    Georgia trip - any suggestions for roads and points of interest are welcome

    Stone Mountain is only interesting for people who don't leave the city - I wouldn't waste my time as you'll see way better mountains on your rides. I modified your 2nd route slightly to near the top end - https://goo.gl/maps/U3zDC2Tkvr92 I just rode part of that route last weekend and it's a...

    Georgia trip - any suggestions for roads and points of interest are welcome

    I live in Georgia and have ridden throughout the area extensively for the past 2 1/2 years that I've been here. I only took a quick look at your maps but here's what you should consider: - Route 1 has too much Interstate where you will run into traffic - stay off I85 and I20....actually, stay...

    Need help to plan a trip to Tail of the dragon.

    Just saw this now... I would boogie down to Maggie Valley for a night or two then stay in Robbinsville. Two Wheel Inn is cheap (around $65 or so) and VERY clean. Can't comment on any other place since it's the only place I've stayed at in the area.

    Need help to plan a trip to Tail of the dragon.

    I used to do this trip, to the Smoky's, every year when I lived in Ontario. Now I live down here and ride these roads all the time. Lots of good routes down here. 220 and 219 are good places to start. I'm not a fan of the BRP as I found it boring. I like to roll through small towns so I stay...

    Arkansas trip - recent floods and general advice

    The main reason for moving down here was for the weather and riding roads. Now I'm only 2 1/2 hours from the Dragon. It's already mid-high '80s here. A bit cooler in the mountains though of course.

    Arkansas trip - recent floods and general advice

    I live in Georgia now so most of my riding is in the Smoky Mountains. This area blows away the Ozarks. If you haven't been I highly recommend.

    Arkansas trip - recent floods and general advice

    I just got back from a trip to the Ozarks. Not sure the route you're taking but you should be fine from a "flood" perspective. Lots of flooded areas off the Interstate but we only ran into one closure well south of Hot Springs on 7. We didn't spend a ton of time there due to an unexpected bike...

    Natchez Trace Parkway

    I rode part of it a couple of years ago. Started from the north end near Nashville. It was super boring and it's the same old after the same old.

    A Soggy trip down the BRP

    I've done trips to the same area the last couple of years and am leaving next Friday again for the Smokey's. Last year, the plan was to take the Blue Ridge down but it got boring for me very quickly. Very repetitive with the same lookouts one after another. Plus, I prefer back roads that roll...

    Heading to the Dragon down the Blue Ridge Parkway second week of July .

    I had this guy pass me when I was on the Dragon a few weeks ago. Never seen anyone ride such a big bike so fast.

    Riding down to Mexico in april

    Since you can't be talked out of heading to Mexico, would you mind picking up a package for me that's down there and bringing it back?

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    Ireally can't explain it. It's not about going fast for everyone. It's just about being on two wheels. If you're completely disinterested in cruisers thenyou're not there yet and perhaps you never will be. Nothing wrong with that. Ifwe all liked the same thing we would all own the same bike...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    That's one way of looking at it. Another is that HD has had a such a large influence on the US that their Government is concerned enough to step in and help them in a time of crisis. They mean as much to the US economy as GM. That's saying something. They may not have the best bikes on the...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    There's a Harley saying that goes "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand". The majority of younger riders in Canada (in the States many grow up wanting a Harley) will never get it if all they want to do is go fast and carve corners because Harley's are obviously not built for that. Once...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    No more so than sportbike riders are a already a stereotype. Bright multi-coloured helmet, flashy Power Ranger outfit complete with racing boots like they're doing laps on the track. Some even sport a mohawk on their helmet when they feel like drawing more attention to themselves. Not sure what...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    CafeRay, you are an idiot. You obviously hate HD, which is fine, but you're points on arguing have ZERO basis at all. Stop debating on a topic you clearly know nothing about. You keep claiming that HD is losing their "blue collar" customers because of the bad economy. Blue collar manufacturing...

    Bonnechere Valley

    That's the Ottawa Valley. Definitely the best roads in this province.
