Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Mountain

[calipo223_imp]

My Son is in the Navy in Suffolk, Virginia so I figured it’s a good time to do the Skyline and the Blue Ridge drive. I live in Saugus MA, so I had to take the highway down which is not too fun. The Skyline and the Ridge ride was beautiful. I felt like a million dollars driving the 600 hundred plus miles. Well worth it, the only hiccup was a car coming around a bend came into my lane and by avoiding the car I went off the road unto dirt and other matter and when i went to get back on the road and lost control of the CB and I went down. I had a full face on which absorbed the blow to My head and My motorcycle boots and thick leather absorbed the rest. I ended up with a couple of cuts and minor scrapes, and a large hematoma on the outside of my leg and my CB landed on its side, I have Honda crash bars and my CB only has scratches on the tank and windshield. I was able too finish My ride and visit My son and drive home to Saugus.. My only disappointment was that when I was down no biker stopped to help. A guy in a truck and a regular bike did stop though reaffirming my belief in humans. All and all a great trip and I’m glad My CB and I came back in One piece. This summer I am thinking of going back to Nova Scotia on the ferry and doing Cape Brenton highlands and the Cabot trail again while going by ferry to Newfoundland
