Blue Ridge Parkway - LongRanger_imp - 05-31-2019 The BRP has nothing on Colorado. Oh, wait. Blue Ridge Parkway - Django - 05-31-2019 Nice find! Gesendet von meinem Moto G Play mit Tapatalk RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - Cormanus - 05-31-2019 Brilliant. The question now is: did they insert the sign in the BRP picture or erase it from the Mt Evans one? RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - Bazbro_imp - 05-31-2019 Despite being English, I'd heard of the Blue Ridge Mountains (maybe from these guys? https://youtu.be/qkgyvNi0Fyw ). But then my Son went to live in Asheville and I got to drive on it. What struck me were the views, with layer upon layer of various- hued blues of the hills stretching away into the distance. Spectacular and they are well-named. I would have loved to have ridden that beautiful highway. RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - The A-man - 05-31-2019 I'll be riding on the BRP this morning -- will look for where this scene was painted! (ha,ha) RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - Houtman_imp - 05-31-2019 The BRP is my favorite place to ride and I am lucky living only 6 miles south of an entrance to it. My riding friends and I meet up 3 to 4 times a week at the BRP. RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - the Ferret - 05-31-2019 Ive ridden both, they do not look anything alike lol RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - LongRanger_imp - 06-01-2019 I'd say the Mt Evans characterization is fake, certainly due to the topography, but also because motorcyclists are required to wear eye protection in Colorado (though we don't have a helmet law). The smiling dude in the photo doesn't have his goggles on. I imagine some souvenir factory in China uses this stock photo for all of their orders. I'll bet there's a Black Hills, SD kitchen magnet featuring this same scene. Probably one for Laconia, too. But Daytona? I'm guessing not. RE: Blue Ridge Parkway - Offroad - 06-01-2019 Good catch! I like both of them!
