Popular Post 2talltim Posted June 6, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Skipped the first part of the Natchez due to more storms. Just out side Jackson tonight will be doing most of the parkway tommorow. Got some sweet pic at the Mississippi River. Stayed dry today and hit some nice road down 7 through Arkansas.

Tonik Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 That little corner of Alabama you will hit on the Trace is a massive speed trap. Especially the last 10 miles before the river going north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Pretty sure last night's hotel had doctored or fake planted reviews. No way was it rated as high as I seen. At least it was cheap. Reasons are too many to post just don't ever stay at the Super 8 in Clinton, MS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Z. Heimer Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Thanks Tim for putting this together and all of you for sharing this trip with me. Going to chill for a few days at my daughter's home in Sharpsburg Ga. Took mostly backroads to get here after I left Barber. Hope you Ozark Boys have a safe and good time on the rest of your trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonian Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think @JustinNck1 and I are gonna bail on the Missouri trip we had planned for Labor Day weekend timeframe. Considering another trip towards the Gap area or possibly Northeast.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Al Z. Heimer Posted June 14, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Since it was the long way around to the Gap I'll toss this up. I left my daughters Monday morning and headed for the Gap. After biting the bullet and dealing with Atlanta traffic in the interest of time it was North Georgia back roads to Andrews North Carolina to look at a house. The further I went up the mountain the narrower the road got till it turned into large gravel and much steeper than I cared to venture. Bummer. The place had million dollar view. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/000-High-Top-Ln-Andrews-NC-28901/2094143493_zpid/?utm_source=email No way the wife would go for that. Then off to the Dragon. Blew past the store and took a break and had a chat at the overlook then blasted back to the store for a quick sandwich and drink. More back roads to Pickens SC. to visit some good friends. He is an F6B rider and she has a Spyder. They live in motorcycle road heaven. He rides that bike on the dark side and got 38k out of the first one. Says that once you get used to a few quirks handling is just fine. Yesterday was a long day. Banged out 650 miles and 6 states to get home from Pickens. Took some fantastic 2 lanes to Charleston West Virginia to slab it out the rest of the way. Dodged storms till eastern Kentucky then shit got real. Heavy rain,big wind and lightning. Experienced a lightning strike about 30 yards away when it hit either the tracks or rail cars that were next to the highway. No thanks. Was a good trip. Hated to come home but it was time. Like Tpoppa says no cops no drops. My thoughts on a Gen 2 FJR 1300. Needs 6th gear,needs cruise control,seat is atrocious,heat at the seat and your legs can get pretty uncomfortable lastly a speeding ticket just may be in your future. It is happy to cruise at 80 plus and handles pretty well in the twisty bits considering it's weight. Not sure if it is a keeper though.

JustinNck1 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I never seen the appeal/need of the 6th gear. I get better fuel mileage than the Connie guys and the FJR has plenty of chugging power. RPMs aren't ridiculous even when I got the cruise set at 85mph.
