Sugar & I are rollin' out Sat. morn (the 13th) from Knox-vegas Tn. over Newfound Gap & up the southern end of the BRP. Hope to make Waterrock Knob, Devils Courthouse, & Graveyard Fields jus' south of Asheville Nc. Lookin' for "peak color" above 5000'. (Yes ,we're both wearin' Gerbing, but weather is supposed to be great.)
Then back to Maggie Valley Nc. for an overnight at the Clarkton.

Holla, & safe winds!
Peace, Whiskey.

My wife's going to be riding two of my Valks this weekend, straight into our trailer. She loads better than I do.

We're going to load our toyhauler with everything but food, so we can just hookup at the end of February and head to Daytona.

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY! 

97 Valk bobber, 98 Valk Rat Rod, 2K SuperValk, plus several other classic bikes

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

whiskey,

I head out tomorrow for a non-motorcycle trip.  otherwise it sounds like a large time and i'd definitely be interested in making that ride.  U and Sugar be safe and enjoy!

Whisky that is great country. Love Wheels museum and the detail and story stuff that you get shown if you just ask the folks who work there  Been there twice and will return again next time I get to Maggie Valley area

But Gerbings  in October ?  You southerners blood is pretty thin     8)  What do you do when it gets BELOW freezing?   I will still be wearing the mesh jacket   :2funny:

Must be that lawyer, thick skin that does it for ya.  I had my Gerings on and working yesterday at 38 degrees..  So I guess I ain't as tough, but so be it. I prefer comfort, hehe.

to each his own

My hands get freezing  even when its not cold out
so I have heated gloves and will use the disposable heat pads in my boots as well

I turn on the heated grips on the beemer at 50 sometimes  If it is below 40 I use the hot setting lol
On the beemer I use the 400Thinsulate boots and no worries.

For some reason my body just dont get cold on the bike unless its really cold out

Maybe it is the lawyer skin after all

I am planning to head north tomorrow.  I don't have a particular route planned except to be going through Kentucky and on up into northern West Virginia.  I hope to get a photo of my Valk in front of those old time gas pumps in Kingwood and then meander back south by way of the old covered bridge at Philippi and whatever else calls to me as I ride.

Sent you a reply to your email.  We are heading out Friday for Hiawassee Ga for 10 days.  Trying out a new Campground and area looking for new roads to ride.
Be safe, have fun.
