any harley-davidson guys here?

Deadeye, Good luck with the new bike. (Can you make the picture bigger?)

Tom, I hear ya. Troubling words. Part of the course. Scarry thought thinking one of them could be crashing into me.

Other than that, great place to ride huh? Those other conecting roads are great! I'm gonna have to return one day for sure!
I found this book, er book(s) on all these awesome roads in NC, SC, Ga, Va, W. Va. OMG :-\" some cool roads! I highlighted most of them on my NC atlas . "Motor Cycle Adventures" series. One for the southern appalachains by Hawk Hagebak and another book from Dale Coyner. Probably some of the best roads for cycling in the country. I took tons of pics from my '06 trip. Pic 1-view of Cherahola Skyway still in NC..pic2: BRP at the Lincove viaduct bridge and pic3: we saw like 12 black bears in and around the SmokeyMtn Park. this guy came the closest at a pulloff early AM in the cooler highcountry. Was oblivious to us. It never made eyecontact. Saw a mama bear with triplets in Cades Cove but way too far for interesting photo.
