2talltim Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) As of now it's just myself and @Howabusa , @max power, and @Dreare going. So medium fast pace, 10-15 over(ish) except in the fun bits. Lots of miles, lots of twisties, 4 nights in hotel, 3 different hotels. I ask that you have your gear and equipment in good working order, you are prepared for the day at hand and are flexible to any changes. Also make sure you have backup funds and resources if you get into trouble. I'm fine with any ones pace but don't get butt hurt if I leave you if you want to take it slower, ill wait at the turns or an occasional pull off. If you have a problem I'll make sure your are safe and help is on the way but I will continue my trip. About 300-400 miles a day of mostly twisties and mountains, maybe a 1800-2000 mile long weekend. Here is the itinerary...(didn't add The Diamond Back or Devils Whip those can be done at the end of Thursday or start of Friday) Wednesday June 17th..Slabby to Beckley WV after work. ( should be there around 7:30 pm ish) Having dinner a the steak house next door to hotel. https://goo.gl/maps/4z6UdSKFWECShoWQ8 Thursday June 18th...Beckley, WV to Little Switzerland https://goo.gl/maps/AaA6Vybqhwafx3e96 Friday June 19th...Little Switzerland to Deals Gap..then 2 Wheel Inn https://goo.gl/maps/JjHK917Bc9qXLJR28 Saturday June 20th fun loop w/ dinner at Cafe Rel https://goo.gl/maps/KTAFi45VbnKL22uB8 Sunday June 21st.....(two differnt)Long twisty routes home https://goo.gl/maps/tXp2QCwkp9W4oMzP7 https://goo.gl/maps/vvDmkRYwckqESqtK8 OR...

Wahoo Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Speed safely. 👍 A few of us should be arriving at DGMR Sunday by mid afternoon. Tank (Don B.) from Rideohio should be arriving 6/19. He’s got a silver Versys 1000 now, not a VStrom. I’ll be on my white Goldwing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
