Trip down south

Well we need to know a couple of things. How much time are you allowing for this trip? What kind of bike? What is important to you. Just off the top of my head you have missed the "Tail of the Dragon" in NC. then instead of riding on interstates north from Florida it would be very easy to use the Blue Ridge Parkway, then Penn. to get home on secondary roads, in fact you can do almost the entire way north on twisty two lanes. Unless you are riding a full dress whatever interstates pretty much suck.

Allowing 7-8 days to ride down, still have not planned the ride back but likely will be either mostly interstate or Amtrak. Bike is a 00 VFR 800 w/ Sargent seat + bead rider, redone suspension, Renthal handlebar, and lowered pegs.

I do not know what route shows up for you, but in the one I linked the BRP, Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and Snake are all there. Not the entire BRP as it is nearly 800km, that is for another trip. From Barber Motorsports Park to Boynton Beach, what are my options? All I really see is interstate.
 
Either leaving today or tomorrow, all packed up. If the weather does not clear up I will end up having to avoid all the fun parts and take I95 down :(
 
Made it to Caryville, TN yesterday, hoping to get to Valdosta, GA tonight with a detour to the Cherohala skyway and Tail of the Dragon :)
 
Hey that looks like the Givi from my old Burgman!!! Liked that better than the blob I've got now. It's getting more quality riding time than I am ;)
 
Haha it is :)
Paired with two givi 40L sidebags, worked quite well. Weighed the rear down so much that it wheelied a few times pulling onto the hwy LOL
 
Yeah it's a heavy sucker but looks better than the cheaper one.
Glad you are having fun....that was quite some motoring the first day.
