NateI decided to do the Distinguished Gentlemen's ride this year in Cleveland. Money raised goes towards men's mental health and prostate cancer treatment and prevention. I and my '79 Yamaha will be there in my best tweed along with a few dozen other riders, all on classic or classically-styled motorcycles, scooters and sidecar rigs. Beard and/or mustache wax may be applied in lieu of the normal mixture of motor oil and exhaust fumes.<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/motorcycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorcycling</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/charityride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#charityride</a> <a href="https://gfolk.me/NathanFisher628943" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gfolk.me/NathanFisher628943</a>

NateI have a nine day long break coming up at the end of April / bringing of May. Going to take the motorcycle out on a 1500 mile loop through Appalachia, calling asking the way and hoping to hit some of the famous mountain roads in Tennessee and North Carolina. Getting excited planning this trip. Tentative itinerary: Day 1: leave from Northeast Ohio, make camp in Point Pleasant, WV where I'll visit the Mothman museum. Day 2: Point Pleasant to a campground on the banks of the Red River in the Red River Gorge area. Ride through Nada tunnel and tour the gorge. Day 3: across Kentucky and ride the Kentucky Rattlesnake (KY-192) to the KY/TN border. Day 4: head south and catch the Cherohala Skyway into Robbinsville, NC. Possibly run the Tail of the Dragon, depending on arrival time. Day 5: ride the Tail if I didn't get to the previous day. Head east, catch pay off the Blue Ridge Parkway until exciting and riding the Devil's Whip (NC 80).Day 6: slowly explore the Blue Ridge Parkway, making camp somewhere near the North Carolina / Virginia border. Day 7: the Virginia leg of the BRP.Day 8: BRP to Blackwater Falls, WV. Visit several waterfalls in the area for photos and hiking.Day 9: US 250 through Southern Ohio to New Philadelphia and then home.This will be the longest loop I've done on the bike and a great chance to test all the tweaks I've made to the camping setup, as I'll be making and breaking camp every day. Super excited to get out there and explore again. Going to do my best to ignore politics and current events that entire nine days and just recharge. <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/motorcycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorcycling</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MotoCamping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MotoCamping</a>

📡 Daan BergHad a late lesson today, 6pm-7:40pm. Though I was well-rested and the conditions were OK (it was dark, 3 °C and slightly rainy, visibility was good) I wasn't in my element.I think I'm not comfortable in the dark and it messes with my basics, like shoulder checks and keeping/creating distance. I really messed up in those departments a few times today.Learning's not a linear process.

📡 Daan BergI was out on two pretty wheels tonight for two hours from 4:30pm.Fairly unfriendly conditions! 0 °C + fog + dark, about 500m of sight. Quite the eye-opener what such humid coldness does to focus, even with proper winter gear. Now I know better how that affects me and what I need to pay extra attention to if I end up in those conditions again.Not the easiest ride but overall I did okay and learned things :)<a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorcycle</a> <a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/motorcycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorcycling</a> <a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/motorbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorbike</a> <a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/riding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riding</a> <a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/driving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#driving</a> <a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/studentrider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#studentrider</a> <a href="https://bla.daanberg.net/tags/studentdriver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#studentdriver</a>
