Oh and to ashville, from there. 1.5 days. Depends how u ride, and how often u stop. The parkway is 45 mph. I plan on staying at a motorcycle camping ground just out side maggie valley nc. We can meet in sayre. I go there pretty often, or even Binghamton. Im just 45 mins away.
Hey, thank for the offer. This particular trip is for my son and I. I hope it doesn't sound rude...but we are looking forward to just the two of us on a road trip. He just got a 1985 interstate (same year he was born!) Another time? Maybe there are a few of us upstaters!Originally Posted by bobo116

Looks like a cool ride to me! Back roads are much more fun than the superslab lol
The blue ridge parkway is pretty slow but looks like you are about 270 miles from Roanoke, VA to Asheville on the parkway which is probably doable in one day but that's an all day event!

Rick- can't speak to time thru the Parkway but it's not a time saver because it's so nice a ride but you won't regret 15....I can't stand 81 anymore. I take 15 all the way down (about 10 hrs to get in to NC) don't miss running along the Sasquehanna river where 15 and 11 run together (west side not east) sounds like a great ride with your son.
Not a problem at all. If u see a red 6, and a big guy, say hello. It might be me.. ride safe.

will do! also buy you a cuppa...coffee or whatever
If you're in a hurry, the Blue Ridge Parkway is not the way to go. If you can average 40-45 on the BRP, you're doing pretty good. (...AND you're speeding)
