Well the day started not looking too well. Rain and fog up here in maryland. "so we're gonna get a little muddy" i thought to myself. Little did i know that once i crossed into VA it was clear blue skies. We headed out onto some gravel roads and i noticed that my shock was stacking, so at the next stop i backed the compression dampenening off by 10 or so clicks, problem solved.

I think this was neer Elizabeth Furnace off of Fort Valley

This was wild, an abbandoned ski lift just running up the mountain...
Image
This trippy GL1100 goldwing with diamond plate everything. this guy was hardcore. 50 years of riding, i hope i'm doing half as well.
Image
And eventually we made it to Peter's mill. this was a blast. definitely requireing a revisit in short order.
here we conflab while resting.

I can't belive a GS made it up here

A friggin GS up here??? looks like a` BMW comercial.

Victory!!! you bet it was rough for a first timer.

All the locals on 4wheelers were gawking at the street bike on the mountain. i don't think Omar got the memo.

Fun stuff Armadillo.

I'd like a big dualsport single myself. The KLR is the easy choice, but i noticed the Yam in there. Is that a new XTz660??? I am a bit behind on current models

thanks

How do you like your DRZ? What mods have you done? I see you have the same pipe as me, and you have added the IMS tank. Looks good! 8)
