Nice pics, looks like you had much better weather on the Parkway. I rode up the parkway on July 27 and had this on and off for the day. Great down at the base.. a lil foggy/cloudy up top

I imported a 2006 VFR in Dec of 09 out of Virginia. Great bike, eat's up the miles with no issues, and can easily hold it's own in the twisties. I grabbed a full set of hard bags off ebay.uk last spring, if your even remotely considering touring I recommend finding one for sale with the hard...

Fight it for sure, A guy at work got dinged for a wheelie, they gave him a careless ticket and he paid it. Then after discovering his insurance was dropping him went back after the fact and hired a ticket fighter and had it lowered to IIRC failure to remain in your lane. Same fine + lawyer, no...

There's a small portion of the BRP closed, http://www.blueridgeparkway.org/v.php?pg=25 looks to be a 30 to 40 minute detour. I did US219 down to Rich Creek, Then down to Robbinsville via the highway, the way back Robbinsville to Rich Creek mainly up the BRP but hit some smaller back roads then...

A random group ride I'd probably skip, but There's a few friends I would go out for a ride on at a moments notice. Definitely prefer small groups, 4-6 bikes at the most.

I'll do music on long rides, I just did a 2 day ride back from Deals Gap back home via the Blue Ridge Parkway and US219. Music definitely made it a much more enjoyable trip.

Just got back a few hours ago myself, Left last Friday did 2 days down, rode around all week then left Saturday and did 2 days back. I love the entire area. How was Fontana Village? I haven't stayed there since 05.

IMHO you missed out, and I've ridden 28 down to Georgia too. The Cherahola is 55 miles of 25-35 mph sweepers with a 5000ft elevation change. We stay at a place at the base of the Cherahola on the NC side and I do beer runs over it when in need. I got a friend to shoot this a few years back...

Lewiston is usually the worst of the 3 bridges, from what I've read most gps units route through that crossing so it get's hammered pretty bad with traffic. Living in Beamsville I just check all 3 bridges before I leave the house. Usually Fort Erie is the fastest during the day, if you cross at...

Thanks for the replies. I Haven't done Skyline but US219 is a bit of everything, winding country road, 2 lane bypass and so on, and the further south the better it get's. That's basically Why I started taking it down and back, the interstate routes suck *** IMHO. Great for making good time but...

I'm riding down to the Dragon again next month and wondering if anyone has any good 2 day routes for the ride down. The last 2 years now I just shoot over the border Friday morning and get on US219 and ride it all the way down. I hit the BRP the second day and end up where we're staying at the...

If you stay at Willville Bike camp grab some subs from the farmers market in town, They are awesome, that or after riding all day I'll eat anything lol.

Going down there in 28 days :D

I crashed my 2003 Katana in 2008 while insured with Kingsway, Sand was spread over 3 of the 4 lanes in a corner and I went down sliding across the road into a ditch. So it was a single vehicle accident and I was declared at fault. Insurance priced the damage out to around $4400 IIRC. For my...

http://www.motorcycleroads.us/states/pa.html Lot's of great roads just over the border, Can't wait to do a few day rides this season.

I've mentioned it a few times already on here, But we had a guy a few years back auger into the roadside on his sportster the last day of a rally on the Dragon. By the time he got back to Canada 6 weeks later his medical bills were over $250,000. Thankfully he was like yourself fully covered...

+1 to that. You've taken time from your vacation to post this why not fire off an email explaining your on vacation and will be back on a certain date and will call then. Plus ask If they could explain in advance by email what this is about.

I had about 116,000 on my 03 katana when I sold it on 09. Currently the VFR is sitting at a lowly 46K :(.

It should be working now, I think their site was down last night. I think you'll be SOL though until AIA start producing more, just make sure it is an AIA (Australian International Arms) magazine and not a AI (Accuracy International) one. The AIA work with the 305B, the AI ones don't...

Been looking at the 305B too, the only thing bad is the ammo costs compared to 7.62X54r or 7.62x39 surplus ammo. Do you plan on reloading to keep costs down or will you not be shooting that much? Pretty sure it's under $100, that's what I've been seeing over at CGN If you can find them, the...
