XS East 14

Hi Marty,
Let 'em sweat like you used to do to me.
It's amazing how far even a special will go when there is no gas station.
With a few extra cans we can rescue any who really do run out.

Now that you have that supertanker Phil..you arent the one doing the sweating anymore...Its nice to have the tank range that allows you to ride 250+ miles before stopping for gas...nearly as good as my ST1100's miles per tank (280-300)...

hi BNE,
HowIi wish i could do 250 miles. Even with the big tank I only manage 150 miles 250Km. But then I am never in economy mode. Either chasing you and others through the twisties or hauling my fat arse and luggage down the interstate in a big rush.

sorry Phil those numbers are more from the ST1100...your mileage isnt any better than mine (comparing your XS to mine) but you should have a greater range...I go on reserve at about 140 miles how much further than that i could go has not yet been established with me on Swampygirl. Typically 150 miles to fill up...so that averages out to 30 miles per gal...thats a little on the low side...but I'm never in economy mode either...

Ok.... I got to ask this..... is one of our lunch stops at the Cow Shed?

Or are we going to make it over to New Martinsville?

Lunch stops

Not this year, both are too far away. Perhaps next year we can do another SE OH or a NW WV and hit that New Martinsville restaurant again.

Our lunch stops will be somewhat conventional this time.

One of the lunch stops will probably be the same restaurant in Marlinton that we stopped at in 2011 on Darrell's great rally - Greenbrier I think it was. We will be approaching it from another direction of course.

The other day's lunch stop will be near an I-79 exit, there are a couple of restaurants in a small plaza-like area. Looks to be Bob Evans, Ponderosa, Chinese; also, close by is a Hardee's and Burger King.

I have the New River Gorge on one route, and one of the pull-offs on that Highland Scenic Road (150) for a photo shoot on another route.

These are still preliminary, the routes are not finalized. Work continues to interfere with my fun time....

[madmax-im]

I remember the Greenbrier...It was right on the river...food was good but service was slow...but it was a very comfortable place to stop and eat

[Huron52]

Service does tend to get slow when a lot of people show up at once. You can always take that time and feed the birds in the river.
Then, there is a sandwich place just down the street or at least it was there last July when we were there last. I might try it. You know just for a change

[madmax-im]

The place was busy before we even arrived....sat there and watched people float downriver...I might try the sandwich place too...

Any Specials coming to XS East?

Me and my wife will be there on my 79. I think I can only come on the sunday ride because we will be coming back from myrtle beach on Saturday unless we leave a day early.

I'm looking forward to this. If I can get the 78E running I may bring that.
