There are so many great roads out there, but sadly I have only done blueridge/skyline and roads like 60/29/460. I usually haul-ass to blacksburg so I can tailgate and then haul-ass home that night or the next day depending on whats going on.

IDK if I ordered a BT23 online if it would be here by Sat. Perhaps, but cutting it close. I did some online research about tire mixing. Ideally you shouldn't. But some say it's not such a big deal. And it seems like it's a little better if you stick with the same brand. So hopefully i'll be ok. Like I said I've had mismatched battlax on my 650 since 2010.
