ridertorider

words from the publisher

Hello Readers,

Jeff Huggins from Biker Rags in Knoxville, TN had some great tips on planning a great ride route and I thought they were such great suggestions that I asked if I could use Jeff's suggestions in my next letter. He agreed, so here goes. His words reflect similar experiences we have had out riding (ending up on the same rides) and I'm sure many of you will agree.

"Years ago before we opened Biker Rags, Pam and I would get on our bikes to go for a ride but not really have a plan or a route. We would head out into the country, ride awhile and then go back home. Without even thinking about it, we had begun riding the same rides again and again and realized our rides were starting to be dull.

After we opened up Biker Rags, we started having our Fun Runs which meant we had to PLAN a route. We then started using this same process for our personal Day Rides. To plan our Day Rides, we start by getting a map. (In this case the internet or GPS won't do because the idea of a Day Ride is to travel back roads and see places you wouldn't ordinarily go to.) We usually pick some place or small town that we've never been to or haven't been to in awhile. Then while looking at the map, we take the long way or around about way to our destination, riding roads that look interesting or go through interesting places. Once we get to our destination, we usually head downtown and find the courthouse. Almost always, close to the courthouse is a great place to eat. After lunch, we usually walk around a little to see the local sites, and then get back on the bikes and head home a completely different way.

We always preplan these rides by looking at the map, preplanning our entire route and then we write it down on a sticky paper that I can have close by in case I need to check the directions. Take lots of photos and share them on-line."

I hope this inspires you to start planning some great riding routes of your own.

We certainly have an unlimited supply of great riding here in East Tennessee.

Keep Your Knees In The Breeze!

2013 Honda F6B First Ride & Review H

onda asked me to test ride their new F6B and give it a once over and get some feedback from an avid bagger rider. So with that, I arrived at the first dealer that received a shipment, Southern Honda Powersports.

Walking into the dealership and having my expectations in hand, I was bumfuzzled; surprised, shocked, just plain ol’ floored!

The new Honda F6B (Flat-Six Bagger) was right in front of me and I didn’t even recognize it. Pictures of it do not do it justice. The first thing, it is not your daddy’s Goldwing. It has its own new look, lowered, leaner with smooth lines, curved fairing, no tour pak, a shorty windshield and more. I must

10 - Southern Biker Magazine

By The Mag Man, Randy Gracy have walked around it for 20 minutes looking for what they have changed from their Goldwing touring motorcycle. Honda has definitely made a new, bold styling statement with this motorcycle. You might consider it a sport touring bike, but in my opinion, they have began a true direction into the bagger market.

The F6B is powered by the 1832cc flat-Six, a SHOC two-valve-per-cylinder engine that’s fed by electronic fuel injection with twin 40mm throttle bodies. Its horizontally opposed engine aids in keeping the

center of gravity low (which I’ll elaborate on later) and at only 842 pounds, it’s definitely in the weight parameters for a bagger class of motorcycles.

Designed for a run around town and short or long trips, it’s packed with great equipment for all; premium audio system with iPod/MP3 plug in and a multi-information screen that features a clock, trip meter, air temperature gauge and audio controls. The round chrome exhausts are new as is the different lower cowlings, gunfighter-style seat and a new body panel between the tops of the saddlebags. Some of the basic Goldwing options are included, but it’s the new stuff I noticed the most.

After being versed on the F6B, I took my ride around Chattanooga, Tennessee onto some of their great riding back roads and testing it on cornering, speed, quickness, adaptability to the road surface, braking and to see what looks I got while driving through the downtown area. It exceeded all expectations for what I thought it should do or be able to do. There’s nothing like coming out of a drop down S-curve and having it pull out of the hole like a sport bike.

My first stop in town was the Tennessee Aquarium to take some photos for the magazine and I was immediately surrounded by 20 or so people asking questions. After that, I headed onto interstate 26 by way of taking a short 135 degree curved entrance ramp.

I immediately knew I was going too fast to make the turn. I leaned it over further than I ever have any other bike (except a race bike), let off the throttle, it dropped more, got back on the throttle and around the corner and up it came!

