Today I did what you're suppose to do with an ADV bike... I rode it to the bank to make a deposit for the wife. Happy wife, I took the long way home. Lake Lola. Tigers and Gaters don't get along, so I kept my distance. Nursery Hill. 243ft above seal level. I felt a little dizzy. The highest point in all of Florida is 345ft. Glad the bike has FI. Yes, I went beyond Starbucks. Withlacoochee State Forrest. Wet Sand = hero traction, even on 90/10 Pirelli streetish tires. I do have new TKC80s to mount, but ride or work on the bike today? Easy choice... A lot of the trails are covered by a canopy of trees. Very lush. Some of the trails we're pretty slick from last night's rain. Enother dead end trail at the Withlacoochee River. TKC80s would have helped a bit, but I mananged. An open, dry meadow along the way. The 4X4 trucks had been in some areas, tearing the sheet out of the trail. Some sections made for interesting line choices. A nice 3 - 4 hour ride, just seeing what there is to see, with no particular destination or schedule. The more I ride my Tiger, the more I like it.

at least the cylinders are out of the 'shin buster' zone if you need to put your foot down in a hurry. Looks like fun.

Those aren't the Hepco & Becker Side Carriers that Black Dog had us send you on their behalf?? I didn't think we had sent the actual tank guard yet!

Only a week and a half away. Who's coming? Camel ADV Products will be set-up with AlyxMoto again this year, come over and say hello!

Enthralled and waiting for the rest of the story. Thank you for sharing.

I'd like to hear it!

For sure not a Beemer guy... But I like it!!!

A planned meet sounds like a great idea to me! I'll be riding in, but crashing in my buddies toy hauler/trailer thing. Maybe we'll be close by. I should be there bright and early as well. Only a 3 hour ride for me. However I may take the more adventurous route and add some time.

I haven't paid yet but I'll be there. I have the time off. I should be there by noon on Thursday. If you guys see the trailer I posted pulled by a silver F350 come by for a beer or maybe we should plan something such as Thurs night BS session?
