I thought we gave you good directions. Where did you get lost at?
Hey Mel what are the links to where you got the stuff for the camera? |

I enjoyed it too ya'll! Thanks for coming out to play in my neighborhood.
I'm beat, don't know why? Must have been the sausage parm for late lunch. The nappytime feeling never wore off.
I might be up for the OBX thing. I'll know better when it gets closer.
Matt, sorry about your "get-off", or wetness avoidance maneuver. I should have slowed the group well before that section. I've been through there more times than I can count, and I always go slow. I guess I got used to slowing at the last minute, and didn't think about you guys hanging back a bit. Sorry man. I did learn from it though, as I hope everyone else did too. I'm glad you weren't hurt, and didn't take your bike for a swim!

if i knew where i got lost at, then i wouldn't have been lost. i ended up on 27th street. i made it to 664 form there, then to 164, and safely home.
it's all good. |

Matt
sounds like you got off on te hampton roads parkway and worked your way into Newport News. But that's just a guess from someone who lives on the Southide.
Tank, Goody, Mel, 2 Matts and the rest
Good times were had, we all got home and Tank I will always make the 50 mile ride to go and play in your neighborhood.
What does everybody thin of this ride
Check out this ride. The starting point is the Hardees in Hayes at the intersection of Guinea Road.
- Travel North on 17 to Ordinary about 2 miles. You will be turning LEFT onto Providence Road for about 3.5 miles. This road gets you off of 17 on your way to Hickory fork road with some nice turns. First mile or so watch your speed. You come to a stop sign after about 2.25 miles. Bear right here and the next mile or so has some nice turns ending in a 90 degree near the intersection of Hickory Fork Road.
-Turn LEFT on to Hickory Fork Road stay on Hickory Fork Road for about 8 miles. This road is in good condition with some sweepers, a S just before Sassafras and some good turns towards Pinetta except for for the road surface in that area. After you go through the dip, up the Hill past the church on right be prepared to turn left onto Old Pinette Road. This is a loop of about two miles here with some grin inducing turns.
- Turn LEFTonto Old Pinetta Road continuing about a mile, mile and half. Never had the Buffalo leave the field, yet.
This road dead ends on Ark Road.
- TurnLEFT onto Ark Road(606) travel about a mile until you intersect Hickory Fork Road again.
-Turn LEFT onto Hickory Fork Road head to Signpine. Go through the Dip again continue past Old Pinetta to Davenport Road about 3.75 miles.
-Turn RIGHT onto Davenport Road until you intersect Route 17 this should be about 3.5 miles.
- Turn Left on Route 17 (north) until you get to Adner just short of 2 miles. The LEO's like to set in the median of this section.
- Turn LEFT onto Route 14 proceed to Plain View should be about 2.3 miles. Your next turn will be in the middle of a right hand sweeper.
-Turn LEFT onto Plain View Lane. Travel about .25 miles and the road hangs a sharp right. Travel down this road just short of three miles. Caution road surface fair and some sand/gravel can be present.
-Turn LEFT onto York River Road. travel this road until you intersect with Route 33 at Snowhill about 4.8 miles.
- Turn RIGHT onto Route 33 heading east for just over a mile.
- Turn LEFT onto Route 14 "The Trail" and proceed north to St. Stephens Church on Route 360 about 30 miles. The bottom section of this road is just a connector, once thru the K&Q Court House the road begins. Continue toward 360 you will find some excellent turns, there is a right hander that is decreasing radius, several location that always has gravel. They are; Cumnor in the southbound direction; Stevensville in the center of the southern most turn, south bound in the northern most turn, between these two turns is a nice de-wieght easy to float the front tyre; further north where Walkerton Road comes in on the left in a sharp right hander sand/gravel maybe present. When you get to 360 there is a little store to get drinks and snacks.
- Turn around and go back down Route 14this time turning off before you get back to Route 33. About 1 to 1.5 miles short of Route 33 is Elsom mascot Road.
- Turn LEFT onto Elsom Mascot Road for about 2 miles.
- Turn RIGHT onto New Hope Road for about 4 or 4.5 miles. It will dead end onto Route 33 at a Church. This road is in fair shape with various types of surfaces. Also has several 90 degree turns.
- Turn Left onto Route 33 towards Glenns and Route 17 intersection. Cross Route 17 at Glenns and the Road becomes 198. Continue on this for about 12 miles maybe a little less. When 198 meets 601 you will have to stop and turn left. continue on until you come to Figg Shop Road. It will be past Harcum/ Route 606.
- Turn RIGHT onto Figg Shop Road that will merge with Indian Road kind hard to notice and continue onto Route 14/3 at WAN. This road has a blind left hander near the end.
- Turn RIGHT onto Route 14/3 headed toward Gloucester CourtHouse about 1.5 miles.
- Turn Left at light onto Bus 17 for about a mile.
- Turn LEFT onto TC WALKER Road proceed for about 2.5 to 3 miles.
- Turn LEFTonto Paige Road until you get to Feather Bed Road.
- Turn RIGHT onto Feather Bed Road proceed until you intersect Route 17 another mile or so.
- Turn Left onto Route 17 and proceed south towards the Coleman Bridge. Or you can go about 2 miles and hang a left onto Brays Point Road at the Exxon.
* Turn Left onto Brays Point Road go about .5 miles and follow the road to the right about 1.5 miles.
* Turn RIGHT onto Low Ground Road until you get to Route 216 (Guinea Road) here the road dead ends.
* Turn Right onto Guinea Road Route 216proceed to Route 17.
* Turn LEFT onto Route 17 and proceed south towards the Coleman Bridge.
These are at best Map Quest Distances and in the worse case is my guess at distance. Have reviewed these until I had both pair of my glasses on and believe it to be correct. As noted above I used Map Quest so all locations named with be in it's data base for review and approval.

Sounds very familiar, Mike. I remember seeing that post a few pages back in the archives.
The Gloucester part is very close to the route we took when we went up there. But instead of heading up 14, we went through West Point and back through the Burg'. Wasn't that the same ride that your header came loose, the S2 and Busa were there, and we hit the Parkway, then Redline, and ate at the Cactus??(or does my memory just suck) |

sounds like i didn't know where i was and it was dark, too.
as for the ride proposed, i think i'd be too involved reading the directions to thoroughly enjoy, or vice versa.
but i'll be right on your six if you lead the way! friday after-noon or maybe sat morn? |

Tank and Matt
I cut and pasted that old ride from the previous post. But if it can be loaded into a gps all we need is a leader. It does sound like the ride that initiated the tool kit. |

It shouldn't take but maybe 30min to plot the course on the computer and transfer to the gps.
Don't know if I can make it though. My trip is coming up quick, got lots to do, and I'm running short on weekends.
If I can get the wheels off the DR, and get them to Redline after work this week, then I'm in for Saturday. |

I should be picking the Duc up from Redline Saturday so if we can get an agreeable time I'll take it on the ride.
Just a thought for everyone else this coming sunday is the third and if the weather is warm Poe's might be rocking. I,m up for both rides. Sux bring single |

the wifey wants to ride with me on saturday
it'd be better for me if we met up not too terribly early so we can ditch the young'ins deep in the woods, Hansel & Grettle style. |

Hey Mike....
That route takes you up to Stevensville. You remember, that was Dave's & Kevin's first ride out with us. Our Polar Bear Run.

Matt, once we get done with the Blast, I dont think hanging with the V-twins will be like it once was. Especially with a big-bore kit, exhaust and jet kit. We'll wake her up reeeeeeeeal nice. Gotta let her breathe. Goody |

This is what I do for fun other than riding the blast

Right now I took the car off the road to rebuild. I've got 3-4K invested in the suspension alone. Planning on hitting up VIR and some drift and drag events next year
BTW projected HP is 700 at the crank. Can't wait to finish.

Tell you what... I took the Scg in to get a new rear put on it. I had the chance to sit on the XB12XT... I like it.... I really really like it!
You guys don't mind riding with a "mini" Uly do ya? Complete with all the bags! |

You ride like you're on a Bagger anyway, so why would the bike matter. JFWU (just f--king with you)
It's a nice bike and a lot more CAMERA friendly

Nuthin' wrong with Uly. There was a dude at Deals Gap that had his suspension lowered and set up professionally by (enter name of reputable company here). It was low, it was very nicely done, and he was a-lot faster than me on that thing. He's a member here, but I have "CRS".
I can only imagine it is a-lot like the mini Uly. |
