    Early March 2007

    One of my buddys called me on a Wednesday morning and said there was a freak stream of warm weather on the way and we should go ride the Blue Ridge Parkway from end to end. I had my 06 Road King at the time and he had a BMW so Thursday morning we were on our way and the ride and weather were perfect. We rode to Charlottesville, VA and then rode south. We kept running into stretches where the BRP was closed because of snow and ice still on the ground so we did a lot of detours and only made it as far as Blowing Rock, NC before we headed home on Saturday night. More stories than I have time to type. Memories of that half week keep me from being "Bike-less" again.

    It seems the ones you "plan to the detail" are never the best.

    The Black Canyon Run

    On my way back from Durango, Colorado heading north I stumbled upon "The Black Canyon" highway (Highway 92)............it was an awesome ride up the canyon from the south to the north. Along the way I met numerous motorcycles (Harleys, Sport Bikes, Cruisers, etc.), a Slingshot and an exotic sports car (a Ferrari I think). Here is a link I found after I returned home. Great Ride...

    I must be getting old because there have been far too many to list here. See my PA route 6 thread, for the latest.
    I might not have the fanciest bike out there but I sure have one of the best bikes for riding. Now if I could only find a woman with the same virtues. My mind is thinking great performance while my body is just enjoying the memories. I must be getting old.
