Fight it, you aren't a passenger when riding the bike. The cop was confused.

If you do the Cherohala Skyway, be sure to hit the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and take the hiking path.

I liked Hwy 28/Hellbender better than the Dragon.

Warwoman Road in Northern Georgia is nice and connects to Hwy 28.

I will email you a file with some routes including OH555, which I didn't get to take due to weather! :(

thanks Darcy.

PS: riding WI-35 in the middle of the night is exciting!

Which bike or bikes do you two plan to ride?

Paul Streeter


I Paul, we're two up on the SV650. I'm posting daily on my website: http://everydayriding.org (for pics and details). We rode from Itasca to Brainerd today... found entirely too much gravel for two-up on a sportbike. :) Would have been much more fun on the WR250R.

Thanks for the tips all.

Ray, exactly the specific advice I was looking for. We do plan to hit the mountains after getting down to the gulf.

Stinger, we do have camelbacks. Nice tip on blowing back into the bladder.

Kevin, I will add it to the list. If we are in the area, we will have to check it out. What did you like best about it?

General Banter / Great River Ride - any recommendations?

My wife and I are heading up to Itasca today and then will be riding the entire length of the Mississippi down to the Gulf. After that, we intend to ride around in the South. We hope to ride the blue ridge parkway and related nearby roads. On the return trip we will also likely stop at the AMA museum. We'll be gone about 20 days or so.

Does anyone have any good roads or other recommendations?

I will be blogging as I go. If you are interested: http://www.everydayriding.org

Thanks!

General Banter / Re: Tire Pressure
« on: April 11, 2010, 08:50:06 PM »
I'm not using OEM tires, and I still follow the numbers on the swingarm from the bike mfg. If I remember right, the numbers on the side of my tires are the MAX pressure, not the pressure you'd want to use.

My SV650 says the same, and I follow it for the street. I  lower the pressure when it's below 40F a few psi. On my dual sport, I change the pressure a lot depending on the surface. I lower it for unpaved surfaces quite a bit.

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed this video in the link:


I would think, in addition to the city council/mayor, the AMA might help organize something like this.

Hi Mark, I'm Chris. My wife and I are also going to He on the 15th. For HE, I will be on my SV650. My wife is currently looking for a new bike 500-700cc that is 5'4" friendly and less than $3k