It didn’t scrape and I didn’t drop it and at that time my adrenaline was pumping to an all time high. When I looked down to see the speedometer, I was now at 65mph right out of the curve.

2013 Honda F6B First Ride & Review

...continued

The light weight, tremendous suspension and that large power plant engine with 122 foot-pounds of torque output gives this motorcycle definite deceptive speed. When you think you’re doing 50mph, you’re at 75mph.

The speedo registers 150mph. Trust me when I tell you, the needle will swing past that, easy.

The rest of the day was filled with riding and meeting up with some other bagger riding friends. They were impressed with what they saw. Pulling back into the dealership about 6 hours later, I was told they were wondering if I was going to bring it back. To tell you the truth, I forgot I was test riding the F6B about an hour before returning it.

I was out on a great afternoon of riding and having one heck of time on Honda’s newest reinvention.

ENGINE Engine Type Bore And Stroke Induction Ignition

They are making two models that will be available; the standard and the Deluxe. The Deluxe is equipped with a passenger backrest, heated grips, a center stand and self-canceling turn signals. Many extras will be available through Honda like LED fog-lights, a taller windscreen and many chrome accessories. The aftermarket parts for this machine will just go bonkers with everything you can buy from seats to cruising pegs to up-graded sound systems and more.

Now, the only decision left would be; Red......or Black.

The Championship Race is Tightening Up

By Jacob Saylor

T

he 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season is well underway and, as always, the cream rises to the top. Current points leader David Millsaps notched his 2nd win of the season in San Diego and proved his riding is no fluke. Millsaps is riding with confidence and consistency associated with being a champion and after five rounds has an average placing of 2nd place. The unlikely hero of the 2013 season was labeled by former champion Ricky Carmichael as, “the hands down favorite to win the title.”

The battle to chase down Millsaps’s 21 point lead is followed by Ryan Dungey and Ryan Villopoto. The two former champions are separated by only three points and both have wins under their belts this season. The only strategy left for them is to simply win and notch as many points as possible.

The top three call Florida and Georgia home and with the series moving to the rutted East coast, the racing will only intensify.

With great speed comes great responsibility. Eli Tomac’s perfect season came to a halt with a crash in the whoops in Oakland. His mistake resulted in a DNF and a surrender of his points lead. The consistent German Ken Roczen took control of the championship and backed it up with a straight up win at the final stop in Anaheim. Tomac was able to bounce back with win the following weekend in San Diego, but has a large deficit to

16 - Southern Biker Magazine

make up. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Tomac is using his time off in the West to compete in the premier 450 class starting in Atlanta.

Coming off a win at the Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas, Tomac has already proven he will be a contender for the podium and guaranteed to mix it up.

With 11 rounds to go, there are still many questions left to answer. Will David Millsaps have any bad luck?

Will Dungey or Villopto be able to capitalize? When will James Stewart, Chad Reed, and Trey Canard get their first wins of the season?

Robert Finn

Greg McKinney

The McKinn-Finn European Tour

S

omewhere in late April, or early May, my friend Robert Finn asked me if I’d like to go with him on a motorcycle tour in Europe. I had just come back from a three week ride with my wife on our new BMW K1600GTL so I was rather dubious if I’d get another kitchen pass so soon, but this was such a good offer I had to risk it.

Springing the details on my wife, surprisingly she agreed and without even having to offer bribes of any sort. This trip was meant to be!

We made the arrangements and the timeline was July 8-18. The tour company was a company that Robert had been referred to through some of his business connections and the price was right. But then, things went awry. The owner of the tour company, a small family run affair, had to cancel due to an understandable family medical emergency. So now we had kitchen passes, passports, and big plans in hand, but no scooters to get us there.

(Part 1 of 3)

By Greg McKinney

Fortunately, Robert had been to Europe on bike tours before so he was the resident expert at getting things realigned. Although all of his previous trips had been on organized tours he thought we could make it “on our own” with proper preplanning. We did have to adjust our dates a little due to some work conflicts with my job but we pushed ahead and started planning our freestyle European motorcycle tour and even squeezed in two extra days leaving us with 10 days to ride. To say I was nervous would have been an understatement.

