Any water crossings?

If we ride up into southern middle Tennessee, YEP....If we do a "dead-end" tour of Bankhead, nope.

What kind of riding is this gentlemen? I have a  V Strom 1000 that is just for road use and a WR426 that is street legal but not very fun over 60/on highways. I am in Scottsboro so that is an easy hour an a half on the Strom but it would be a bit different on the WR.

I'll be on a 86 Honda 250. Top speed with me on it is 60.  I'll be hauling the bike to the start point.

There may be some mud and maybe some water crossings, depending on which way Al goes.

Big bike friendly. Al usually rides 2-up on a worn-out KLR650 and does just fine. Having a semi-knobbie tire will help, but not necessary if you ride conservatively.

If I can talk someone into buying my Vulcan so that I can buy a KLR, I might make it...

I am thinking I will try to make it if I still have my WR by then. I just put it up for sale ($2,300 if you want it)

Anyone coming from near Scottsboro? I don't have a truck.

If I sell the WR, there isn't much I can do as the V Strom is all street, no dirt. If I ride the WR, it would be nice to trailer it. Also, it will just be day trip rides right? The WR can't carry anything for overnight (again why i want to trailer.)

Thanks guys.

Yes, for this ride we typically camp at Al's place and ride during the day getting lunch somewhere along the route. We return to camp to cook dinner and watch a movie or football!

I'm in Paint Rock Valley. I plan to haul my bike over on Saturday morning and come back on Saturday afternoon/evening. You're welcome to ride with me if you want.

Count me as tentative. If I can get off work that Friday I should be able to make it. Assuming you got parking space?  I'd most likely bring my DR 350 up in the back of the pickup as opposed to riding the 1190.
