It wasn't that bad when I did it last September. If time isn't an issue, I wouldn't sweat it. I'm sorry to offend truckers, but they're some dangerous out there. If they signal to change lanes, back off, because that was just a slight hint and they're going. That was my biggest take from my highway riding trip....always fun when they both take up two lanes up hill and cause a one mile backup.

I don't mind trucks and expressway. I prefer to cover a lot of miles and get to the next town. Traveling by myself I am not one to stop and take in the scenic areas. But say I were to get off 81 and riding about 100 miles of the BRP. What section would anyone advise? Could care less about curves. Thanks

The BRP around the Roanoke area is pretty nice. My favorite parts are from Stone Mountain NC area down to Asheville. It's pretty torn up in a lot of areas and some of it is just like riding by cow pastures.

After some time on 81 fighting the winds and cagers and doing the 80 mph dance with the big rigs....it really lowers the BP to get on the BRP for a while. Minimal traffic, low speeds, beautiful views, and wildlife really help. As long as you have the time. Just a refreshing side trip that makes the long trip bearable.
