This weekend the weather was pretty nice. The Fuzz had planned to do a bit of work around the trailer. But His Sweetie remarked that it would be a good day for Motorcycling.There are a few things lined up for the next few weeks, so it did look like if He was going to go, this was the day to do it. He decided to ride NC 80 up to the parkway. This is one of The Fuzz's favorite rides. It is also where he had hit a deer several years ago. He keeps the dents in his tank as souvenirs. But he had no idea it was Famous!
There was a photographer making pix of the passing bikers, and a sign about seeing the pix online. The Fuzz couldn't remember the name, but he hit Google, and eventually found them*. And then, he discovered that he has actually been riding the infamous Devil's Staircase! Pretty exciting! The Fuzz does recommend the ride, if you are ever in the area. From there, he headed up the parkway for a more laid back experience. Here is where he stopped for a sandwich and beer.
All in all, it was a pretty good day up in the mountains. The Fuzz did make it home in one piece, with no new damage to either him, or his bike.
*You can see the proofs that The Fuzz is too cheap to buy here, at Blind Kenny's site.
