    Looking for route options from Niagara Falls Canada to Pigeon Forge. The last time we toured down (for the Honda Hoot a few years back) we followed 219 (from just outside Buffalo) pretty much all the way. Round trip we are looking at about 7 days (to bad the Gap is outa commission, got my fingers crossed it will be clear by the second week in June..I hope). We are more interested in the sight seeing/twisty kinda routes than burning up the interstates(we tend to save that for the trip home). Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    Just picked up (about a month ago) an 05 Midnight RSV and am LOVING IT!. My first bike was a Yamaha Roadstar Silverado. I bought it about 4 years ago and put on about 35000KM. Took a RSV out on a test ride at Americade last year and got the bug. In the last two weeks or so it has started to back fire when down shifting and when starting cold the choke doesn't always "catch". I have to rev the throttle a little for the choke to catch. I am thinking I need to get the carbs synced but not sure. There is also a gasoline smell when I shut her down or go to start her up....

    I had stock Dunlop/OEM tires on my 2002 Roadstar when I bought used 4 years ago. Put 880's on in the fall of 2007 and it made a HUGE difference. Had no problems with them. Much more stable in the corners and rain. You need to be really anal though on the pressure. That could be why some fall apart. Just bought a 2005 Midnight RSV and LOVE IT!!! It has Dunlop 404's on it (about 6000KM). Looking to change them next spring. Anyone tried the new Micheline Commander tires? I'd like to put some whitewalls on but the Elite 3's don't seem to have white walls as an option...
