Likwid Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 What I learned from this trip.- Don't put new pegs before a big ride- The VRod can outrun me before I outrun it- The radiator shrouds scrape second- Pauly can't keep up with a Concourse- Brian has giant nipples- Kosmo is a fucking maniac- Brian is a daredevil- Pauly snores SO loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Really?I swear you have terrible math, or you just don't like to push it to the gas limit.IIRC it was 80 miles last year on the vulcan...I don't think it had anything to do with the BIKE's gas limit...Things I learned on this trip:1) Apparently I don't know how to tell if my tires need replaced sooner than later2) I'm just a little bit better rider than I gave myself credit for. Multiple opinions of my tires being shitty were going to lead to bad things. I got lucky but I also didn't push it too much cause I was scurred3) Its entirely possible to do the Dragon at about 40mph......in a 2500HD with 2 bikes on the trailer and 1 in the bed. Never more scared in my life4) Pauly can drive the shit out of my truck5) I don't wanna ride in Ohio anymore6) I fucking LOVE my VFRWith tire wear, replace sooner rather than later. Later it TOO late.And regarding Pauly's driving skillz... You're just a wimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 That guy riding the Concourse was fast as shit. He left me like I had my kickstand on the pavement. Serves me right' date=' though.. for making Matt feel like a slow bitch all weekend.

You're just a wimp.this noob is still learning about motorcycles. Although I did feel a shit ton better about my crappy riding when we were finally loading up the bikes to go home and Pauly was suprised I didn't eat shit riding like we were on those tires. Hell I even was keeping it pulled back because everyone had my paranoid about themAnd yes it is true that when I drove it on the Dragon I was a giant wimp, I wasn't about to lose $60k worth of shit or clipping a rider coming on a blind corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've been riding "skeerd" on the 250 all that I've been on it this season, it has a weather crack all the way around the sidewall on one side from sitting out all winter. It's a good thing it won't go all that fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took 294 to 68 back to Telico and took the Cherohala back to Robinsville. I went and road the dragon one more time by myself when we got back.

dugan n rita Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sounds like all had fun. The wife and I just rode 1089 miles in 5days, all in W.V.,MD, and PA, and just a touch of VA, and what it took to get out of OH. We have done the tail, 2 times, and its a blast, but its closer to go ride 219, and its just as fun. Be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
