  • There are a ton of great roads in the South West area of Virginia, the Beast of the East is a loop where I linked several of them together into one ride. I designed it to be doable in one day relatively easily, but you'll still be worn out by the end.
    The inaugural run took 7 1/2 hours as we took our time and made route edits along the way.

    Thx, I love these rides, your bike is definitely more exciting to watch than you buddies.

      Thnx. Each of our footage was pretty "ok" by themselves but when I put footage of what was happening at the same time on top of each other...the contrast was kind of interesting.
      The first thing he did when we got back was order new mufflers!

    Tons o’ fun, ‘eh?
    Man, I’d love to have joined you on this ride!
    That Continental GT of yours seems like a very fine bike.
    I’d be doing the ride on my KLR 650, or the new ‘24 Triumph Scrambler 1200xe.
    Happy Trails!

    Glad you tried Burkes garden, if you still had your Himalayan, there a back way out that goes to route 42. All gravel.

      @UncleVoodoo  5 місяців тому +1

      I saw that when I was mapping out the ride, Im hoping to add a Classic 350 to the lineup and set it up for gravel so I can hit roads like that too.

    For supermeteor 650 he has to change rear suspension with Hagon suspension for smoother ride.

    "All American roads are straight, and boring"....Yeah, right !....I gotta say, I preferred the "calmer" pace aboard the meteor....I can do without the Adrenaline Rush, these days...lol
