Great pics, Lilbear.  And that Bridal Veil Falls Road (whatever the # is) has some truly tough 'switch-back' corners, doesn't it?     har.  spyder

Spyder,

Rt 64!  That and Rt 28 are some incredible roads!

I see you with a long sleeve shirt.
I see jackets on.
I see gloves.
Weather a little chilly?

I guess that SERK is broke in now?
I'm betting Lewis will have a taller windshield soon!

Both bikes looking great!
Don't let him get a 2 into 1 Rinehart!

 

Chip,

At altitude on Friday, I think it was in the high 60's.  Perfect riding weather.  Lewis more than doubled his miles on the SERK this weekend and it is now properly broken in.  I think he'll have the taller windshield before the week is out.  As for the pipes, who knows, but Kristina says that before he does anything else to the bike, he has to get some pipes!  How can you argue with a women that uses logic like that?

Here's Martha and I on the observation deck.

Can't argue with that logic!
Glad everyone had a great time!

Lewis and Kristina at Anna Ruby Falls.  Having never been there, who were we to deprive them from that hike up the mountain to see the falls.  Really, it's a nice break from riding and gives everyone a chance to stretch their legs.  Somehow, we got into the marathon riding thing while we were there, but it's so easy because the area is just loaded with great, no make that incredible, riding roads.

On Saturday, there was a concert evet at Copperhead Lodge.  Here's a picture of an Atlanta band, GRIP.  They were good and altogether a great warm up band for the headliner, Jeff Bates.

Here's Kristina with Jeff Bates.  He had a great show and the sound was incredible.  The folks at Copperhead Lodge took great care of us as they do of all Copperhead guests with VIP treatment all the way.  We had worried about the crowds with a concert being there, but the way they manage the whole thing makes it a great ending to a perfect riding day.

Jeff in concert.  He really has some great songs.  Could not believe how great a show they put on at Copperhead.  It really helped that the weather was perfect with a nice cool evening and not a drop of rain.  Full blown sound setup.  They didn't miss a trick.  I wouldn't hesitate to attend any concert event at Copperhead Lodge.

Here's a BMW with some high tech sidecar that rode in for the event.  Notice the little Reflex scooter in the background that has been converted to a trike.  Some girl rode the thing in and new she would be too drunk to ride home, so she had her grandmother come and ride it home for her.  Too bad we didn't get a picture of that.  She had her oxygen hooked up and everything.  See that old gal on that little trike really put a smile on my face.  You could really see how it made her feel so alive as she twisted the throttle.

[lilbear]

We had a great ride home today.  It seemed like the rain chased us all day.  Kristina had to get that rain cover on the T-Bag just in case!

[spydglide]

That thing could easily remind you of a 'coffin'.    spyder

See the ominous clouds filled with rain behind Lewis and Kristina?  It was literally minutes behind us at this point.  One missed stoplight and we would have been soaked.  Timing was great though and once we got moving again, the rain was well behind us (O.K., maybe 20 minutes or so, but still BEHIND us).

We had a great time.  I really want to thank the great folks at Copperhead for the great service, attention to our needs and most of all, maintaining a great lodge type resort in the center of some of the country's best riding roads.  If you haven't been to Copperhead Lodge, you are missing a truly one of a kind motorcycle vacation experience.  If you've been, I'm sure they'd love to see you back soon.  The economy is certainly putting a strain on their business as well as many others in the vacation business, but they continue to maintain a very high level of service, great food and some pretty fine accommodations.  I know it's just one of those places that we will continue to keep going back to.  Anyone going?  Let us know and we'll sure try to join you.  So many roads, so little time!
