Ride Report: 404 miles on a DR650SE out and back to the Maryland panhandle with the best of friends.

The original plan had been to lead Duncan and Bruce down to the area where I had accompanied Wayne, of America Rides Maps, as he scouted routes for his new Virginia and West Virginia maps.

I was trying to type up a long and detailed report of the ride that Yermo(https://adv-traveler.com/yermo) and I went on this past weekend, but the post was eaten by a Grue. So here's the short version. LPR->SGLLPR In the MSF BRC they teach you that turning is as simple as "Look Press Roll". In Yermo training you learn that it's more like: Shift- make sure you're in the right gear Grip- the tank with your legs Look- through the turn Lean- over the bars, bringing your elbow down toward your knee (which is gripping the tank) Press- sort of happens naturally when you look and lean Roll- on the throttle all the way through the turn It was also a weekend of firsts. First overnight motorcycle trip. First time riding in the rain. First time riding on the interstate. First time riding in stop and go traffic. First time riding at night. First time riding in the front. First time dropping the bike at speed. First time doing road-side engine repair and an oil change. Yea, there's a much longer story to go along with those last two. Essentially, I learned that I'm comfortable on pavement but I need more experience with gravel. All things considered, I'm glad it happened.
