finally got my bt45s on and some free time to ride. rode outta DC at 11am to hit up the 211 twisties. i was still feeling adventurous, so i headed down to harrisonburg, and out 33 west to the WV border. that is such an unbelievable road. 4 miles up of 180 degree switchbacks and double-apex turns, not much traffic and mountainous beauty.
for anyone that hasn't jumped on the bridgestone bandwagon yet, i HIGHLY recommend it! my lil gs feels sooo much more stable at speed, whether highway or hairpin. i cooked the 120 highway miles back and never dropped much below 90mph (as indicated on the crappy speedo anyway).
total trip = 400 miles, 8 hours in the saddle. :thumb:
Cool looking bike. I too have the BT45's but they came with the bike, wasn't a specific choice by me :)
I haven't experienced any other tires, but it does seem like mine are a bit wobbly at high speed, ie around max which is about 100-105 indicated for me.
ASLAM.
Dude, sorry I missed that trip. Did you announce it on the board? If you did I'll kick myself for missing it. I would have ridden north (I'm only 3 hours south of 33) and met you in Harrisonburg, VA. Route 33 from VA and WV is an awsome piece of road. :thumb: You don't just ride 33 you have an orgasmic relationship with it and smoke a cigarette when you get back to 81 or cuddle with you motorcycle. :kiss:
If you ever have an inkling to ride these wonderful western VA and WV mountain roads please 'pm' me or announce it here and I'll be there. Just need a week's notic to beg with my wife for the day away. I ride these roads alot by myself but they're more fun with someone to share it with. :cheers:
hey von...
didn't announce it, it was kind of a last minute decision trip... next time i know i'm heading down there i'll def post it up. would be nice to have someone else up there with ya.
Nice picture, you've got a good eye for the angles. That goes for the other pictures youv'e posted too. Are you photographer or something?
I just opened the links in your profile and i think i answered my own question :oops: Nice work :thumb:
thanks! i went to school for photography, but ended up liking computer design better.
it's a little embarrassing, but i just realized that i ripped myself off! that pic is almost exactly the same as this previous one i shot and posted. :oops:
