Eastern USA Tiger Ride-In West Virginia June 19-22 2008

[frzy]

Don't worry, there are paved roads in WV that put the Dragon (US 129) to shame.

Looking forward to that. I'm going to riding the Dragon and others the early part of the week before heading that way.

For those heading from Pickerington to Davis on the 19th, I plotted a route on my zumo.  If you want me to send it to you, shoot me a message and I will email it to you....for some reason it doesn't let me post a .gpb or .gpx file here...may be operator error.

So close! Spent a fair amount of time this weekend preparing. I think we've got everything packed.. Riding two up with camping gear.. Hopefully the Tiger can handle being a tad overloaded(according to the Owner's Manual limits anyway.) I guess I'll find out the hard way if it does not.  :shock:

New pads need to go on still, no one in town had the ones I needed, so I was forced to order and wait for the distributor. Installing rear pads the night before leaving..... GAH. Not how I wanted it to go down, but gotta do what I gotta do!

Confirmed for a room in Pickerington, we're looking to make it for BBQ dinner with everyone there... Got the contact info, so I'll give a ring once we arrive :)

Cheers, looking forward to meeting everyone!

This was a great ride ! The gravel was GOOD and the twisty 1 lane roads are the best !
Here's to you Mike , your the best !

What a terrific time in West Virginny!
Ed, West Virginny Mike and Kay. . . . Thanks for a terrific location
and arrangements. To Stephen Ford... your 'bonfire socials' were the
perfect touch!

We should have had a moment of silence for the deer that attacked Alan..
but he got his just reward!

Thanks to all who joined us and each with their own contribution making this a really fine event.

Another 'dead-head' home to Nebraska...

Lil Jason and I rode to Inianapolis then split.

We left 6:00am Eastern Time...

I arrived home 2:18am Eastern Time    1089 miles.

( Jim Price & I did the same 'dumb-assed' thing from Hiawassee! )

Bumming today!

I just want to say what an awesome time I had at the ride-in!  The campground accomodations were excellent, (they even had a light show Saturday night!)  It was great to meet all you Tiger riders face to face.  Even though I'm new to the board, you made me, (and my Trophy riding buddy Butch), feel like we were among old friends.    

I can't say enough about the amazing roads - we'll be back!  

A real special thank-you goes out to WV Mike and Kaylr for serving as hosts for Saturday's ride - it was great, depsite the challenges encountered.  But, the real highlight for me was getting out in the woods Saturday evening.  Thanks Mike, for sharing some of the off-pavement treats from your secret stash!  I felt privileged to go along, not to mention the opportunity to ride your very well sorted out cat.  

Thanks again to all involved.  I can't wait to do it again! :D
