Howabusa Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 So, I haven't taken a long trip this spring. Planning on leaving Sunday for a 5 or 6 day sport touring and camping trip. I will probably run over and head down WV 16, love that road. Heading to the Gap and maybe the Blue Ridge. With the 3 hard bags and a dry bag on the passenger seat I should be able to camp anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I got back around 4 pm today. I rode a total of 1530 miles in 80 hours. Took WV 16 down to Marion, VA stayed at the Americas Best Value inn. Tuesday morning rode down to The Rattler, it was very gravely. Hit 215 north to south then rode 276. Tuesday and Wednesday night I camped at the Gap store. Made a couple of passes on the Dragon and then took the Skyway to get Krambonz for lunch. It was great, as usual. I forgot that the NC side of the Skyway was freshly paved. Then I went to Wheeler's and got 2 new tires. I knew that I was going to need a rear, but the front was done too. I rode back on the interstate today. Ready to go back down in 3 weeks! Edited May 18, 2017 by Howabusa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howabusa Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yep. I also went to Bald River Falls. All the years that I have been going down there, had never seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I noticed that the loudest vehicles on the Dragon were the tuner cars and the super motos that sound like they are running open pipes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I used to suggest hiking to tops of water falls. Not so much any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
