US-6 Along Lake Erie

feeds@yuku.com (CleRider) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:22:54 GMT

I always forget this gem is within a couple hours of me. US-6 west of Cleveland hugs the lake shore and provides hours of scenic views.

Along US-6 the leaves were at their peak and contrasting with the blue sky, the sun was bright, the lake was calm and filled with boats.

Today Jim C (my riding buddy from the T-rally) and I rode US-6 from Cleveland to Sandusky (near Toledo), cut south to Fremont, OH then back to Cleveland on US-20. Sorry Al, no pictures. I forgot to...

A Really Great Blog...

I've haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting this fellow, he's my cousin's husband, & a real rider! Fortunately, I was sent the link to Cole's blog, & can't tell you how much I enjoyed it... Hope you do too!

He's a great photographer, & a wonderful storyteller! Made me feel like I was right there with him for this wonderful riding time;
As you'll see, it's a "trip to Sturgis," but you'll find that it is Way more...

Covered Bridge Rides

feeds@yuku.com (rod rounds) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:08:54 GMT

How about some covered bridge rides, see how many you can see in one day.
I think it would be neat to get as many bikes on or in a covered bridge for some pic's.
Fall colors are coming soon, and covered bridges with Fall colors is like ice cream and apple pie
They just go good together.

Hope-Princeton BC Canada

Went for a nice ride on Monday, about 600 Km, 400 miles, from Richmond and back. Unfortunately alone (wife was working and couldn't get someone else to go on a work day). Weather was nice, about the coldest ride yet that I had, up through the mountains from Hope towards Princeton...

On July 1st my wife and I left Seiling, Ok. at 7:30 AM. in an effort to beat the extreme summer heat. We ate lunch in Boise City, Ok. Crossing the Oklahoma Panhandle, NO MANS LAND, it is just rolling hills and flat land with large ranches and circles of irrigated corn along the way, JUST MILES to cross. We beat the heat and ate lunch at the Dairyh Queen in Boise City, Ok.. Rode oh to Clayton, NM. Just West of Clayton, NM, we viewed the Capulin Volcano National Mounument. We saw the...

Does This Road Warrant Exploring?

Thanks to Mike2000T for pointing this road out to me and offering to take me down it when we have time.

NJ 519

feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:38:23 GMT

Of the 2239 miles I rode last week the most pleasantly surprising was along County Road 519 in NJ. Usually I avoid riding in NJ. After all, it is the most dense State, 11th largest in population and 4th smallest in size plus you have to pay $4 almost everywhere to leave (there are so many toll bridges). But I have many dozens of relatives that live there, in fact, almost all of my relatives live there, so I brave the traffic except this route did not have a lot of traffic, at least not on...

Hi guys I've just been reading through posts of great roads and found that with my bro here on the site I had to read through alot of his posts to make sure i'm not repeating stuff he's already told you all. As he's said more than once i've explored alot of the roads in the Finger Lakes area here in Central new York. Our all time favorite is Rt. 54A on the west side of Keuka Lake. 20 miles of curves at 30 miles an hour its one of the few roads that hugs the shore all the...

One last ride - Apache Trail (Hiway 88)

feeds@yuku.com (gr8scott51) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 08:59:53 GMT

Went for a short but very enjoyable ride up Hiway 88 to Tortilla Flat last Thursday. It's only 16 miles from the RV park to the end of the pavement on Apache Trail, but what a beautiful, fun ride. The posted speed limit for most of the ride is 25 due to the sharp twists and turns around the buttes and mesas and boulders and lakes. There are no guard rails and at times the drop offs are impressive. Dave and I rode to the end of the pavement. The road continues, but our bikes don't....

Help Me decide!

Ok folks...I need a little help deciding where and what to do. I live in north Mississippi and had a trip planned with buds, well they all have backed out due to business-they farm and weather has slowed their production. I on the other hand I a photographer and work by appointment and had booked myself out for the week and moved things around so that I could join them. Now I am planning a "Lone Wolf" trip -my first. We were going to travel North West Arkansas, easy for us to...

