Default Hello from Cincinnati, OH

Hey everybody,, Ride a 14 SGS and it’s the first bike I’ve owned in about 30 years. Been enjoying getting back out on the open. Came here for tips and info pertaining to riding as well as the ride. Haven’t done much long distance riding, did ride down to Gatinburg and did as many roads as I could in a few days including dragon. Not a super fan of the Highway, so long trips haven’t been priority but lots of all day rides out and back in the 3 years I’ve had the bike. Thinking of riding down to Tybee Island in GA for a week here in a month or so. Back roads makes it about a 14-15 hour ride, so yeah it adds about 4-5 hours but think I’m going to go for it weather permitting. Was planning on a few key tools , an extra set of plugs but not much more as far as that sorta thing. Oh and rain gear. Nice to be here.
