Cove Rally, September 14-16

[TWJohn]

I might like to do a street ride.

[Frank Smith]

Anyone coming who is planning on going on the street ride?

I want to do a little of both because it's more than a one day event. I definitely want to do a street ride if you're leading it.

Probably be up for a street ride.  I can firm it up when it gets a little closer. Got some construction going on around the house so may not be free. But as of right now should be good to go.

I think both rides are on Saturday with camping and hanging out Friday and Saturday night.  That doesn't mean there can't be a ride on Sunday as well but someone would have to plan that.

I'm going try hard to make this. I haven't been to an MC-AL event in a while and I miss it. I've been out of town a lot recently so I have to figure out how to make it happen. Life/family/work/play must all stay in balance.

What kind of dirt mileage are we talking about doing? Specifically, how much blacktop? I have a choice of Beta 300 or KTM 500. I'm assuming the 500 is the better bike for this, correct?

 What Mulley said/\ except I can not ride as good...on-road or off.  ;)

So my question is, is the off-road ride friendly enough for a moaron on a ADVi(ish) bike or is it a dirtbike dirt ride? :D

Not looking good for me! The family has decided to come visit that weekend!

Maybe I can convince my dad to bring his DRZ, I doubt it as you can't pry him away from his grandbaby!!!!

Currently the calendar shows me off that weekend, so it looks good for Lynn and I.

We are out. A good friend is having a birthday ending in a zero the same weekend.

Big dual sports are ok if rider is decent. Adv bikes don't have the ground clearance needed for this route. There's about 80 miles of pavement in the route depending on options. Most of it's two lane roads but there is one small section of 4 lane for a couple of miles. 

Frank,
Saturday evening would probably be better for the food as we'll probably have some hungry riders that aren't camping but may hang around for dinner and a campfire.

Ok, I'll ride while meat is smoking, then go home and bring it back afterwards.

If it doesn't rain I'm gonna slap another trials tire on for this one... Haven't done that in a while!

[Mulley]

I've got a fresh Sedona 907. It's only got a half day of Colorado single track on it. It's such a good dualsport tire.

I may leave the half worn 907 in there, if I get lazy. It is a great ds tire, worked great in North Georgia with James n his buddies.

[renchinrider]

I'll be up at Sturgis mingling with the Motorcycle Cannonball riders that weekend.  But we're making tentative~firm plans to participate in Al's Nowhere to Be and All Day to Get There rally in October, so hope to see most/all of you there!
