Jerry,
Let me know if you come and we can meet up. I should be here in WNC until late October.
Be riding my DF or this.

Sounds like a plan to me. Now all I have to do is talk my brother-in-law into leaving one of his bikes home so we will only need one trailer and truck to make the trip. lol

Three and possibly four if I put the Hawk in back of the truck.

Celebrating the 4th of July on my RE rig. Just great to ride the bikes here in the mountains of Western NC and Eastern TN.
Today is the DF's turn the be ridden

Got 200 km or 120 miles with 1.4 gallons of fuel which equals 85.71 MPG on the DF today here in the mountains of WNC.

Wow! that's pretty good.

I only average around 65 mpg on my Hawk.

I get better MPG on all my bikes here in the mountains as there are no stop lights and very little traffic. Less MPG in Florida because of all the lights and stop and go traffic. Performance seems very good for 223 cc. I thought the speedometer was optimistic but comparing it to the speedometer app on my phone it is off maybe 2 MPH at 60 MPH.
The DF parked next to a hot shot female's bike. She really smokes the Dragon. I did pass two Harleys today on the Dragon, that pisses them off.
The DT250RTG is a fun bike to ride here in the mountains with all the curves and elevation changes.

Lots of photos of my Royal Enfield flying the flag on the 4th of July.

I got soaked on the way home today. By mistake I didn't pack my rain jacket ! It is on the DF now. Get wet just about every ride but I don't leave the house if is raining. Been a wet summer here so far. I am kinda use to it.

**JerryHawk250** · 07-30-2019, 05:15 PM

My rain suite stays in my trunk. Rain storms can pop up any time during the summer here.

Barnone · 07-30-2019, 06:01 PM

My rain jacket was suppose to be in right saddlebag but a senior moment left it having on a hook in the basement. The rain pants were in the left saddlebag.

Barnone · 08-01-2019, 09:19 AM

A guy asked me if my DF was a Triumph and he was serious. I just pointed to my license plate tag and he was happy.
Kinda dwarfed by the real BMW.

Barnone · 08-01-2019, 09:23 AM

Added a small top box to the back so I could carry more stuff. Maybe will fit a milk crate.
On the Dragon US 129 WNC ETN. Lots of crashes there.

RedCrowRides · 08-01-2019, 05:51 PM