The first thing one must do is get a rough idea of where you want to go. Since

I had never been to Europe, I didn’t have a clue. Robert had ridden the Stelvio Pass before and wanted me to experience that. So it went in the trip bucket. Then after some conversations in his garage, and both of us talking to friends and co-workers, the bucket started filling up. Soon we had a sizable bucket list of places we wanted to go. Interlaken, Switzerland; Munich to see the BMW Welt and a factory tour; Berchetsgaden to see the Eagle’s Nest; Grossglockner Pass; Stelvio Pass; the

The McKinn-Finn European Tour (Part 1 of 3)

...continued

Deutsch Alpenstrasse; Nurburgring; and so many more. With map in one hand and highlighter in the other, we started plotting our course. As it came together we decided we would be able to contain our trip to Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy with perhaps a chance to visit the Czech Republic if time allowed.

With rough itinerary in hand, it was time to start on the logistics phase.

Robert had been on an organized tour before and had rented a bike from a dealer in Switzerland. After only a couple of email exchanges, we had confirmation that bikes would be available in Bern and Thun, Switzerland. I was in charge of getting airline reservations and with the Olympics in full swing getting into Europe was a bit dicey. However, plenty of seats were available to Zurich, Switzerland so that was the place to go. Checking the train schedule it was easy to get from Zurich, to Thun, or Bern. Robert was in charge of getting hotels for our arrival and the price of hotels in Bern was prohibitive, Thun was much better (at only $200 francs per night).

So we had the trip bookended; fly to Zurich, take the train to Thun, only 90 minutes away, and return via Thun, train to Zurich and fly home. All that remained was to fill in the middle ten days...and pack!

To plan the daily destinations we returned to our map. I had met a very nice fellow on the airplane who just so happened to work for BMW. Being a Beemer/Bimmer nut myself, we were able to talk shop for a while. I told my new friend that Robert and I were going to Munich and asked his advice on what to see. He gave me his email address and asked me to drop him a note to remind him. Long story short, he forwarded my email to some of his counterparts at BMWNA and very soon I had passes for the BMW museum, factory, and BMW Welt in hand.

In short order, we had two of our days filled; six more to go.

An email to Bruno back at the bike shop in Thun, gave us some unwant-

20 - Southern Biker Magazine

ed news. I desperately wanted to go get some hot laps at the Nurburgring, which is a privately owned road now with unrestricted speed. Bruno’s insurance would not cover us on that track so we drew a big X through that destination.

But in doing so we opened up two more days of riding. Robert and I each picked a short list of places we wanted to visit and started weaving our highlighted route out on our maps. We had our arrival and departure reservations and all that was left was the accommodations during our trip. We decided that too much was in flux and making reservations ahead of time would tie our hands and force us to be too rigid so we opted for the “just show up” plan.

After our uneventful flight to Zurich, and train ride to Thun, it was time to report to Thun Motorsports at 0900 to pick up our rental bikes; a BMW K1600GT for me and a K1600GTL for Robert. Bruno’s excellent staff was even kind enough to pick us up at the hotel on that rainy morning.

We had pre signed all the paperwork and made the deposits, etc. The sunny afternoon before the rental pickup was pretty much streamlined. By 10:00 we had our rain gear on, our GPSs programmed and we thumbed the starters on our bikes and were on our way to our first destination; Interlaken, Switzerland.

Interlaken is a very quaint, but popular tourist attraction in Switzerland very similar to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It’s a very Swiss town with stunning views of the Alps in every direction. Interlaken is also at March, 2013

the base of the Jungfrau Mountain which is clearly visible and chock full of tourist activities on its own. Souvenir shopping completed we chose to doff the rain gear as the rain had slacked off to intermittent showers and we pushed onward toward Munich part of the way on some gorgeous back roads and partly on the autobahn. The rain was still sporadic, but moderate at times but the excellent protection of the BMWs kept us from having to put our rain gear back on. By the time we arrived at our hotel in the Olympic Park we had partly sunny skies.

