Thanks for letting me share my trip with you guys. Had a great 6 days of riding, put on about 200 mile on dirt mountain roads. The bike worked good-me not so good (sucks getting old) Put about 1800 miles on both bikes so I got my butt kicked, it was a good butt kickin though.
   Stayed in Maggie Valley at a place called Holiday Motel. Very nice people, clean rooms, they cater to bikes and a good price to boot.
    Went to the Gap, and the Skyway a couple of times. Rode most of the twisties in NC and even went to Helen Ga, by the way you don't want to go there on the weekend, took for ever to get out of there.
   Lots more but this is already-gittin kinda long, wait that's in a song I think. Thanks for the interest.

The weather is looking good for NC for next week. Heading out tomorrow.

Am I getting too old to ride with you guys?

is that an old Jaguar I see in the background?

Yup 72 E-Type

Welcome Tad, hope to see ya at Spring Green. Ray's the man around here, he puts together lots of stuff for us to do. For me I didn't start riding for real till I met these guys.

I feel bad for Andy's family, from what I understand they are from another country. I wonder what they would say to the person that left him for others to take care of. Who does something like that?

I highly doubt that it would be closed through because both sides of the park depend on park traffic for business.

Ya never know, it's a state hwy

Took a little spin yesterday 3/10, went into J Cooke from both ends as far as I could. Put on almost 100 miles and it got up to 57 degrees. Bike got a little dirty, but nuthin soap and water couldn't take care of. All thanks to a much needed break in the weather. That's the new bridge in J Cooke
