Another day and another nice riding opportunity, this time in my backyard, well......about 35 minutes north of my backyard.

Blood Mountain, on the Appalachian Trail in north Georgia yesterday.

Us north Georgia folk are spoiled with nice roads and this is just another example of such.

Just got back from 185 miles of good old country back roads. Getting the bugs worked out for my up coming trips. I think shes good to go but I'm going to put on a new chain any way. Probablly ride the BRP to Boone or Asheville next week.

Was going to use my point and shoot camera today but my daughter taught me a lesson about checking my gear before leaving. This was in my camera bag, instead of my camera

Two busas carved ~150 miles of twisty roads this morning, I failed to snap a more scenic pic though

Temp was great, traffic was light, roads were clear, and made it back home before the rain started.

Nice weather has finally arrived but it's been a long weekend. Roughly 800 miles and I'm beat.

Yesterday me and a friend went down to Roanoke to hang with his family at the motorcycle show, then rode back home on the BRP and some of the surrounding roads:

Today I showed a couple of fellow Stratoliner riders some of the nice roads out in WV:

Got the bike out for the first time this year on Saturday. I still have over a foot of snow in my yard but it was 65F and the roads were clear so I had to ride.

I was doing about 70-75MPH on the interstate, moved into the passing lane when suddenly 10-15 bales of hay broke loose from the pickup truck in front of me and landed in my lane. Managed to switch back to the other lane and make it around, but it was frightening

Got out to play in a local tag-o-rama game in south central PA.

These are in the Carlisle - Gettysburg areas. Pretty weather and nice windy roads through orchard country.

The '88 Hawk GT passed a milestone just before I got back to the house.

Yep, it's called a VOR and folks in planes do indeed use them for navigation.

Local covered bridge. It is currently restricted to bicycles and buggies (nothing with a motor) because of some construction nearby.

Saturday morning. Broke in my new-to-me Vstrom with some dirt!

Took three days to go from Chicago to Atlanta on my new (2007) BMW G650X Moto. My back still hurts.

799 miles total. Caught a minor league baseball game in Louisville. Met a German girl on BMW while stuck in traffic on I-65. Visited a kit aircraft manufacturer. Met a friend in the north Georgia mountains for an escort home. A really fun but mostly cool adventure. I only warmed up during the last 100 miles or so. Cold weather gear was too much to carry on the airliner with the helmet and all.

Good times!

Seatconcepts makes a seat for your X-moto, I don't know anybody with one of theirs on an X-moto ( pretty rare bikes ) but I have one on my husky, I know two KTM a Yami and a Honda that have them local, and they all feel about the same, FUCKING AWESOME.

I regularly go out and rail my SM610 for 300 miles in a day and still feel pretty good, stock seat was an hour and I was looking to drain some fuel and a match to burn that fucker to the ground.

It'll be the best thing you change on that bike, regardless of how much you spend.

I had that problem from posting a ton of pictures here. I got a paid photobucket account for three dollars a month. I'm not actually sure how much bandwidth I get, but it's more than I've been able to use.

Great pictures everyone.

Couple of buds and I will be hitting some sections of the Rubicon on Saturday to check the feasibility of doing the whole thing on Supermotos.

We ended up doing an alternate run for the really good lookout on the back side of French Meadows Res,

The dam is just to the left of that rock outcrop right behind my bike, I took this pic at the dam I think last year,

Rode ~150 miles yesterday, went by my favorite cigar shop and picked up a few sticks while I was out. The weather was perfect....I'd love to ride again today but no such luck.
