Foot pegs are hinged and have feelers, they are designed to touch down every now and then. :) IMO this is something everyone should experience, because when you do find yourself in over your head or evading some hazard you won't panic when you touch a peg feeler trying to save your ***.

AT 6'6" myself I can manage with FirstGear tall jackets but could never find riding pants to fit me. Motoport is the way to go. I have both kevlar mesh and stretch kevlar pants. I'm not a fan of zip/snap in liners, so I avoid them. I had motoport build me a rain pant to fit over my stretch...

I won't make the ride, but how can you pass through Thurmont and resist 77 up and over Cattoctin? That is a nice little road. Have fun weather looks to be great!

I'm soliciting recommendations for Cabin rental in the National forest area of VA/WV. Something in the Monogahela or George Washing forest area. I've checked with the National Parks and they are all full, so any recommendations for private operator cabins would be appreciated.

Well done. I recently road through Nova Scotia, but only maxed about 400 miles a day. BTW, I dig that tinted shield!!

Hagerstown, Fredericktown, Gaithersburg all too far away, this sucks! Its like trying to cast a vote on election day; which guy sucks less? In my area Heyeser is the only place with Yamaha's Gold standard service, meaning someone at some point in time went to yamaha school. Thanks everyone for...

@joebiodiesel, Thanks I didn't share my route into Margaretville, NY but I am planning to pickup Rt30 at Rt206. It looked good on Google.

Any recommended eateries or sights along these routes? (I tried to post the Google Maps embedded HTML code, but couldn't get that to preview correctly.) Google Map: Margaretville, NY to Hyde Away Inn, VT Google Map: Hyde Away,. VT to Jefferson, ME

I live in Maryland and just received my wiring harness recall notice. I've used Cycle World in south Baltimore for prior recalls, but noticed today that they are not listed on Yamaha's Dealer/Service list. Where are other Marylanders planning to take their bike?

@Fred. Thanks for the map. I was confused by Newbury VT instead of Newbury NH.

I need a map I can'g figure out where you were. Since I'm heading through there end-Aug. I was trying to figure it out. I never knew it was legal to mass on the double yellow in any state, I need to look that up!

Not sure how to interpret that? I'm familiar with the territory north through NY. The run east will be new ground though.

Jealous Redneck cagers! Would have loved to see him run clean off the road. He almost took out a second bike head on when crossing the center line. What an ***!

@Charlie, thanks for the advice. I'm currently looking at mid. to late July; but August isn't off the table yet. Looking at routes I'm thinking of overnighs in: Hunter, NY Burlington, VT Showhegan or Newport, ME Eastport, ME -- for a morning sunrise. Some where in Prince Edward Island or...

Wow! Just "wow" I don't know what else to say..... How about, I hope everyone gets what they deserve. (Which seems pretty clear after reading this thread.)

I'm not sure trading black flys for moose is fare? Any especially interesting sites and roads from Burlington VT into Eastport ME?

So last year I had planned to take a ride to Eastport, ME and dubbed it the Lobster Run. That trip got canceled when I broke my leg the weekend prior; but now I'm ready to ride again! My first concern are the black flys! Any idea when those *******s are active and when they settle down? I'm...

I just road that a couple weeks ago. Took a 3 day weekend stayed at the Smoke Hole Cabins right next to Smoke Hole Rd and Rt55. Hit routes 33, 28, and 66 on day two; than rolled up the BRP on day three.

Checking in! Your looking for us in the wrong state. For me every Maryland ride starts with a 90 minute blast out of town and into Virginia, or better yet West Virginia.
