Any tips would be appreciated, as we have not been there before. One question regards tire pressure: Together we have a combined weight of about 300 pounds. I am using Kenda Tires. What should the Front and Back pressures be set at? Any other info on Deals Gap would be appreciated. sebring "Its true that hard work never killed a man, but I figure why take the chance" 80 CX500C 99 VFR800 R.I.P: 71 Kaw 350 Triple 72 Kaw 500 Triple 74 kaw 500 Triple 72 Honda 500 Four 75 Honda 550 Four 82 Suzuki GS850G 87 Honda GL1200 96 Honda PC800    Report

As for advice, take it easy, don't try to prove anything and watch out for the other guy, sportbike squids are the biggest hazard at Deals Gap. Consider going on a weekday morning when the traffic is lighter, weekends are apparently crazy busy (never tried it myself). There are many other great roads in the area too. But why trailer? 80 CX500 Deluxe - Sold 86 Interceptor 500 93 Kawi Concours 81 GL500 - The Silver Thing, gone but not forgotten    Report
