    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Well, before I start in on the Maine trip pictures, here's one that came to me late - from the Smokies trip a few weeks ago. Bridal Veil Falls ...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Yeah, it's gonna be hard for me to trust it. But at this point, I have purchased the trip interruption coverage, and will just ride the heck outta the bike. If it has ANY problems whatsoever after this, I will reference this one event for the life of the bike. Basically, I'm gonna maintain...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Yes, insurance will cover the bike (full coverage) ... I did not have 'trip interruption' coverage though - so I am on the hook for the rental truck, BUT they're working with me on it all. They have been generous. As for the bike, my opinion was that it would be totaled. I mean, come on...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Well, we just got back from Maine earlier today. It's about a 28 hour run for us. I rode the Fazer in, and she took a flight and met me there. We spent a week there enjoying the coastal communities and eating lobster and fish. Sadly, the bike did not make it back under her own power. There...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Here's a little clip from some GoPro footage that I took on our way back home. This was on The Dragon. The bike is fully loaded, and my moto skills are only adequate, so please excuse my lack of 'go fast'. Anyways, about half-way throught the video, I wave by one of the locals, and his...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Yes, I would recommend visiting! Even if only to say that you've done it! The area is great, and The Dragon is fun but can be very busy on the weekends, depending on when you go. I enjoy some of the other roads in the area more than The Dragon itself. It goes without saying that if you can...

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    I had a chance to do a little fishing while I was there, with a friend from Maryland. That new tire ain't so new anymore! We have a beer exchange every year, so I had a friend mule some Texas beer up for me to share with everyone.

    Strider's 2014 Trip Report Thread

    Since I like Dustin's format so much, I figured I would follow suit and start a thread of my own. Now I doubt I will log as many miles as Dustin, with such a late start in the season, but who's counting miles anyway! People just want to see pictures! Here are some pictures from my recent -...

    Congrats! Great picture! (And for everyone else that posted, I enjoyed looking at all of the pictures - keep shooting and posting!)

    Buddy went down. Pics attached

    I noticed that in the original post, and simply thought that it was a typo. So you're saying there was a rider there with multiple wives? Were they all on one motorcycle?

    AdMore Lighting LED Kit for Givi V35 Hard bags

    So, I finally got around to installing the lights in my hard bags. They've been sitting around here for a while, and since it's time to go slay a little Dragon again, I figured I better get them installed. This is the kit I used. AdMore Lighting High Output LED Kit for Givi V35 PLX...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Nice grabs on the bike for your Missus, and the set of lock barrels!

    Thanks Amigo! Here's a few of the pics I took for the Craigslist ad ...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Ok, now that's weird - So I started looking for your post that I quoted, Brad, and realized that it came from PAGE 51 of the thread, from Sept of last year! I dunno how I managed that but oh well ...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    I use a dry bag for my sleeping bag. It's a heavy reinforced bag that I got from the camping section at Walmart. I just roll my sleeping bag real tight and stuff it into the bag. Then I sit on it to compress it down and force all of the air out, before I roll the top of the bag closed. It's...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Started prepping the SV650S for sale. Finally installed a 'new to her' windscreen that a buddy gave me, washed her, adjusted a bar end, and polished up the exhaust piping. Tomorrow I'll finish up with a chain cleaning and lube, and wax the bike. Then photos for a Craigslist add. The price...

    The dragon

    Thanks to the guys posting other routes to ride while in the area. I agree, the Dragon maybe the 'main attraction', but there are PLENTY of other roads to ride and tons of cool stuff to see while there.

    The dragon

    I've never stayed there, but the rooms at the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort have always been described as being both clean and spartan.

    The dragon

    I've been. I had a whole nice post typed up, but hit some key and 'poofed' it all - I don't feel like typing it all up again, so here's the brief of it ... The Dragon it tight, stay on your P's and Q's - if you ride defensively, you'll be fine. You never know what will be around the next...
