This 30 mile stretch of awesomeness was our destination on day 2 of the 2014 Central FJ Rally. The following video was not taken by one of the attendees. I wanted to share the FUN that Steve, (steve_in_florida), Dave, (texasdave), Dan (giantkiller) and I had.

We'd been warned by some of the local townsfolk (in a car) about "THAT" road. Warned us "TO BE CAREFUL"!

Incredibly smooth road. Not like some of the goat trails Fred found us earlier that day.

One of the best parts of the whole day was extremely little traffic. The area is very sparsely populated. In the whole 30 miles of Push Mountion road, I think we passed 3 cars that were going the other way and caught no cars the way we were headed.  :yahoo: It was MAX KOOKALOO for 30 miles.  :dance2:

There are almost no mailboxes along Push Mountain Road.....and as said, very little traffic. :biggrin:I can't wait to scrub in a pair of ContiMotions up there this weekend.

I love that road. I just couldn't keep myself under control. I had to let the kookaloo loose.

I didn't think Fred, Steve and I were going slow on Push Mountain but Dan passed us on his heavily modded 1350 like we were standing still. He was waiting for us at the end with his bike parked and I believe the engine had cooled off. Push Mountain road--the most fun you can have with your clothes on.   :biggrin:  Dave
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Really nice road.  Where's the traffic?

The day we rode it( Fred, Steve, Dan and myself) there was no traffic going our way and only 1 or 2 cars comming at us so we did exceed the speed limit SLIGHTLY.   :biggrin:   Even better we did not get stuck behind a gaggle of Hardlies. Like Giantkiller(Dan) said it is a road made for the FJ.   Dave

Speaking of Hardlies, and I like that way the FJ disappears from the 600RR in the tight stuff....
