Mountain Trip
« on: June 15, 2007, 01:28:04 PM »
Last week, 42 guys made a trip to the NC, GA, SC, & TN mountains in the Smokies area.  Mostly Harley riders - also Hondas, BMW's, a Suzuki, a Moto Guzzi, & a Yamaha.  2 CVO's - my 07 SEULTRA and a 07 SERK.  Rode from Tallahassee, FL to Franklin, NC and had 3 days in the mountains, with a day travel to and from.  Interesting group - some very ggod riders, some in the middle, and for a few it was their first mountain riding experience.  A trial by fire is a phrase I heard used a few times. 

Groups formed according to riding abilities - mostly formed naturally.  Some rode fast and hard (safe but quick), some were a bit off that pace, and others cruised.  Nobody cared who rode how, what, or why.  Mainly there to have a good time and ride and see stuff.  Rode Cherahala Skyway, Foothills Pkwy., Deal's Gap, Hwy. 28 along Fontana, and too many up & down twisties to mention.  Started early - around 8:30 (fog, etc.) & rode a different route each day - met for lunch as a group - then rode until around 6 or so.  Lots of fun, lots of beer afterwards and maybe 1 or 2 at lunch even......
I'll post a few pics.

It was working, Terry.  My favorite East Coast roads - all in one trip.  One of the more fun roads was called Elijay Road.  Near Franklin. A little bumpy, but twisty, twisty, twisty, and no traffic.

When we returned, some of the wives had hot dogs ready by the lake.  And beer.  And beer.  And beer......


After about 2k miles, some of us decided it was time to ride home - after another beer.....
