When I was 16 I hitchiked up to the Kang and spent the summer at "the chutes". It is a giant slab of granite up at the end of the wilderness trail. 65 minutes from the Kang to be exact. I ate dinty moore and drank falstaff all summer. We would run out of supplies and hike down to the kang and hitch to lincoln and hit the IGA for more. There was nothing in town near Loon then but a general store and abandoned saw mills. A couple of years went by and I had my first Ducati. I would head up and sleep on the ground in the IGA lot and get up at the middle of the night and use the kang for a RR course. Never did I consider animals. I was lucky. Anyhow whoever invented waterslides went to the chutes first. It is a 3 mile hike up the wilderness trail then turn left and follow the river 1/4 mile. No camping at the chutes but nearby on tent platforms. Bring a bathing suit and a camera. This is ten times the swimming hole that you see right off the kang towards the Conway side.

Nice, I actually made this ride on Thursday, I-91 in VT -> NH, 25A -> 118 -> the Kanc, up to Conway then through HMR. Then did the whole thing in reverse.

I have to agree the Kanc isn't as great as I've been led to believe, but it is fun. Unfortunately its a HUGE tourist trap up there, and I was leap frogging cars all day. Conway was even worse, I sat in 2 lines of traffic for 30 minutes apiece just to get through the damn town.

HMR though...whoa. That can get pretty scary pretty fast when both wheels leave the pavement. Thankfully there's almost no traffic on the road at all.

Very cool, guys!

RE: The Cardo's - we used Rider II's (just upgraded from a Rider Teamset) for about 22 hours total without recharging em earlier this year on a trip to Mi. On standby (ie: using VOX mike and not constantly chattering) they use hardly any energy, I love those things. For the price they cannot be beat either..

I've got a paired set of the Q2's. Nice little units & yeah, they go forever if you have it set to vox trigger.
The Q2 version even connects to the GPS on my phone for turn-by-turn!

[-jro-]

hahahhaha nice! Yea as I said earlier, for all the fuss the kanc garners it really wasn't THAT intense. It was still fun though, no doubt.

Yup. The Q2 has a jack for an MP3 player & even has an FM receiver (not the best antenna though... weak reception)

You can find Q2 multi-sets (two pre-paired units) starting around $250 on ebay.

I rode the Kanc for the first time a few weeks ago...it was a beautiful ride, nut not quite what I was specting

[tonup]

The Kanc on 2 wheels is for early spring or fall/late fall. Unless you get lucky there are just too many cages wasting your time or trying to make you check out early. As for the ride to get to the Kanc. On the East side take rt.153 up and forget rt. 16. I respect mr. law but while in Wakefield look out for that I got a chance to in court. Yeah, it still feels good to make a liar look like a douche.

Hey Nikon. I haven't seen you in Lincoln any time I've been through. Your probably checkin out the hairy chicks from Bethlehem hit'n the water park slide in their white gowns. I've heard. I gotta pic up a bag of pot at the 175 bridge and will give you call to swing by and say hello.

The 175 bridge is in Woodstock so do whatever you want there....

I'm actually out until beginning of Sept for surgery so I wont be around. I was talking about your bike to one of my co-workers the other day as I was checkin out a Scrambler (from VT) on top ofthe Kanc and he had a Thruxton seat and rear end - looked awesome. I love your bike.

If you're in my area of the lakes region hit me up - I'll be on the couch for a couple of weeks.

Absofukinlutely! I'll be in touch. Hope the heal up go's well! Damn! I didn't realize how much fun my overweight twin was until I hit my first track day. It's not how much power you have, but how well you ride with what you got. The track is