Bikers Beware

feeds@yuku.com (gr8scott51) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:19:15 GMT

I rode out of the RV park this morning headed for that portion of Hiway 49 which runs through Tahoe National Park and over Yuba Pass (6,708 ft). There were 35 miles of flat, mostly straight two and four lane hiway to get to that point just beyond Loyalton where I saw the sign that read "BIKERS BEWARE, 42 MILES OF DEAD MAN CURVES AHEAD". The next 75 miles of twists and turns, uphill and down along the North Fork of the Yuba River were a blast. I was treated to some gorgeous scenery...

TODAY'S RIDE ON MY T

feeds@yuku.com (Laura) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:33:38 GMT

After getting used to driving my bike around home I thought to venture out today. I drove to Laura S. Walker State Park in Waycross, GA (about 75 miles from home) to attend a family reunion on my mom's side. I brought two girlfriends along for moral support. One drives a Honda VTX 1300 and the other a V-Star 1100. You should have seen the guys - my uncles and cousins - they all wanted to talk bikes. I think I started something! A few have ridden some, but mostly smaller bikes. It was a...

Otter Creek camping

feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:20:15 GMT

Life has been a whirlwind lately...lots of stuff going on and lots of projects to complete (finally uploaded pics of the real flame tins and the skull and crutches dirtbike in my Motorcycle Gallery on my website). We had plans to take a break and head up to Blue Mt Brewery to meet a bunch of our northern VA motorcycle group for lunch on Saturday and then camp at Otter Creek with just a few of them. But, a friend of ours passed away last week, and we bailed on the lunch because John...

BRP ride with my Dad

feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:47:12 GMT

What a whirlwind weekend with my Dad! We headed up to Roanoke on Friday to Mill Mountain and the Roanoke Star (where there was BIG lightning and a bit of rain, so we didn't stay long), then to Dixie Caverns (where it started to POUR). After our tour of the cave, we headed to Shoney's for lunch and then a swim in the Quality Inn hotel pool (just what I needed). We hooked up with VTXRob and his lovely gal for a wonderful Mexican dinner and visit at El Rodeo (there was enough food on...

little bit of country in the middle of the city

I know it's not as exciting as the smoky mountain national park, but my favorite ride locally is Edward Hines Dr. it runs 18 miles or so from Dearborn Mi. to Northville, MI. nice leasurley ride not a lot of stops. So if your ever in the area check it out.

Devil's Triangle

feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:56:15 GMT

For the first time since the 2000 Honda Hoot I have not been riding with somebody that had never been down the Tail of the Dragon or the Cherohala Skyway, so I took the opportunity to go exploring in the Devil's Triangle, a few miles northwest of Knoxville, TN. What I found was most satisfying, particularly SR 116. It has some awesome twisties including switchbacks so tight it was not trying to made a U-turn on a two lane road with no shoulder with a large elevation...

Natchez Trace Parkway

It seems that most of the participants on this board are in the more northern or eastern/south eastern parts of the USA. With a few exceptions, of course. That being the case, a lot is posted here about the roads in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, etc. Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway (my personal favorite road in the world!). I have ridden these roads. They are beautiful. Cherohala Skyway is nice. Deal's Gap is pretty. Rode the "Tail Of The Dragon". It was fun!!...

Hello everyone. I just recently bought a 98 T and love it. I am also new to the forum and have a question about rides? I have noticed there are alot of Northern rides, and also rides out west. I live in North Carolina and was wondering if there is anyone around this area that takes rides down this way? Me and the wife love to ride, but with 2 small children i cant make any rides that are out of state. Especially...

State Park campgrounds

feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:25:41 GMT

My friend, Denise, and I are looking to camp close to the BRP a few times this year so we can do extended periods of Fairy Stone hunting. I've found a number of private campgrounds near Fairy Stone State Park...but have a question about the State Parks. Most of them say "one vehicle per tent site". Since we'll both have gear on our bikes, I'm hoping that they will allow two bikes at a site (or 3 if John decides to camp).

Have any of you had an issue with...
