NC. a week later.
« on: May 14, 2005, 11:18:38 PM »
I couldn't make the CVO meeting but had planned to go the next week. We rode the parkway from route 151 to Mt.Mitchell. Went to the NASCAR garages in Mooresville. Visited the Biltmore. Also made Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Last but not least was the Dragon at Deal's Gap. Our trip covered 1832 miles. Only one bad rain storm with a little hail in it at the end of a day's riding near Asheville. The last day coming home, we had two rains and was fairly cold. All in all a really nice trip.

Route 151 was a very narrow switchback up to the parkway. Some shots on the parkway.

Now have seen a pumpkin with a paint to match n-line trailer, this picture of a green one and Mike in Texas has got to be getting his red one back pretty soon.  Those look great.  

Having seen a few up close now I really like that N-line trailer.  Huge inside.  I actually think they'd look even better if the rear wheel was positioned such that it ran inside the body of the trailer about half of it's diameter.  I know you'd lose some cargo space for the tunnel it would require.  But not that much.  In any case it's a good looking rig though.  Glad you had such a great trip  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

We were gone eight days. Unigo makes a one wheel trailer that hides the rear wheel. The trip came up so fast that I didn't have time to put the pinstripes on yet. It's back at the painter now to have them put on. The thing pulled like a champ, I hardly knew it was there. The wife loves it.

Deal's Gap was a fun place to visit, the motorcycle parts hanging from the tree was comical but sobering.

When we were at the base of Chimney Rock, I saw a red SEEG going through town. Was that any of you out there ? That was Saturday the 7th.

That photo on the Dragon is SWEET!  Looks good enough to be in some H-D literature or something.  Thanks for posting photos of what the place looks like when the sun is out.

Unigo


Thanks for the heads up on that trailer manufacturer.  Was a name I'd not seen before.  Time to do a little homework now....
