I'm feeling pretty confident about a Wed. (18th) departure; likely to end up at the: Watstull Inn, Buchanan, VA or Some Chain Hotel, Bedford, VA Nik

Needs pipes, tint, a system, and dropped! ... on second thought please don't do that. Did the math and that is 4,000 miles per year! Who wasn't driving this thing? Very nice used ride though, enjoy.

Check out this thread in the FZ1 forum, very good advice WRT to your question. https://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122811

Yup, I'll post my plans here as they develop; and yes I've ridden that area some. Rt. 16 between Tazewell TN and Marion VA is also a crazy fun ride

My plan was to leave Annapolis area Thur. and arrive Fri. afternoon/evening; BUT after looking at the event itinerary and getting caught up in all the excitement I might leave work early Wed. and head south! Perhaps overnight near Lynchburg or Roanoke VA Nikk, (EOM noob)

Bourbon doesn't need refrigeration!

If by "Players list" you mean attendees, as of today I'm in for my first FJR rally. I have a room booked for Thur. arrival but haven't actually finalized my departure date so that might slip into Fri night.

That looked like a pretty good pace down a nasty dirt road! I'll ride those by accident when I'm exploring near home but not at that pace and especially not when I'm ~3,000 miles from home (or the finish). Brave man!

Very nice, I was just oogling that bike at the dealer yesterday. I left thinking my GenII is running strong but I could just move the seat, shock, and forks over and be good to go, I think. Envious.

Great rides all, epic awesome to follow along. I'm guessing JP Mountain has earned himself a new nickname "nutjob"!

Well that clears that up for me; AND is very contrary to my touring eating habits which usually involves sausage gravy and biscuits in the AM; beer, steak, and potatoes in the PM. The more I learn about this chaos the more impressed I get!

So, I woke up this morning thinking about the IBR and the insanity of the mileage these riders are putting in. Than, as is normal for me, I realized I was hungry and changed gears to thinking about what is for breakfast. Which than led me to wonder: How do these riders manage their meals? I'm...

So, some unknown rider (#138) cross the continental US in, call it 2.5 days; gets a rest day than crosses again to Florida in 2 days! WTF, when I took my ride across and back it took me a month; but I'm guessing I ate and slept a lot better This rally things sounds really cool except for the...

I've been following this from the start and am starting to feel like I'm not using my FJR to its potential!

Just read the Day 5 Daily; especially proud to be an FJR owner this morning. Way to guy Riders! Would like to poke whoever F'd up the phone call though, once they are over the disappointment of it. :)

Nice video looks like a fun road. I've added it to my motorcycle road waypoints.

Awesome all, thanks much I'll check out NERDS.

Planning to hit parts of VT and NH next week and would appreciate any recommended roads to travel. Nik

Great ending, glad it worked out.

I'm 6'6" 35" waist with a 36" inseam. I can get away with Tall sized jackets from Firstgear but was never able to find proper fitting pants. Try motoport.com. You'll get a great fitting protective pant. A bit pricey but they are full-custom. I recommend these...
