Was able to get to the Barber Museum in October...it was almost Overwhelming, so many bikes, so diverse. It wasn't planned, but I was lucky enough to get there for a Vintage weekend event. They had a ton of old bikes racing and just riding around the park. Plus they opened the lower floor of the museum (where they restore/refurb) for the event. Fun Fact: Vincent (maker of the Black Shadow) made some lawn mowers to supplement their income due to poor sales of their motorcycles... Not able to get to Wheels Through Time - the hurricane just hit and the Asheville area was still devastated, didn't want to go in and take hotel space from displaced people and recovery workers...so we passed on going there. BUT, it's still on my bucket list.

Adventure Smeghead came to San Diego
J5ive replied to AdventureSmeghead's topic in New Member Introductions
Welcome Jaro, I'm new to ADV riding, I joined this site and have met a lot of new people and have made some good friends. I think you'll find people here are welcoming and very helpful. I'm sure very quickly, you'll find people to ride with. They'll show you all the cool places... Every so often, they have some type of NOOB (new person) event/meet up (Tech Day, NOOB Ride, Overnight camp) so you can get to know people and put a face with the name. Hopefully, they'll have something soon. -
@padu - Congratulations... Good for you. I've used the school 3 times, Edgar was my instructor each time. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Wish I would have seen this yesterday... I've been wanting to go to Pappy & Harriet's. Maybe I'll catch you on the next one. -
Hey Pokey151 - Everyone should have a Harley or two in their stable for the long rides.

I like the Gore-Tex stuff I have. Jacket, pants, boots and some gloves. I also have some non-GoreTex stuff, it also works for me. Some say it’s too hot, but they may run hotter them me. I’m new to the ADV world, so I wanted to try Gore-Tex and other “Stay Dry” gear. Being new, I wanted to see about this “All in One” aspect to gear. It seemed to make sense in a motorcycle Traveling/Packing world. I went for top names because I didn’t want to buy twice. So far, things worked as advertised. Keep in mind, I’m coming from the Harley (old school) world. My leather Jacket 9-10 lbs, chaps 2-3 lbs, boots 5 lbs., then you pack a rain suite – so you can see why the lightweight, all in one gear was attractive to me. Riding in the leather gear isn’t bad, it was the packing it on the bike when not using it was the challenge. Durability is outstanding, 25+ years on the Jacket…just mink oil and leather conditioner a couple times a year. The ROI is outstanding… Now, my new goal/sights are set on Lightweight, warm and stay dry gear. I don’t care if it’s Gore-Tex, Drystar, whatever as long as it keeps me dry and warm. Hopefully some gear will transfer to my HD No problem with layering if its lightweight. Example, on a suggestion from @Zubb, I bought a Marrakesh Jacket. I have a light puffer jacket and a rain/windbreaker, I’m going to use with it.

Second Annual Noob Overnight Dual Sport Camping Trip: Nov 4-5
J5ive replied to tntmo's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
Hey @Goofy Footer, yes I'm back to riding. I'd do the Noob Camp in a heartbeat, I had a blast last year, plus learned a few things. However, I've been invited to the Honda (Geico) Adventure Rally with @moto_rph, @shutterrev, @Hawkins. Thought I'd give it a look see... Curious to see if it's anything like some of the Harley rally's I've been to (minus the pavement vs dirt thing), the off bike activities...
