You can order the maps at www.transamtrail.com . I have ridden the route, plan on 8-10 hours going to Batesville. We spent the night in Grenada and returned via a route put together by a friend. Nice ride overall.

this pic just gives me the willies..if they just happen to get T boned, wonder if they will come out of their shoes?

Who wants to go do some dual-sport riding out to my dad's farm? He sent me this pick he took while out clearing some trails and fire roads...

It could handle it. It is mostly gravel and some dirt roads. One small section that you could consider off road, but if dry, the beemer would make it fine.

With what we've already seen the Beemer do, it should be nothing for you!!

Wolfy, the MHCT has no section as rough as some of the places you took that airhead a few weeks ago. It is maintainedish gravel/dirt roads. Nothing too bad, as long as you're not running 50 into a blind curve with a deep rut running across it. My shoulder hurt for a few hours after that one. Luckily, DesotoHomo was only running about 2 MPH when he hit it.

Actually the hardest riding of that trip was the gravel roads.....

I'm in a holding pattern until my new tires get here.

Is everyone planning to attend the tech day? I'm about to go bump it to the top.
