As for the Camera speed trap...... How do you know about that?

...My guess is that he got a present in his mailbox...watch out in some of these NC towns. I thought I read of some other NC town that had camera traps as well.

I was almost a victim; three of us were heading to run 421 at night. I was third in line, saw the flash burst and jumped on the brakes hard. Got them, not me. 45mph means 45mph all the time...

If I'm not mistaken; downtown Bristol is half in VA and half in TN. State St splits the two states! Wild but true!

This week a person told me of a road called the "Rattler" I have never heard of it before. May have to try it someday. That is if I can get out the driveway.https://www.209therattler.com/index.html

I ran the Rattler last week and it is an awesome road to ride. Starts out with some great scenary and then gets into the twisties. At the end if you keep going onto 208 the fun keeps going. Truly there aren't many bad roads. The Foothills parkway was a great scenic road for those who want to take in the scenary. 441 up and over the blue hills is a hoot also with plenty of places to stop for picture taking. I was hoping to post up a ride report but it will be a busy week for me. I am afraid that this will be my own personal EOM trip. I spent the whole week down there and didn't see one FJR rider. The dragon was empty.

Wow... zooming in and looking at the roads around that area on Google really highlights how many fantastic looking squiggly lines there are there....

 

[RaYzerman19]

Oh I dunno... looked pretty flat straight and boring to me.......... probably the on-ramps on I-75 are better.

 

[El Toro Joe]

After last weekend in FSB SE Ohio, I'm really looking forward to riding some twisty roads.

 

[clocklaw]

Oh No Extreme! Not the "EOM 500"?!?! Luvtoride's quote from last year sent chills up my spine. "Just like an ugly women, that 500 mile route has 10 foot pole marks all over it". )

Brenda and I really enjoyed the EOM 500.....it was a really long day 2-up and riding alone but on the other hand it was a really great ride....we had lunch in a little town called Damascus, VA.

Has anyone talked to the Maggie Valley hotel lately? I've been calling them for a few days now to add a few days to my reservation and no one answers the phone.

It's the number on their website and the number where I made the original reservations with. No big deal. It must be a Maggie Valley thing. Things are more relaxed in NC!

Ok! They finally answered. I'm getting there early and leaving later. I'm all set!

Are you sure you didn't drunk dial before?? I've heard that worse things have happened on the Forum...
