- August 07, 2014, 20:16:41 PMQuote from: Troll on August 07, 2014, 18:34:38 PMI'm organizing a ride to the Dragon for Wed. morning. I have been corresponding with WolfChief, and he suggested adding a loop for the trip back...Here's the map I created based on his suggestions...Sooooo right now, there are 7 going, anybody else?
This is a great loop to ride also ..19 to 28 to 129 to parkway foothills then 321 to wears valley rd (cades cove) to 441 thru pigeon forge, Gatlinburg to Cherokee to MV about 190 miles...

- August 07, 2014, 19:56:58 PMQuote from: Troll on August 07, 2014, 11:21:02 AMGood lord...and DKTime tells ME that I pack too muchSooooo, I'm getting things sorted for the trip, and I'm thinking about what kind of tools, if any, and spares to bring. I don't have the factory tool kit, and the one for the W doesn't have enough of the correct sizes to be of any use. I've decided to bring a test light, electrical tape screwdriver set, a long 5mm Allen wrench, so I can pop off my windshield, and, and a few sockets in appropriate sizes, tire pressure gauge, tread depth gauge, inspection mirror so I can check the oil (don't need to bring extra oil, it's not my Harley)...wait, how old are the bulbs?
As far as I know, the bulbs, except for the license lamp are all original...I have some left over stuff from all my H-Ds...no way I could have ridden one of those without replacing the headlight at least once...so 1 spare 2057 for the tail light, 1 194 for the license lamp, and one spare H-4 55/60 for the headlight...I'm not going to bother with the turn signal bulbs, since you can always hand signal....What are you guys bringing???
..........smh...LOL

As far as I know, nobody has backed out, yet. I'm figuring we should leave by 09:00, so we have enough time to do it twice and have lunch, and maybe hit the museum that afternoon...or maybe the museum on Thurs. morning...

- August 06, 2014, 11:55:19 AMTuesday and I will be leaving in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. When I told her we would be leaving at 3am, she balked at that quite a bit, and is pushing to leave later. My thing is I don't want to roll in to MV later than 5 or 6pm. I need time to stop for rest breaks, fuel, food, and maybe a quick nap.
