Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to ride this road, and report back to us.
Skyuka Mountain Road, near Columbus, NC, October 18 - This road is one of the most technically difficult roads I have ever experienced in the US and Europe. This is "expert level only" stuff and there is just no room for error. Steeper than it looks here, a moments hesitation or misjudgment in a corner can land you in a world of hurt. Yes, it's on the maps but with a strong warning. Like this page. If it's a good road it goes on the maps. Some of them are good to the extreme. Think hard before you decide to give this one a go, it's a real test of ability. Map #5
I think I'll be putting the bike down for the winter this weekend. The weather went from 70F 2 weeks ago to high 30's overnight, along with a shit ton of rain. Which is pretty much normal for around these parts this time of year.
Oil/Filter has been changed, time to dump some Seafoam in the tank, take it for a ride to get it down to the injectors, the park it, and pull the battery.

f@$k.
I understand the sentiments entirely. I could pull a beemerdons and make a joke...but that hurts too much. See you in May.
Got home from SFO on Sunday. Unloaded the bike that night (didn't really unpack though) so I could ride to work on Monday. Was a beautiful day for a ride.

I'm here to serve as an example of what NOT to do.

Rode it to work this morning.
I assume the HDs park in the next spot over??
This is the prized spot for motorcycles here. Its right next to the gate and the closest to the plat 2 work area.
On fair weather days, you have to be there early and wait for the guy on third to come out and move so you can play duck duck goose to get the spot.
So, there were no H-D nozzles on the premises, otherwise they would be in that spot. I did see a Ford Raptor with a large H-D decal in the rear window though.
Loud pipes save lives...if it's not too cold...or raining...or looks like it might rain...
There's just too much what the f@$k in this thread to know where to begin...
