Recommended Posts

Final routes and hotels are being worked on and will be posted soon.  I will update this post when it is done.  But I wanted to get the basics up here asap so peeps can plan their vacation time.

Dates:  October 15 - 18.  Saturday through Tuesday.

Meet spot is just off 77 near Beckley at noon on Saturday the 15th.

BP Gas Station.

2001 Robert C Byrd Dr

MacArthur, WV 25873

We are going Nomad for this one.  Basic plan is roll out of Beckley at Noon the 15th and head south.  Then across a bit of the BRP, 209/212 to Maggie Valley.  From there we will zig zag towards Franklin.  South..jog west...north...jog west...south and roll through Highland area.  Then hit the northern edge of GA for Warwoman and Blood Mnt and all that.  Back up through the skyway and the dragon.  Then Jim and Joe's epic Damn Dam Route through TN and KY to Lexington.  Then probably slab home, or 62 to Cbus if time permits.

Nomad might sound tough but it isn't.  Just like the epic ride we break up into groups, meet for lunch and at the hotel that night.  It's really no different than one spot other than trailers will not work and you won't be able to pack 87 billion peeps in one cabin.

Routes and hotels will be posted soon.

 I've done quite a few trips that were "nomadic."  I prefer this to 1 location.

How many miles per day are you thinking?

Time to man up, sell that silly little track bike and get a real machine.

Never! I'd add to the stable at this point, not take away lol. Trumpet isnt worth selling, I wouldnt get what I want out of it with it having 31k on it even though its had all of the work done.

Sounds like you are due to add to the stable then, and let the Triumph become a track bike.

It pains me to say this but I'm out. The days off I found now have to be used to make a trip the to UP around the same time. Enjoy and ride safe. It was a blast riding down in June.

Added you to Caspers group.

If you and I make this trip bring a for sale sign with you. I'll let you ride the 14 for a spell and you be ready to throw that sign on the bike. ;)
