Bad324 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 also with as many people going, I'm sure there will be several different groups with different riding styles. Making one massive group thing won't happen and probably shouldn't, just too much of a pain in the ass and too many different skill levels and wants.For example both times I've gone, we go at what I'd consider a pretty brisk pace (again as a slow ass some others may think otherwise but its been perfect for me) and between 3-400 miles a day.

Gump Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 You want to trailer down bro.. We were going to use Max's trailer but maybe he'll take you up on this. Don't matter to me. Enclosed adds a lot of weight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just relax and ride slow enough that you are comfortable. You dont need to set track records at the Gap. No one will be impressed anyway. Also, not all of the roads around there are as intense as the Dragon. It will be crowded anyway. I think I rode it once last year just to say I did. Go find vids of Cherhola Skyway and Rt. 28. Those are the good roads IMO.Those roads look way more in my comfort zone. I definitely want to ride the dragon but I will probably have more fun on those other roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are rolling in his diesel Excursion and pulling my 7x12 trailer. We fit 4 bikes on it last year and might have had enough room for 1 more 600. Bikewise, it sounds like its just the 4 of us (CMHSprint, Marlboro Man, Gump and me) unless Carie wants to take her RR cuz I think Ben is riding down. Carie is riding down with us if she is going.

I definitely want to ride the dragon but I will probably have more fun on those other roads.pretty much thats how it is. I did the Dragon to do it and its kind of fun once you get over the initial fear but I could honestly go down there and not touch the Dragon so long as I got to ride 28. As everyone who knows me, the limited amount of roads I've been on in the country, this is by far my favoritethis spring come out my way and there is a few roads in the valley that can get you started into getting used to being able to handle not so straight roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykill Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Those roads look way more in my comfort zone. I definitely want to ride the dragon but I will probably have more fun on those other roads.Its not till June so hit up some group rides early in the year or make it a point to venture out to the twisties on your own.Youll still have a blast no matter what. Bad,Im interested in the 3-400 mile days you guys got planned. I want to get around and explore more of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiomike Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Not against riding down at all here, but I have made that trip many times, it sucks, unless there is time for staying off the Interstate.So ride down 23. From here I mapped it at about 7.5 hrs, going the speed limit....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I will definitely take you up on that offer.Excellent. I'm not exactly mr know it all however I know enough to at least get ya started and more comfortable with that kind of riding. Everyones gotta start somewhere and it wasn't too long ago I was in the same position so I don't mind helpingBad,Im interested in the 3-400 mile days you guys got planned. I want to get around and explore more of the area.for sure, I pretty much counted on the fact you joining us since you're a like minded individual in riding style, pace and what not. I just find it easier and more comfortable for everyone involved to try and stick to a like minded group.Plus you have good taste in motorcycles so that automatically gives you a leg up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
