BigOgre and I hauled bikes ('Strom, F650, KDX2??, DR200) and sons 5.5 hours (7 with traffic & bladder breaks) from L.I. to Atlanta (NY) to ride a DS event - Wayne County Motorcycle Club Thrills in the Hills. We talked about riding up but didn't think the 200's would keep up. BigOgre's new 'Strom (500 miles on odo before ride) has now been christened with mud. Here's some photos:

Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the tricky sections - too busy hanging on to the handlbars with both hands. :) I survived all the tricky sections and fell in a puddle on a flat road. :huh:
