Things I learned on this trip.
1. The Blue Ridge Parkway is the absolute slowest way to get anywhere.
2 Don’t get on the wrong side of sweettennbabe!

Last time I rode the BRP I figured that the 30mph speed limit was for 4 wheeled vehicles, and as I was driving a 2 wheeled vehicle I could double that, and add 10mph for fun. Was I not correct?

Agree on both counts

Dang, tire looked like almost brand new when I left home, I hate riding interstates and wearing out the center, we were looking at chicken strips after the dragon, everyone was within 1/4-1/2 inch of the edge, too, and it still looked ok. But a weekend in the mountains isn't enough to offset 1600 miles of interstates on top of living in the flatlands.
Glad I looked over the bike today, I was going to go for a ride.

The dark side is calling. . .

I'll put a steering wheel on my bike before I'll run a car tire. I'd trailer if it wasn't for Dave and Dan riding with me.

Sure it wasn't Bodacious. (No idea how to spell it)

Bocephus was the nickname given to Hank Williams Jr. by his dad because he thought he looked like a TV ventriloquist dummy named Bocephus.

The advantages of less power. This bike is heavier than a R3 and most of the miles are 2-up plus luggage, so it's not the weight that does them in. Almost 12,000 miles on this rear tire & still going.
