I'll be leaving the rigid 650 at home & riding the 04 speed triple. im heading out towards gettysburg pa, from my house in oaklyn, nj. then ill be working my way down to the beginning of skyline drive. from there, ill be riding all of skyline drive to the blue ridge parkway. these two roads combined should be around 600 miles of isolated twisty mountain ridge riding crossing VA & a majority of NC. ill be camping out along the way, probably once along the blue ridge & then again in the smokey mtn national park at the end of the blue ridge parkway. from there ill be heading out to deals gap (118 turns in 11 miles - FYI) & ill venture into TN for a few hundred miles before making my way to Acworth, GA to stay with a couple friends who just bought a house down there. im debating if i should take the same route back, which im sure will not be boring because its just twisty mountain roads for hundreds of miles, or i could head east & ride some coastal roads back to jersey. either way, im stoked - i have 6 days of vacation already lined up & the bike is being prepped this week. this year, im traveling alone.
last year i rode to niagra falls & toronto with a couple of friends & we fought throughout a majority of the trip. basically sucked, aside from the riding & scenery. neither one of them have talked to me more than a couple of times since last year, so this year, i want a drama free vacation. id rather have a good time, just me & my triumph without all the bullshit bickering & mood swings.
im real stoked because im getting to ride some of americas best roads. ill be sure to post some pics when i get back. wish me luck!
