Checked pressure in van spare. Which is mounted upside-down under van so you have to drop it down to check pressure. UGH!

We're not in Illinois anymore...A Grand total of 1160 miles and 24hrs behind the wheel for our 6 day weekend.
The Sienna did a great job of pulling the trailer up and down the Smokies AND the Appalachians.

Looks like you guys had a blast. Next year I'm there!
 
Re: 72 CL100, Piglet conquers Blue Ridge Mountains

Hello, any idea where I can get a luggage rack like this one? The one I found on ebay just doesn't work for me.
Any help appreciated! Thanks
 
Re: 72 CL100, Piglet conquers Blue Ridge Mountains

No idea dude, It came with the bike...never had to look for one.
 
Hard to believe Piglets 49yo. Still running like a champ…and it only took 49 kicks to get him going. Actually I can’t recall the last time I took him for a spin…maybe a couple + years.
Thank goodness for pure gas.

Just as sharp as ever. I'm just starting in on a friend's XR100R. My first journey into the small singles. Should be a blast!

Thanks my man, yes the little ones are truly the most fun. I love that it’s just as capable, both on and off road. Looking forward to see your friends project completed.
