Great ride report Matt and glad you guys had a good time. When you are talking about the next trip an hour after the last trip, you know it was a success. Congrats.

And for my little part you are welcome...and thanked right back. It was fun. Lets do it again sometime.. I have more roads Wink

Fantastic ride report, Matt. I've enjoyed nearly every mile. Did I get the faint sense there was a lot of wind on the way home? Pity.

Thanks for the maps. You've saved me a job, although I'm still interested to see how I can use Google maps to plot a detailed 1,800 mile trip.

Cheers

Great photos and ride report! Makes me want to get out for a long trip. We haven't done one for awhile.

Just was rereading this report because of Motogeezers stay at Two-Wheel Inn and noticed this comment from OldF7Guy. Made me a little said to read this and very sad that I missed the only chance I would have to ride with him.

RIP oldF7Guy.
Rode the Gap today. People watched there for over an hour. Had lunch at the TapocoLodge.com not too far from there. Also rode the Parkway, Joyce Kilmer and a bunch of other excellent little traveled side roads in the vicinity with some friends who know their way around. Staying at their place in Knoxville for a couple days. Good riding!

I think probably everyone thinks he's a she at first LOL
Weather has been nothing but perfect the whole trip.
There was some late afternoon rain forecast for today, I need to get an update on that.
