route. Left the house at 3:30 am and made it to Gatlinburg around 10pm, think it was 930 miles total. Next day got up and did half the brp to Galax, then the other half the next day to Romney, WV. That was the weekend of Dan's Coolwink trip one of my favorite weeks on 2 wheels.

I've got the Ozark trip mostly planned out, been kind of busy with vacation and my old man being in the hospital. I'll post up the plans soon.

I got 5 quarts of that, one quart makes this much ape pie. I don't see any bourbon in that pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to ride the BRP even though I've ridden over it at least 4 times and 16 is an amazing road from north WV all the way to the end. I'll probably do a BRP day when we are at Fontana. Go from Cherokee to Mt Mitchell or reverse. Most likely be Thursday or Friday to beat the weekend traffic, it would be a long day on the bike but worth every mile.

Google maps says 162 miles from the cabins to Mount Mitchell one way, that wouldn't be too bad. I've been there but never to the top.

Be about a 350 day but would take all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be down early while you guys are still doing your Tour d'Ozark so I might run up that way during that time as well. @TimTheAzn going to find an el-cheapo street bike so you can tag along? I'd offer you the SV as a loaner but the suspension might be a little stiff for you, and I might not have it by the time June rolls around :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a trailer and got my suburban back. If it's just 2 of us, we can pull a smaller trailer with the Lezbaru. Or if there's anyone else who doesn't have time to do a two day trip down and a two day trip back and doesn't want to wear their ass out on the freeway, speak up now. I can haul 4 Sport bikes comfortably and five if necessary. Still haven't got another truck puting all my money in another house my butt cheeks are too tight to get a car loan . I'll have to see when I get closer to that time I like to ride bike depends on what my Job arrangements are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
