I am more than ready to get on the bike. It's been a long cold winter in Pennsylvania.
I have had all kinds of motorcycles starting at the age of 16.
My current ride is a BMW R1200RT which is considered a sport touring bike. It's a great bike for carving the corners or for a week long trip.
I have ridden up and down the east coast from the Florida Keys to Maine.
I'm hoping to take a week long trip to Nova Scotia this summer.
This picture was taken at a place called "The Tail Of The Dragon" near Deals Gap NC. With 318 curves in 11 miles it's considered one of America's top motorcycle and sports car road. It's a great ride!
Yay, the weather is finally perfect for riding. This is my rolling couch....Harley Ultra Classic. The wife said either the bike goes or she does....still have the bike~

Understand where you are coming from Bob! While stationed on Okinawa, my ex-wife said if I bought a bike she would leave me. I bought two of them while I was on the island. Going on 30 years with my current wife & life is great. On a side note though, I don't have a bike anymore though...
Well, ..... Ahem, ....... some of us have a slightly different image in our mind when we hear the word "bike". Here's mine
Note that it's still hanging in the garage. Took it down today for a "20".
I don't ride and have no interest, but love to see the riders out..they bring money to town... I live about 30 miles from Deal's gap and the Dragon's Tail... we live near the south end of the Cherohala Skyway where most of the riders that do the Dragon either start or end up.... yesterday we were over at the "mall" (TP only has a strip mall with CVS, Dollar store, grocer, and few others).. there's a bar-b-que place that stands alone nearby... there must have been 50-75 riders having bar-b-que there.... on a week day... can't wait to see what the weekend brings.
Before he went bust and closed it down, there's an open field on the Cherohala just north of town and next to what is now a Harley store that was set up as an open craft market... I used to set up there every weekend during the summer... we loved to see the riders come through because they almost always stopped...

I went years ago to a Tour de Tellico (KLR and dual sports not the bicycle ride by the same name) and stayed at a campground, Cherahala Motorcycle Resort, there in Tellico. You live in a really beautiful part of the country and have some really great riding there.
Bob - 205 PLUS hills. Let me think about that one...... Let me think a long time. I've done centuries before, but never a double. Congrats - that's a real ride!
