One of my team members was up on Cherohala this past weekend in his Miata. He took the Rafter Rd. bypass and said it was no issue as they apparently had groomed the road pretty well with about 3 miles of it being packed gravel and the remainder asphalt. Here are a couple of pics of the road. For information purposes only as YMMV.

Thanks F6Pilot, I think it's best that we stick to asphalt.Originally Posted by F6Pilot
I would hate to have anyone go down in the mountains again. I already dealt with two accidents a few years ago.
4 wheelers on gravel.... thats a lot of fun

I put in 545 miles today and got home at 7pm. It was a great time running around Western NC with you guys. The Tail of the Dragon was a nice run and the BRP is always a pleasant ride. I love the cooler weather on the BRP. It was Nice putting faces with the names I see on the board. My first gathering with the "B" team. Well, there were a few "B's" there. I'm sure I'll make some more. Tony has the pic's I took so he'll post. Ride safe all and thanks for a enjoyable Labor Day weekend Ride.
All in all, I did just over 1,425 miles. Got home mid afternoon, bike is clean, now to change the oil. I think while it is still hot, I'll get a Russell Day Long seat put on.
Great seeing y'all. Seeing old riding buddies (us? old? nah!), and meeting new ones. Thanks for setting it up Tony!

Wingstuff.com is throwing me a "bait and switch: with the T-valve stems for running exterior TPMS systems. The ones they sent to me today only have one external gasket to the wheel, they're supposed to have an interior one as well. I got of the phone with Jeff, telling him the issue of sending me something that was not originally pictured, and after going back and forth he's sending me a refund.
The current T-stem I've been running is leaking air around the base, have had them installed for over seven years now, and the rubber gaskets are looking to be getting dried out.
I just ordered the correct T-Stem from Fobo in the Philippines, I don't think it's going to get here in time so I can get it installed in my new rear darkside.
