Hello all, excellent site! I just picked up a used 06 VFR w/1200 miles. Going on a trip to the Blue Ridge in May, leaving from Chicago. First day about 600 miles, should be the tough one. I did 300 today about 200 in the rain:frown: This is the bike I should have bought TWO bikes ago! Any advice on the trip? easy luggage? throttle locks etc seat issues??
Givi V35 Hard Bags Throttle Meister Sergant World Sport Seat Wear good protection, no skin below the chin. I recommend wearing a one piece over suit. Bring a fold up rain suit. Wear a good boot that you can also walk around in. I can give a hearty recommendation for the Sidi Canyon. Bring sunglasses that fit under your helmet, not a tinted face shield. WEAR EAR PLUGS!!! Trust me on this one. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Have fun. KC-10 FE out... lane: :usa2:
What part of the Blueridge do you plan to hit? If the southern part, let me know!!! If you are down here on a weekend, and we can put it together, lunch is on me. As far as the weather goes, down here, you can see all 4 seasons in a single day. Be ready for anything. 600 miles in one day is a full day of riding, but is very doable.
search for a thread asking a similar question answered by sloav8r... I think he covered most everything... I think if you search forums with 'long trip advice' you'll find it...
