Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 13, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 13, 2011 If the GA group can stay in Roanoke Wednesday night, when would the DC/PA contingent be heading up? and are you trailering or riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 5thGenJim Posted August 15, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 15, 2011 So, wait - where are we sleeping?? I think I missed the post about the new hotel... as long as there ain't no bed bugs, it's got clean sheets and the smell of sulfur doesn't chase you out of the hotel evertime someone takes a shower, I'm good.

Member Contributer wrestler Posted August 15, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 15, 2011 What are the chances of there being a Red Roof Inn up there where you want to hold this thing? I have some free nights to use... No such luck, sorry. Closest one is about an hour away. I should have the motel sorted out this weekend, I'll keep you posted. So Sebastian, you mean the deluxe digs you took Travis and me to has at last been ditched and you're surrendering to my catering suggestion? I love it when a plan comes together LOL.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 18, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 18, 2011 Your B to C route runs right through my and Burns' backyards. How are those roads? Is that a decent route? What day are you guys heading up? We are trying to hit the Blue Ridge Parkway on the way up (Wednesday-Thursday) instead of on the way home Sunday... Thoughts?

Given how tired, sore and hung over you'll likely be, yeah - Sunday Slab. The roads aren't wretched. They usually have some kind of construction going on I-81 through Schuylkill County. But, it looked all interstate, so, it's going to be a snooze-fest for ya. I think we're planning a Thursday evening departure, staying in the Poconos that night, then shooting north in the morning.

If you, boys need a place to stay in the Poconos, you're welcome to spend the night at my house there. It's in Howley, 20 minutes West of Port Jervis on i84 Lemme know.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 22, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks for info on roads and the offer of a couch or cot. We should be able to finalize or general route in the next week or two...started to get excited. new tires, new chain and sprockets, looking at some gps options, getting the scala g4 repaired...minicarver has new chain and sprockets, will need new tires by then, he is lusting after Freddie Spencer...or at least his Arai RX Q in Freddie Spencer colors...and we are looking at some soft luggage options or possibly a set of hard bags for one of the two bikes...i hate to lose my high mount though.

I'm looking into PL257 from GIVI, but I'd have to modify it for my high mount. I don't have my stock exhaust anymore, so low mount is not an option for me...

CCarver..I have a set (actually 2 sets) of soft luggage options if you want to take a look. MiniC is welcomed to either. Oh yea..I got the new rear tire installed this weekend - right size this time :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go the soft bag route, talk to Burns about his rig to keep the bags away from his high mount. Pretty slick. I have space - between the E360's and the E45 for a few cases of beer.

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted August 23, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 23, 2011 So screen name "finally" is Tom? Welcome! I'll probably order some tires this week. If you (CornerCarver) don't have your local mount and balance guy available you're welcome to have MiniC's tires shipped to me and you guys can ride up after they arrive. Now I just need to get my heated grips wired up! Maybe clean the bird poo off the fairing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted August 23, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 23, 2011 Correction: Tires now ordered. Missed the $200 Powers deal, though. Ordered yet another pair of gloves. Be forewarned: $30 Bilt gloves from Cycle Gear not worth thirty bucks... $20 Bilt gloves from CG also not worth twenty bucks... These were a better try, however. Just sized too small and no gauntlet to cover the sleeve cuffs. Breathe pretty nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
