    Take Me Home, Country Roads - West Virginia

    Great write up....I still don't think you should wait until we had a little to drink, poke us in the eye and then snap a picture :) I thought it was the best EOM yet and it was very nice to meet you Tyler! My nine day EOM ride only included an hour and a half of rain. I did a lot of riding...

    Rear Shock (Penske) advice

    When the oil is all gone you just stand up and use your legs to stop the bouncing. Go a little further and the shock will stop bouncing. I did that and piston had to be replaced. Under warranty because a nut was not torqued right on rebuild. Dare I ask who rebuilt it a year ago?

    Floating Bridge

    Yes summer rides are nice. Winter and spring mud seasons can be tricky.

    Floating Bridge

    Wait your turn. The covered bridges usually have a sign to remind you to put on your lights.

    Floating Bridge

    Left home at 05:30 to see the new floating bridge in Brookfield VT. This is the third bridge and will be easier than the old ones to fix when it sinks. Three floating bridges in the country and this is the only one this side of the Mississippi. CJ

    Cross Continent Ride

    Ross, You did an epic trip! Nothing wrong with changing plans.

    Cross Continent Ride

    Ross, I've found holidays and weekends fri/sat is best to make reservations a day ahead. You can camp in any National forest with no campground. Just set up camp so you can't be seen from the road. You'll see a lot of people doing this I hate traffic too

    Leaning out/in

    Sliding your butt off on the street also commits you to hanging off on that corner. On the street unexpected things happen and you will have a hard time changing lines with your butt hanging. I put my belly into my corners. That's most of my weight! I can never keep up with S76 in the tight...
