I’ve been on much of it several times over. The 2010 trip was the only time I did the whole thing and we did it in both directions. Is was very much a memorable journey!

You meet the nicest people on that road. Last time I was there on my KLR650 I encountered a Japanese fellow on his V-Strom DL1000 who said he lived nearby, so the Blue Ridge was his "daily ride" after work. I told him that his bike interested me a lot, and he said, "Take it for a spin!, just be back in 10 minutes or so...".
You don't find trusting folks like that much anymore.
I enjoyed the ride.

Got Bonnie out today for some errands to the hardware store. 62ºF and sunny out today. Perfect.
First official ride today.... temps about 10c .... my driveway was a little slushy.... put on about 20 miles... bike turned 50 last month but weather wouldn't cooperate.... a few minor thing I need to tweek.

Upper 60's and sunny in Central New York today.
Pulled all of the bikes out of the garage and took them all for a spin.
Then selected the '83 (because it got a new exhaust this winter) for a 4 hour ride to the Southern Tier. All went well, smooth performance and noticeable HP increase from the stock exhaust.
