As of now it's just myself and @Howabusa , @max power, and @Dreare going. So medium fast pace, 10-15 over(ish) except in the fun bits. Lots of miles, lots of twisties, 4 nights in hotel, 3 different hotels.

I ask that you have your gear and equipment in good working order, you are prepared for the day at hand and are flexible to any changes. Also make sure you have backup funds and resources if you get into trouble. I'm fine with any ones pace but don't get butt hurt if I leave you if you want to take it slower, ill wait at the turns or an occasional pull off. If you have a problem I'll make sure your are safe and help is on the way but I will continue my trip. About 300-400 miles a day of mostly twisties and mountains, maybe a 1800-2000 mile long weekend.

 

Here is the itinerary...(didn't add The Diamond Back or Devils Whip those can be done at the end of Thursday or start of Friday)

 

Wednesday June 17th..Slabby to Beckley WV after work. ( should be there around 7:30 pm ish) Having dinner a the steak house next door to hotel.

Speed safely. 👍

A few of us should be arriving at DGMR Sunday by mid afternoon.  Tank (Don B.) from Rideohio should be arriving 6/19.  He’s got a silver Versys 1000 now, not a VStrom.   I’ll be on my white Goldwing.

I need to wear out my tires and get new ones mounted. Definite maybe.

I'll be mounting a new T30 rear the weekend before. Probably be ready to take off when I get back.

I have a 2k trip left in my front tire. I do not have a 3k "chasing Tpoppa" trip left in my front tire. 

I have a vast collection of half used fronts in the garage. I much choose wisely.

...and my week off just went away. I fly to Houston on Wednesday and had my vacation scrubbed yesterday. 

Fuck you, China. 

Temps close to 100 next week down there, enjoy.

That's why you stay in elevation. Not my first rodeo.
