Offroad is being modest. We started the day on hiway 80 (the Devil's whip), did the Parkway up to Mt. Mitchell, then back to Little Switzerland. By the time we got to the Diamondback (hwy 226A), he was in the lead, and I could barely keep up! That Beemer looked like a motocross bike as I was trying to keep the taillight in sight! We rode some twisties around my backyard (Lake James), then parted when he went back up the mountains on 181. Excellent day, with great rider! It was warm in the foothills, but only about 65 degrees up on Mt. Mitchell. Fortunately, we've had a high pressure here lately, and low humidity, with great visibility. Great riding conditions!
