Looks like Sunday going to be last decent day to ride for a while.  Anyone up for some DS fun?  Maybe Bankhead?

A few of us are meeting up at Hytop in Jackson County Sunday to ride some Skyline WMA roads.

Just FYI, we're not sure exactly what we're getting into on this ride. Probably okay for any DS bike, but we're going to do a couple of roads for the first time and don't know how technical they are, so we'll be on smaller bikes - TW200 and WR250R. What will you be riding?

You'll likely be fine, just wanted to let you know we'll be doing some stuff we're not sure about.

Great ride Sunday with Bill, Daniel and Clay in Skyline WMA! And we only scratched the surface of what's up there.

Here are a couple of miles of the 25 or so on dirt tracks we did today...

Are those roads open year round or just for hunting season?

Was up there last weekend.  Did you happen to find any motorcycle parts?  I lost a fender somewhere...


I should have checked this earlier.

Great videos. And coming from a red neck country music bar player, I love the music!
