I started from home and then I road to downtown Roanoke Va. The picture below is one of Roanoke’s more famous landmarks, the Texas Tavern. You can order “One With” (a hamburger with onions), or a “Hot With” (a hotdog with onions) or a bowl with (Chilly with onions), or the famous Cheesy Western. They are fond of saying “we don’t cash checks nor play with Bumble Bees” (this is one of their more famous posters mounded on the wall inside). Or you may also see the “we seat 1000 people 10 at a time” sign.


The picture below is taken at the foot on Mill Mountain. Go right and you go up Walnut Ave. to the Roanoke Star, from there it is a short ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I took the left turn onto Riverland-Rt116 Road. This Riverland road is located where the Roanoke River used to flow. The river was diverted to a new location for better flood control.

About two miles later you should pass this “warning ?”. Continue on Riverland-Rt.116 until it Ts into Rt122.

Shortly after you turn onto Rt.122 you will pass another landmark. This is a store connected to a popular dairy farm that still home delivers milk in the Roanoke area.

After about 10 minutes on Rt.122 you should come upon Smith Mountain Lake. You will cross over the lake on Hales Ford Bridge. I took a detour and road down to the Smith Mountain Lake State Park.

Sounds great. Unfortunately I can't see your images (on my iPhone). I could go a bowl with right now.

Cheers

Very true. .

I moved my pictures from my Onedrive onto PhotoBucket which seemed to resolve the issue with the Jpegs not showing up.

Cheers.

Respectfully, Ferret, hard to take a bad picture of a CB1100!

 

[the Ferret]

So true Cormanus. Sometimes I look at some of the pics people post of their 2013s and black 2014s and just think " Man that is a gorgeous bike"

 

[Cormanus]

Yep. Me too. They're all lovely.

I always love scanning this thread. Great photos everyone.

Nippy this morning. 36 degrees when I took off at 9 AM. Don't know if you can see it in this photo but there is frost on the grass.



turned out to be a beautiful morning.. cold but lots of sun. Not too much color yet but they are turning. This frost should get them going. We don't have mountains to take pics of but we have beautiful creeks. Got in 49.2 miles this morning.

Nice pics ferret. 29 F here this morning and very windy. No ride for me.

 

[EarsOnWheels_imp]

Spotted in SE DC. Could be good colors for the bike, no?

Nice pics. We had sunny but cold conditions but I had no time for riding this weekend. I hate it when I cannot get at least a 30 miles ride and especially this time of the year.

Managed to salvage some shots from the camera I crushed.

Lolo Pass, on the Idaho/Montana border:

A Morgan, right? I think it's the same model that Peter Sellers drove in "The Party." And it was just parked on the street in DC??

 

[EarsOnWheels_imp]

Just parked on the street! I spotted it from an exit ramp and looped around a few blocks to get to it.

Looks brand new. I wonder if it might be a kit car? Regardless, it is cool!

Edit... it is a kit, but not a cheap one!

 

[the Ferret]

JPT... You need more " stuff" lol

 

[Lord Popgun]

Its not a kit, its a Morgan 3 wheeler. The emblem is on the "hood". Check them out and open your wallets... Super 3 - Morgan Motor Company

to stay on a motorcycle topic, it has an S&S engine.
