Go buy your local auto parks store and buy a gallon pale of Berrymans Chem dip carb cleaner. Take one apart and soak for 24-48 hours. blast clean with carb or brake cleaner. It's $30.00 and some time. Cheaper that a new set of carbs.

Waynesboro, Virginia to Nags Head, North Carolina

After breakfast I walked to an Ace hardware next to the hotel and picked up some replacement double sided tape for my chin mount action camera. It's failed a few times on me now, so I'm not holding my breath for it to hold up this time.




For a future trip I would like to ride the 105 miles of The Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park. This trip I just got a taste of the southern end of the park, riding in far enough to get to a nice overlook to get off the bike and take in the sights and sounds, and then head on out again.








While I was on I-64 leaves rained down on me as wind gusts knocked them from the trees. For lunch I stopped in Colonial Williamsburg and had a sandwich at a cafe there. It was my first time visiting there and I was in awe of how large the living history museum is. I was expecting it to be a few blocks like a typical historic district, not 301 acres. There were horses to pet and I stumbled into a carpentry shop where a gentleman was working on wagon wheels and barrels for customers all up the east coast. Most of the walking surfaces were gravel or brick, but some of the old cobblestone was especially slick even on a dry day.





On the way to the outer banks I saw signs for a tunnel and had the stomach dropping realization that there were no mountains to go through... I took the Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel under the James River. I have no problem with Lower Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago, but there's something off to me about riding a motorcycle through a tunnel over 100 ft under water. Riding through the outer banks was beautiful though. I enjoyed riding down the road with ocean water on one side, fields of corn or even sheep on the other. I beat my folks to the hotel and then once they arrived we walked along the beach and grabbed dinner. It was exciting to have made it to the Atlantic Ocean. Now just need to ride across the continent and part way back again.

Yes chrome does suck!! I hate cleaning it.. but that tank on the special sucked me in and tried to make me forget about the Chrome 😂..I’ll probably end up with the sport .. but it’s still close..  The Dual disks and the USD forks are a nice feature …not a deal breaker but they do make the front end look better..

I get it,

Chase YOUR bliss.

Mine IS the Sport!

What can go wrong with them where they need "rebuilt"? ...unless someone was in there hacking things up. or water in the bowls, or you need external work like syncing/idle adjustment like Antietam Cycle said.

Passages possibly logged with lacquer (bike sat), and tiny grit in bowls.

Gallipolis, Ohio to Waynesboro, Virginia
Being on the Ohio and West Virginia border, I've been craving Tudor's Biscuit World. I decided against it this morning because the hotel included a breakfast voucher (Guzzi content) where you make a selection of three items in the dining area, the wait staff put in your order, and bring it out to you. It wasn't a half bad breakfast. My first stop for the day was right across the Ohio River, the Mothman status in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. My Iron Butt unfortunately doesn't hold a candle to Mothman's stainless steel posterior, and that's why I'm riding on an Airhawk pad.









A rail-to-trail in Oak Hill, West Virginia




New River Gorge Bridge. I made the mistake of not changing out of my riding boots when I parked at the visitor center, so I only went part way down the stairs to the lower overlook.








Thurmond Road had been repaved since the last time I rode into Thurmond, West Virginia, which was a pleasant surprise as it's a narrow road and dodging deep potholes put you into the oncoming half before. Thurmond is possibly my favorite "ghost town" that I've been to and it was also a filming location for the movie Matewan (1987) which is a favorite of mine. When I parked at the Amtrak station in Thurmond a guy standing next to his pickup truck in the parking lot said "What kind of bike is that? I've never seen anything like that." It's a fun change from "I used to have a motorcycle. People don't pay attention on the road these days though!" yada yada.














The chin mount for my action camera has unfortunately given up again. Usually it is heat that causes the 3M tape to sag, but this time I think it was just interstate speed and wind.




It rained on and off and while planning a next stop to warm up I realized I'd better find a Tudor's Intergalactic Biscuit World before I leave West Virginia and there aren't any more of them. I found myself at the last Biscuit World in the state heading east, in Lewisburg, West Virginia, and when I approached the counter I heard the staff tell the lady in front of me in line that they were all out of biscuits. Jesus wept. John 11:35








Beautiful mural at the Waynesboro YMCA. There is a campground between the YMCA and the river that I stayed at several years ago while backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. At the time anyone could camp for free after checking in at the YMCA, but the signs indicated it was now for AT hikers only.




I got a motel in town and walked to dinner.

Due to the Chrome??  Or the options that r left off the Special ( Fuel Gauge, Cornering ABS , reversed forks.) I hate the mirrors and a few other bits on the Special.. I just think the color is cool and some other chrome could be changed out.. if needed.

But again the Sport is damn cool in its own way.. and fully loaded.. Guzzi did mess up the pricing structure of those two..

Two good choices. Personally I'd like the Sport but with the Special's exhaust, or a Special with the Sport's wheels.

All that plus a few other things, most important dual discs (if that matters to you).  I recently saw the Sport in Grey that looks great too.  I'd only go for the yellow if it had a red frame.
