Riding the Blue Ridge
Just returned from a 6 - 7 thousand mile trip on my 2010 Wing. My nephew and I rode the Blue Ridge from Cherokee, NC to Front Royal, VA. Since my nephew has a 200-mile butt, a two-day trip turned into four days

We did not stay on the Blue Ridge but in towns off the beaten path.
One word of advice, do not sightsee while riding!! Sightseeing is strickly for the passenger!! Stop at the overlooks if you have a need to see the scenery, but do not rubber neck while riding. I learned the hard way

I took my eyes off the road for just a second to look out over the vista instead of pulling into the overlook parking area. I casually looked to the right and admired the view and the bike was suddendly on the grassy, road-shoulder of the overlook parking lot. The Wing went into the shimmy-shimmy shake mode and I though I was going to sail over the road's edge into nothingness! However, at the edge of the overlook's driveway there was a lump of asphalt and when I approached it I gunned the Wing, hit that lump and jumped back into the center of the road. At the next info center I stopped for a rest and bathroom break. I found there souviner items expensive; however I did get a decal for my helmet of a "stick-man" flying off his motorcycle as it went over the side of the Blue Ridge.

The sticker was $4.00 bucks incl tax; my souviner of the ride of all rides.
Have fun on your trip, stay safe and leave the peeping to the better half.
Later,
