    Upstate Mountains later this week?

    FYI: From where I live, the 178-215-brp-276 loop is about 3 hours if you stop much. Saluda & back is 2 hours max if you sit and take a break in Saluda (including a couple of backroads).

    Upstate Mountains later this week?

    Hey Hollywood. Ignore my PM. Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it. We'd have to leave to early today to try being back there by 6, and one of my sons has a piano recital tom. mid-afternoon. I think the wife and I are just going to try doing a quick ride to Saluda & back tonight instead...

    Upstate Mountains later this week?

    Just spoke to the wife. Couple Q for ya: 1- what kind of pace to do hold? 2- when are you going? I might need to get a sitter for a couple of hours... If I can go, I'll meet you at 11 & 178. It is only about 15 minutes from my house.

    Contacted by the Blue Ridge Parkway!!!

    Yeah, traffic always sucks on it... I've came close to hitting DOGS most often on the BRP. Got the radio collars on, but no owners anywhere... Due to time limitations, I think this is our only option right now. Both of us HATE riding highway, and there's no other way to make it up there in a...

    Yeah, I've seen 'em hiding before, sometimes you can spot them a couple of turns early here at the southern end. We usually run 55-60, and we've not been bothered......so far ;)

    Actually, that is our return route. We're thinking we can rent a U-haul truck one-way from G'ville to Ft. Royal, driving it up on a Friday. Stay at a hotel Friday night, and get up Sat. morning for starting the ride down Skyline Dr. Was thinking of camping out on BRP Sat. night, but if...

    Cool Brian! A co-worker and I are planning on starting in Ft. Royal on a Sat. morning this summer, and finishing at the southernmost end of the pkwy on Sunday afternoon. Mileage seems doable. Any thoughts?

    Two Brothers P1-R PowerTip Silencer - are they worth it?

    Could you give us an idea of how much they decrease the noise? Are they just barely noticeable that you have them, or your wife can tell the difference :D ? (don't mean to offend any of you ladies, but my wife doesn't know the difference between the tire & the rim...) Also, does it keep its...

    R6 forks or recycling?

    as long as the wheel's clamped tight you should be fine. Hard to tell from your pics though. I would adjust that front zip tie. It looks like it could slip off the back side of the fender & get loose on ya, and you don't want that!!!

    Whats the coldest ride you've taken?

    Yeah, I love it too :thumbup: I just wish I could afford heated gear to ride the colder temps, but we just don't get that cold for very long here to justify it...

    Did you drop it on the left or right?

    I haven't dropped my FZ yet, but I voted left since that's the side my Katana fell over on. I'm betting there will be more lefts, since that's the kickstand side...

    Whats the coldest ride you've taken?

    Set my new personal record this year. It was 9 degrees F for my 45 minute ride to work back in Janruary. I don't know what the wind chill factor was, but I sure didn't run 80 for very long :D . Ride home was in the 20's. I ride in the 30's all winter, and many days in the 20's. Just gotta...
