The Fuzz's Excellent Motorcycle Adventure 3

When we left Our Fuzz, he was in Boone, NC, at the Bojangles, trying to decide whether to push on, or wimp out.  Ant if you do remember, The Intrepid Fuzz had decided to take the adventure that came to him.

By now the bike had cooled off a bit, so there was no trouble getting out of town.

He had elected to take US 221 to Roanoke on this leg of the trip.  This is a nice 2 lane road most of the way.  And it winds though the mountains.  It was a lovely ride.
He was taking care not to push the bike, so there were no issues with that pesky clutch.  There was a slight problem with his Skid Lid though.  Some stitches had come out of a place on the chin strap, allowing it to blow back a bit on his head.  No disaster, but just a bit uncomfortable at speed.  But that Resourceful Fuzz stopped at a country store, and borrowed a stapler for a temporary fix.

Overall, it was a nice ride up to Roanoke.  221 took him though the center of town, so he got a pretty good look at the place.  On the way out of town, he stopped for a quick bite, and to add a couple of pages to his Trip Journal.

It was beginning to look as if time might be a factor.  The intention was to reach Charlottesville before dark.  And these days of Fall are getting shorter.  So The Fuzz opted for the main-road-4-lane down to Lynchburg, where he could pick up US 29 to his destination.  Of course this meant some of that 65+ MPH riding, and potential clutch trouble.
The Fuzz made it around Lynchburg okay, and hit 29, heading north.  But it was looking like a fuel stop would be a good idea.  So he took the "Business 29" exit into Amhurst.
It's a nice little town.  But when he stopped to top off the tank, the clutch problem resurfaced.  It was expected in a way, after all that hard riding.
The Fuzz gave the bike a few minutes to cool down just a bit, and managed to get back on the road.
The last leg of this day's ride was fairly laid back, and Our Fuzz made it into Charlottesville at last, to a warm welcome, and a cold beer.
