Mountainous Motorcycling

We didn't have any "Big and Evil Plans" for the weekend. So when His Sweetie mentioned that it might be a good time for a motorcycle trip to the mountains, The Fuzz agreed.This is a look at Table Rock from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has been hot and dry around here but up there it was rather pleasant.
He started out on some of the local country roads rather then heading straight for the main one. He was hoping to avoid that first, relatively boring section. He had some local maps since he was unfamiliar with this area, and had a route planned out. While he was looking for one of his turns, he passed up this old house and decided to turn back for some pix. Then, as he was getting ready to pull off, he noticed the name of that gravel road he was next to. It turned out it had been the road he was looking for. Although he lives on a dirt road, he is not fond of riding his street bike on loose gravel. But this was where he needed to go, so he carefully set off. He made it to the highway with out mishap, and headed off for the highlands.
I am happy to relate, that he had an excellent ride . There was lots of variety. Some twisties to keep him on his toes, and the fairly mellow Parkway. And he made it home safe and sound, and with a rather sore butt.

Sounds like a nice ride, apart from the bumpy section. Nice pix.

somebody's got to nurse the wounded - really though.. I am always so paranoid about getting smeared across the asphalt I can't enjoy the ride.

these are really nice photos
