Tonight the guys talk about how they go about planning out a long road trip or not.  Rico was able to stop by for a Ducati demo ride and gives us his take on the Multrstrada Enduro and the XDiavel. What the guys sipped on during the show: Rich - Skull Splitter (The Orkney Brewery) Rico - Jefferson Stout Sweet Potato (Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company) Jon - Hard Ginger Ale (Coney Island Brewing) Long Trip Planning: The guys sat down and used the Furkot site and planned out a 9 day ride. Ride covered ~2100 miles, average ~260 miles per day, and ~7 hours in the seat. The trip avoids highways thanks to Furkot option. Rich has nickedname the trip - Loud Pipes Automotive Tour due to stops planned out.  The following are places planned to stop and see on trip: Wheels Through Time Corvette Museum and Factory Indianapolis Motor Speedway Henry Ford Museum Niagara Falls D.G. Yuenglins a Son Harley-Davidson York, PA The route needs more details, but overall this is good starting point to build on. Rico was able to get a little time in to stop by Ducati demo and get to take a couple of bikes for a little spin.  Rico thoughts..... Multirstrada Enduro: Really enjoys bike, and now gets the idea of adventure bikes This one adds to the stable to bring the total to four Comfortable ride, could use a backrest 40 minutes including traffic and some nice back roads Tried touring and sport modes Main negative was a lot of shifting to find the power band.  Felt like engine ran out of breath too soon xDiavel Loves the look of the bike! FAST Bike Stop light comment about how nice the bike looks Took bike on same roads with the Multristrada Enduro Felt like the bike could do wheelies in 1st or 2nd gear with no problems Had the bike in sport mode the entire demo ride Just like the Multistrade, felt like the engine ran out of breath Rico is still smiles thinking about the XDiavel Events: Upcoming events that one or more Loud Pipes! members plan on attending:  Ducati XDiavel demo Ride in June or July Moto Vlogging Meetup - May 20th-22nd. 12th Annual Barber Vintage Festival (October 7th-9th, 2016)    If you enjoy the show, want to keep it AD free, and receive generous rewards for your contribution, check out our donate page loudpipes.net/donate.  Patreon is our focus and is an ongoing support model.  There is also a link for one time donations and support of any size is greatly appreciated.
