Let's plan on it. I think your tire marks on the lawn have grown over by now, time for new ones.Originally posted by EricM View Post

Seeing the K1300S's at Wattstull mad me languish for an inline four. It might have been spurred by another "we really shouldn't be here" moment Saturday on the Anakee III's in the mud when we jumped 45º one way, then the other and MIRACULOUSLY did not fall. Those are the places we just wouldn't have been on the S. But I like the GS a lot. Almost all the time.Originally posted by MattB View Post....... And please, for the love of all things good in this world, don't let the believers turn this into a GS is faster than a sportbike conversation.
But faster? Ha, you make funny.
It's just a little mud puddle. Just a foot deep mud puddle!
Sure was great to see everyone again !!!!!!!!!!!!Last edited by cabnfvr; 05-21-2019, 11:08 AM.Comment

Good advice sir! I'm leaning between Shinko 705s and / or TKC70s. The Go Pro was on and the GS went a full 45 degrees right, full left lock on the bars, and somehow the front tire came back and we were straight again. -
I've burned through several sets of TKC70's. I love them when they are fresh and hate them when they get to about the midpoint of their life. The outside tread buckles and cups. But they are sticky on pavement throughout their life.
The Stinko's are too new yet to tell how they will wear. But performance wise, at least on the street, they are at least equal to the 70's. I put 1k miles on last weekend and enjoyed them tremendously without any degradation of performance. No dirt/gravel yet so no comments.

Thank you to all who had a hand in making this possible. Like Joe said, the rain Friday morning was a good excuse to sleep a little late and recover from the previous nights festivities. It's really great to see new & old faces and swap lies.

Great write up Joe and then all the following comments and pics. Missed joining the party as I’m still recovering from rods and fusions in my back done in March. Already looking forward to next year.

Friday I rode with Joe and his group so no new news there. Saturday I rode out to Marlinton and the surrounding environs with Furman and Tim Buyse. Furman and I seem to do this ride every year and it was nice to have Tim ride with us. Tim came all the way from Kansas to the BRPR. I had ridden with Tim once in Arkansas. Took Tim to some of the best picture taking spots, Humpback covered bridge, Falling Springs waterfall, etc.
Humpback bridge and the love sign. The two trees are the "V".
Falling Spring Waterfall
View from Highlands Scenic Parkway. It's about ten degrees F cooler up there than down in Marlinton. Was 68F up there with a breeze.
Furman and Tim there

It seems everyone usually ends up at the River Inn around lunch time.
The Gang at Marlinton; From l to r, George, Joe, Tim Furman, Gary with his back to you, Steve, Ken, Jimmy Z, Curt, and Pete.
The restaurant is right on the Greenbriar River
Left there and went to the Green Bank Observatory. I think they have the largest radio telescope in the world and have some other exhibits outside.
Big ass radio telescope. Furman had posted this same picture earlier.
One of the exhibits outside
Cruised back to the Wattstull on Rt. 39, one of my favorite roads. Took a break in Goshen. That's Furman and Tim but you probably already knew that by now.
So a great day of riding with great roads and good folks to ride with. Came back to the Wattstull and decided I wanted to try and do a relive ride so fired up the app and rode from the Wattstull up to Eagle Rock and back on rt. 43.Having trouble getting the link to work so will post it later. A great rally and was good to see folks I hadn't seen in a couple of years. Thanks to Curt, Gary, Steve and Tim for coming from such a long ways. You really added a lot to the rally by coming.Last edited by Capnrip; 05-22-2019, 06:43 PM.Comment
