Motorcycle Type: 07 Yammy V Star 1300 Touring

Motorcycle Road Length: 77 Miles

Motorcycle Road Scenery:

You will experience rural country houses and farms. Occasionally crossing streams or small lakes. At points along the path you will emerge into a moderately populated town while at other points you will travel the gently twisting farm road experiencing the serenity of Hurdle Mills. An extremely sleepy town consisting of a Garden and feed, a post office and a convenience store.

Motorcycle Road Quality:

The road quality in the populated areas are great. In rural areas you should be aware of the gravel drives and the possibility of critter runs. All surfaces along the way are favorable.

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:

There is gas, chow and coffee along the way. However, use your SEE techniques as if you move into the more rural parts of this ride, you may have to wait for gas, the ladies room or food. The majority of this ride is rural. If you see the chance on one of the above items. Grab it while you can. It's a loop with a nice mix of country roads, towns and a two lane highway. Some of these roads are extremely rural. If you need gas, food or bio's do so at the obvious spots or you will find yourself stranded hungry or ummm wet.
