Made the trip down the Skyline Dr and the Blue Ridge Parkway,... WOW, 12 years ago already.
Taking a full week is doable, any less and you might as well take the X-way.

I ordered the America Rides Maps several years ago. A very good set of maps. I use them whenever I Ride in that part of the country.

"Block of rooms are held under "GoldWingDocs" at $89 per night if staying 3 nights, otherwise $92.75 per night. Get a roomie and the rates become half. All rooms will be held until August 1st 2019, with 72 hour cancellation." Sept 11th to Sun the 15th,... Wouldn't that be four-nights ? Would the ra...

Well, looks like I've missed a lot here! Been working my tail end off since the last one. Looking forward to the trip (just not sure I'm quite ready for the "Dragon"). Keep us posted. Not a Biggie if you don't Ride The Dragon. ALL the roads in that part of Tenn/NC make a Great Ride. The weekend is ...

There IS one planned Al...

I'm sorry I just noticed this post... I buy quite a but from Amazon. I'll try to use this 'bookmarked link' from now on. It's a challenge for me though. I just switched to a new laptop with Windows 10 and having a very hard time with it. I can't even find my bookmarks most of the time and when bookm...

The "FAVORITE RIDE" section in this months Rider is an article entitled, "Virginia's Blue Ridge". This northern section isn't ridden as much as the NC end but like the southern end has some very beautiful views. If your not a subscriber it's worth going out and buying this issue for this article al...

Maggie Valley would be a nice day ride and culminate with a visit to the motorcycle museum. Justa heads up,... Wheels Through Time Museum,... Ya just can't do it justice trying to see it at the 'end of the day'. https://wheelsthroughtime.com/ Three or four hours, you'll still wanna come back. I per...

Al, Maggie Valley is certainly a great area to Ride in but personally I found the hotels to be a little on the high side. I don't know anything about Little Switzerland. In past years, I have stayed with groups in Robbinsville and Franklin, NC and was happy with the prices and certainly the area to...

OK, WHO DID IT?? My CC has been compromised...AGAIN! Over the last two/three days there have been some charges on my CC mostly from Georgia but one from NY state also. This happens every year or two. Discover ALWAYS is Great and removes the erroneous charges immediately, cancels my account and send...

I'm finally Home after stopping at a couple of places in Indiana and another near Hillsdale, MI to see old friends. It was great meeting and making new friends at this the 2nd annual GWDocs Gathering. Looking forward to next years gathering where ever it may be. If I may make an early suggestion,.....

I made it 'part-way' home. I stopped in Bellefontaine, OH to see and old friend. (he's aging gracefully) Tonite I'm in Celina, OH waiting for my favorite restaurant (The Fountain) to open at 4:30am. I may not (read WON"T) be there that early but later when my retired local farmers come in for their...

Looking forward to the Ride today. Yesterday there were some that were interested in purchasing the T-valve stems for their bikes and/or trailers when they use an external tire pressure monitor (TPM) such as the FOBO Bike. They are available from CycleMax for the very handy sum of TWO for $20 PLUS ...

It's a pretty interesting place James. I learned about it from "Roadside America (dot) com" https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/15949 There is another Roadside Attraction I thought was interesting that I saw on the same Ride, Ray Charles bronze statute in Greenville city park. https://www.roadsidea...

My wife and I were thinking of attending the 2nd Annual gathering. Is there a formal schedule of activities? What time rides depart, vendor area opens (if any), any other activities that might be planned? Is there at least one ride per day? How large of a group was in attendance last year? Cost to ...

Hi cruiser, Actually, my camera works great; it's only the interface with the iphone that doesn't work but I can relate to your frustration. What camera are you using now on the bike if any? Look forward to seeing you in September. I did find this... https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/bullethd-b...

I used an Android phone. Never could get anything to download. I forget the company I bought it from... offered to buy it back from me also sent me a new upgraded cord between the camera and controller but I had already promised to sell it to someone that wanted it. He couldn't get it to work either...

Jim,
I hate to tell ya, this camera is JUNK! I didn't know it was still available.
I had one 2-3 years ago. It never did work right.

Everything's cool! The Corkster and I will be sharing a room for the four-nights. We both plan to arrive on Wed the 12th. Looking forward to meeting everyone and enjoying SE OH and W-Va. For you guys that have never been to W-Va, you won't be seeing it all on this Ride. If you flattened W-Va out,......

I went ahead and reserved a Double Queen room for 4-nights. (Sept 12th and leaving Sept 16th) I reserved using the block of rooms that Brian reserved for us under the "GoldWing Docs" group name. The $95/night rate did not include the 12% in taxes for the Gov so total for one night comes to $106.40 ...

I think a bellypan is a good idea and have used one for years. They do get dinged and dented over the years (maybe that shows why they're needed at all) and maybe should be replaced once in a while. Macgyver was a fellow on another board (don't know if he's on this one or not) who made them in his ...
