That's a fun ride.
It makes me miss highway 151 back in western NC. The back side of Pisgah mountain is a fantastic ride and it takes you up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Ride on, J~

I've spent many afternoon's going up and down that road. Originally from San Pedro so I know exactly how fun those turns are.
I would always cruise through at legal speeds first to look for police and hazardous road conditions. Then let it rip several times and take off before the neighbors get too upset. Come back an hour later and repeat. There are houses just up the hill from that road that I'm sure loud motorcycle exhaust is annoying. Police show up anytime loud motorcycles are there for more than a half hour or so. |
