Bob,

I just took a look at Google maps. It appears to be just a matter of distance.

If you cross the Geiger Bridge, the drive to Schlicher’s Bridge is nine miles.

If you backtrack as the brochure map recommends, it’s 2.7 miles.

And apparently, the Jordan Creek Ford at Trexler Nature Preserve is meant to be driven across! Take a…[Read more]

a better pic of the overall fit.

Hey Paul, that looks like a quick and easy tour with all those covered bridges so close together.

When I saw the two at NW part of the map I almost didn’t think it strange how the route backtracks. Had to see if it was for a reason I encounter here, closed roads and the general way these kinds of bridges can be in rough terrain.

Oh Ed, Ed, Ed….Look again, it’s not on the map. But if you look near the top right, you’ll see a bright red arrow that says Paul is “6 miles that-a-way”  ➡

One thing going for me is i have always been the smallest around, but I have learned  a few tricks on just how and when to be seen!!! and yes using my “HEAD” light is a smart move!! always. Thanks for the in-put.

My issue with taking my TDr on the interstate or highway isn’t the speed, but being the SMALLEST thing on the road. You really need to keep in mind that, other than motorcycles EVERYTHING will be BIGGER and weigh MUCH more than you. This is super important when being passed by semi’s that disrupt the wind flow around them (and YOU, too!)

Yes!! I like to tinker, I am not a mechanic but more like a jack of all trades. I have had a couple of VW and I was always working on them, but that was 30yrs ago when I knew everything so yes, a new story in the making.

Great info!! Thanks. I am looking to make a trip from calif. to D.C and back with my brother. Heading to the wall for the first time kinda like a bucket list thing. He’ll Be on his Harley and me in my TD I can’t ride anymore and I have always wanted a TD so now is my chance I am not getting younger. Will keep ya posted.

Cliff,  You will have plenty of power.  You will find that your TDr (Allison is one of the best) is probably not very comfortable above 65mph.  (maybe 70).  I like 60 on my TDr and it’s in nearly perfect condition.

I hope you will drive it for a while locally until it is fully sorted out.  Even after that, carry a full set of tools.  I’m assumi…[Read more]

Wow! Good job!

This thread reminds me: I’ve got some dodginess in my tail lights as well. Spent half a day last year looking for shorts, bad grounds, weak bulbs, corrosion, etc. Everything checked out, and one side is dimmer than the other. I bet one side is mis-wired.
