Road Trip? There's already one person riding in from out of state to stay the weekend for this ride.

I will probably be in WI at some point, so maybe you show me some of your favorite roads....

We are going to experience some great roads. The Dragon is way over-rated.

Gotta love motor cycle superstore.

Ordered a new rear tire (michelin pilot road) for $125 w/free shipping around lunch today. The tire shipped out the same day and I already have a tracking number. I should have the new tire by Tuesday.

Those guys rock! :thumbup:

That's because you ordered from a company that ships from CA. Try ordering from someone on the East Coast next time.

Normal shipping from UPS ground from New York to Illinois is only 2 days to us.

Competition Accessories, for example, is on NC.

I needed the best price and I needed it quick for our ride.


P.S. I worked for UPS for 5 years.

Nice road, but too many LEO's.

The Cherohala would be my favorite, love those sweepers. Also, hwy 28 south of Highlands, love the tight sections along that road.

The HellBender is also very nice.

i was mainly looking for the best price on the tires, looked at many differnt websites and called a bunch of local places but they had them for the cheepest plus the allure of free two day shipping made me go that route but i got them so no big deal and i guess i was just impatient and couldnt stand letting my bike sit idle for a week

Understood.

If Ga-Bandit makes it, he will shoot video, as he has a Hi Def video cam on his bike.

I have some footage here from our last ride. I'll see if I can stitch some clips together and post it.
