We kinda started this ride friday night with folks from Alabama,Indiana,Illinois,Texas,Iowa and Wisconsin ridin' in to my hometown we did a nice ride around Norris Lake in the dark. Saturday morning we crossed The Great Smoky Mountains and hit The Blue Ridge Parkway traffic was outstanding with very few getting in our way all day as we made our way to Blowing Rock,NC and then down to Lenior,NC for the over-night.First picture is from the highest point on the BRP.The weather all weekend was perfect I even got cold a few times as we crossed the BRP.






I'm no flower person but these are in full bloom all across the BRP and I must say it's a beautiful sight to see.I heard one person call them rhododendron and another call them mountain laurel as far as I know both could be the samething.



Another picture taken near Blowing Rock.



We hooked up with some more folks from our club in Lenior for the sunday ride. Paul ( Britman ) had a awesome ride planned out for the ride on sunday.





Santa don't need no stinking reindeer he rides a Valkyrie.



An impostor or imposter is a person who pretends to be somebody else we all know who the real Santa is .It would be cool being Santa you could  find out where all the naughty chicks live.....We met this guy up on the BRP and took the picture.Tom ( Santa ) on the left the imposter on the right.



A outstanding weekend ride that I needed and enjoyed...."The Money Shot " taken near where a BMW rider was killed saturday on The Blue Ridge Parkway when he was ran over at a over-look.I will add that saturday morning I was almost plowed over as well when a woman talking on her cell just about ran me over at a redlight in Clinton,TN.

Joe, Saw ya on the Blueridge. we were coming opposite way. When I hollered Joe as we went by when you were stopped at the accident. Heard ya holier back. Was that the accident you are talking about here were the BMW rider was killed? I saw a bke down but didn't know what happened.  Hate I missed that ride. Some of us just went out for the Blueridge Sat. We then rode the Cherahola Pkway/ Dragon Sunday. Keep me posted of any future rides. Also when want to get together on swapping out the lift adapters.

Yes I saw you  cooldude And yes Tom (Santa ) ask one of the cops as we detoured thru the over-look and they told him the rider was killed  Sad   We got " Return To Hillbilly Highway " in two weeks should be something to see that many bikes crossing those mountains of Va and WV.
