I know Brant ..just funnin with ya...i maybe in Tucson around the same time as XSeast tho...were looking to relocate..i need a desert climate for health reasons ...

[motoman]

Yea...right. Doubtful that'll ever happen. After my 40mph T-bone crash last summer on my STeed, was told by surgeons, so much as a trip'n'fall has a 98% percent chance of permanent wheel chair ride as it can't be fixed again.
Though I still have the bought new immaculate Venturer, still bike-covered in garage.......me thinks a good location for it.......well, unless I opt for an unwise decision.
As for the distance your talkin' about.......makes for a nice leasurly day ride.........again, get'r done my friend.

I’ll open the XS East 2017 thread with my proposal. After enjoying riding the Tail of the Dragon at XSSouth, I came across The Back of the Dragon, VA-16 in southern Virginia. We could run from Marion VA up to Twin Falls Resort State Park near Pineville where we held our 2006 rally. I already reserved a block of 20 rooms at Twin Falls in case we want to go with this. They’d be $87 a night and the lodge includes a dining facility. There’s a lot of good riding in this area.

The FJR group ran out of Wytheville this past year though I don’t know what routes they ran.