The next day and half were spent on the campus of the BMW Welt (world) visiting the museum and taking in a factory tour. Also, throughout the day we were entertained by driving and motorcycle exhibitions inside the Welt building. Robert and I both got a VIP ride around the campus in a beautifully maintained BMW Isetta. Several

times during the day a factory rider would rumble through the lobby and up and down the stair cases and across the skyway on a Husqvarna 450 dirt bike. And since we were there during Zweiradtag (two wheel days) we got VIP seats for Chris Pfiefer’s thrilling show. While Munich, was nice and the BMW campus was a great destination, the mountains of Bavaria were calling so we left early in the afternoon when our factory tour was complete.

We jumped on the autobahn southbound to get us out of the Munich traffic. The unrestricted sections of this awesome road coupled with two of BMW’s flagship 6 cylinder megatourers made short work of the 100 kilometers of super slab. Then, we slowed the pace and headed toward Sonthoffen, Germany, via some of the most scenic roads I’d ever ridden. The only drawback was the hot temperature coupled with the local farmers spreading copious amounts of manure resulting in olfactory spasms.

The view was well worth any noxious fumes that permeated our helmets.

Sonthoffen came into view early evening and we were ready to settle in for the night. Or were we? This is the only time we had trouble finding lodging.

For some strange reason, it seemed every inn and Gasthaus was closed on Mondays. We found a local waitress who directed us an inn 4 doors down that she told us, through her broken English, would have a room available.

The burly innkeeper had another thought. Through my broken German and his broken English we were able to procure a room but I rather think we didn’t do anything to advance international relations.

Food for Thought

by Barry Duncan

STAN’S ON THE RIVER I REALLY LIKE GETTING HOT TIPS ON NEW SPOTS. WHEN LITTLE JOE CARTWRIGHT PUT ME ON THE TRAIL OF STAN’S ON THE RIVER, I KNEW IT WOULD BE GOOD. STAN’S ON THE RIVER IS LOCATED ON OLD HARTFORD ROAD NEAR COSBY, TN. THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE IS I-40 TO EXIT 440 AND TURN RIGHT ON RT 73. TRAVEL ABOUT 40 YARDS AND STAY STRAIGHT ONTO OLD HARTFORD ROAD. STAN’S IS ABOUT A MILE FROM THERE ON THE RIGHT NEXT TO THE RIVER. THERE’S A NICE INDOOR BAR AND TABLES OR YOU CAN DINE ON THE PATIO AND WATCH THE RIVER. APPETIZERS RUN BETWEEN $5 & $6 AND RANGE FROM MUSHROOMS TO CORN NUGGETS. WINGS RINGS ARE POPULAR. STAN DOES HIS OWN BBQ AND IT IS GOOD! STEVE-O DID BEEF BRISKET ON A HOAGIE AND FRESH CUT FRIES AT $7.95. I DID THE PULLED PORK WITH FRESH CUT FRIES AND SOME OF THE BEST BAKED BEANS EVER AT $9.95. AN 8OZ BURGER AND FRIES GOES FOR $7.25. RIBS AND PRIME RIB IS A FAVORITE AFTER 4PM. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR A COOL DRINK ON A HOT DAY. GET OFF THE KIDNEY SHAKER AND RELAX FOR A BIT. IF YOU HAVE A BIG GROUP, CALL AHEAD TO 423-487-5000. CHECK OUT THE WEB http://www.stansontheriver.com/.

C hipo hipotle tle Deviled Eggs 12 large eggs 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 to 3 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chiles* 24 Red Pepper Strips Chopped green onions (Garnish) Place eggs in large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring to simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently 5 minutes.

Peel eggs and cut across the width. Spoon yolks into small bowl; arrange whites on platter. Finely grate yolks on small holes of box grater into medium bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, then 2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chiles. Add more chopped chiles, if desired, for more heat. Season filling to taste with salt, if desired.
