I've got the Road 5s on mine, rear is almost done at 6400 miles.... IDK what kind of riding these people who get 15K miles out of them do, but they can't be having any fun with this bike.... Even still, I can get the Road 5 rear for roughly 60-80USD more than a standard sport bike tire (Bridgestone Battleaxe for example) and double the mileage. Might still be a winner in my book. I have ZERO complaints about the tire other than figuring out the longevity of them. I've crossed rivers, ran through countless miles of mud and gravel with them, and put them into a hell of a lot of good curves with no issues.

Just got back from the dragon last night! 350 is mile day yesterday... Saw a handful of FJs on the Cherohala, Dragon, and down into Suches Saturday and Sunday!

Welcome! You'll love this bike, and especially in your area! I'm a bit west over in Nashville but riding out to Tellico this weekend to wear out my tires 😂

These lights are BIG TIME with the BMW GS guys/gals, they don't shut up about them! A good set of lights are definitely worth the money if you do a lot of night time riding, especially on dark back roads! I've got some Cyclops spot/floods I need to get mounted and wired up still but looking forward to the dimmer I have with them as well. Low beams are adjustable from 0-100% and high beams go 100%... should change them game!

Yes!! Old 85 is one of my all time favorite hidden roads! We need to meet up and ride together sometime! Standing Stone is really awesome to ride to. Here's just below the damn on 136!

You'll wanna get one of these: Southern Appalachia G1 Map 2nd Edition (AL, TN, NC, SC, GA) – Butler Motorcycle Maps WWW.BUTLERMAPS.COM And Look for one of these maps, they should be free all over...

Glad to be of assistance! They are seriously good roads! Where are you located? Moved to Knoxville? Cool man, I'm a little jealous at the easy access you've got to excellent roads now! I'll be out that way next weekend if the weather is good! Got a friend with a place in Tellico Plains! You'll also want to get out a loop called the Devil's triangle, if you haven't heard of it. TN-116, 330, 62 through Frozen Head State park near the old Brushy Mountain State Prison

Oh nice, I ride down that way every now and then with some of my riding buddies!

Where abouts?

Also if you are zooming into to the Leg 2 map and wondering why in the hell did he go around maybe the best switch backs in the country on TN-85... we got a lot of rain in February this year and the roads have washed out so bad that they're closed for repairs until November! 😢 Edit: The detour wasn't so bad though... a long gravel road that led to a pretty cool road was a nice discovery!

Thanks! I really like the look of the clear powder coated steel! I also spent a lot of time staring at maps all round my parents land to discover awesome roads and how in the hell to loop them all together, and boy they do not disappoint!!

Also just rolled over 9K miles this trip!

Brilliant roads... this is TN-85!

Since moving to Nashville about 6 years ago, I searched high and low to find a group of riders (read misfits) that shared similar riding styles, mannerisms, and a desire to be a club but not a club. A non-club club as I've always called it! PseudoMoto is just that. Always welcoming of new people, all types of bikes, and sharing their wealth of knowledge helping each other work on all breeds of motorbikes. Anyway, a few years ago we started hosting everyone out to camp on my parents land (70 acres literally in the middle of nowhere) where we've built up a brilliant campsite over the years! We burn lots of wood, drink lots of beer and whiskey, crack jokes about one another's past mishaps, and enjoy being in the wilderness! Having 70 mostly wooded acres, we always encourage our friends to bring dirt bikes to screw around on for some more off road entertainment with some pretty fun hill climbs on the property! I covered a bit over 500 miles this past weekend of really fantastic curvy roads with almost zero traffic! It really is hard not to say that riding in the area is on par or better than riding further east in the Smokeys on the Cherohala Skyway or Tail of the Dragon but it might be. Check out some of the links below for routes I lead about 13 bikes on (open these on a computer only, doesn't work well with mobile) Saturday Ride Leg 1 Saturday Ride Leg 2 Sunday Morning Ride to breakfast and around the reservoir Really have to zoom into some of those roads to see all the good stuff!

Brilliant, Thanks!

Where'd you get the LED Turn signals? I want to get rid of those god awful pumpkins!

Honestly don't know how you stopped riding that road long enough to take a photo! haha!

Puckett's is a pretty well known and loved spot right off the Natchez Trace in Lieper's Fork, TN My FJ front and center...

I haven't been on here as much lately... but came to check in on this thread, see what the challenge is, and give 'er a nice bump!

This is exactly the problem! The oil hasn't warmed up quite enough to flow through the passages when first accelerating in cooler weather. I've had it happen just a couple times right after oil changes but once the oil warms up, I never see it again.

I will be running this on my accessory lights, I will update when I finally get them installed!

I have mostly Revit gear now as well... and looking to replace my summer gloves VERY soon. Interested in the feedback!

Guess I'll have to make more trips out to the mountains!
