No way, man. My GF is cool as ****. She mentioned it once and I did not hear about it again the rest of the trip. Her main concern was finding a bar in the mountains so we could watch the NHL playoffs at each stop. She is a keeper

Enjoy the trip man, looking forward to the road report...

I'm headed out for a quick overnighter this weekend up beyond whistler/Pemberton area.

If people are interested in recommendations for mattress this one is really great, packs small and super comfy

My motorcycle camping trips have been great! I could go for weeks . . . if only I could escape the job for that long!

Have a great trip!

Well an update so far we have traveled roughly 500 miles in 2 days we took 33 south until we got to 77 west and then got off on state route 60 in westvirginia it was a blast to ride. Then we made a mistake HAVE A BEER THEY SAID. Lol the group of 8 of us went to the gas station and went through 3 18 packs of beer then had to get 3 12 packs because they were out of 18s. And then walked to the bar and continued to tie one on until 5 am. So today we were all a little slow getting on the rode but still made it to the start of skyline dr in Virginia we are taking it all the ya through the blue ridge parkway in the morning to Maggie valley Tennessee. We had 2 mishaps so far this morning I dropped the bike on a turn from a stop sign because I looked both ways and a car came out of the tunnel and if I didn't lay it down to stop right there I would have been t boned. But no harm a few scratches on the engine guard and some hurt pride. We continued on. Then heading to bed for the night another one of our guys was stopping on an incline and his footing wasn't the greatest so it got dropped too. Again a few minor scratches and day went on. No one got hurt so we will continue keepin on sorry for e long post but I thought I'd give everyone a start of our trip.
