I live at mile 327.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, half way between Asheville, NC, and Boone, NC. If you are riding through the Appalachian Mountains and would like a guided tour of the back roads the tourists don't know about send me a pm as I'm always available for two wheel travel.

Rubbing that in as I sit in downtown Atlanta, Tim, is unkind.
Last Monday and Tuesday, I was on the BRP for some miles in Virginia and N.C. Weather sucked green eggs, but I would happily be back there again, cold gusts notwithstanding.
Should not complain, tho. Did 250 or so miles in the Georgia mountains with Kathi yesterday, and that was mighty fine. Norge is running superbly, and new suspension fore and aft is remarkable.
And, leaves just at or a wee bit past peak here. Gorgeous. My camera's tripod mount threads are stripped, so I'm limited on doing your kind of moving shots until I figure out a fix, but here's best I can do for yesterday:
Oh, if anyone out there wonders if phordman knows his roads, I assure you he does. He showed me some "secret" ones, but said he would kill me if I told.
