5 Day Motorcyle trip --- report

I left last Thursday and returned today Monday June 1st --- covered over 1800 miles hit a total of 5 states (FL GA NC SC TN)

Thursday -- Rode to Toccoa GA and stayed with the infamous Uncle Bob from our cross country ride. He, Sherry, and Buck (the dog)were great hosts and it was excellent to catch up with Uncle Bob

Friday Am I said goodbye to Buck and his "parents" and rode to Robbinsville NC and met up with some guys from the Motorcycle Forum. We headed out to Fontana Dam and the Dragon (318 turns in 11 miles)







I peeled of from the group and went on a 165 mile loop hitting the Dragon, the Foothills Parkway and the top of the Smokies(
near Clingmanns Dome)





Saturday we went to the Crossroads of Time, then hit the Hellbender and on to Franklin and Highlands (via 28) then down into SC and back to Warwoman Road to Clayton GA. Then on to Suches, Blue Ridge, route 60 & 68 to Tellico Plains then over the Cherahola Skyway to the cabin at the RIdge.





On Sunday it was raining in the AM then it let up and Steve,Franco and I headed out for a nice ride and some sight seeing.




We had Franco's R6 it is the pretty Yellow one




Steve took us to an incredible waterfall. (look at the guy in the middle -- double click to blow it up) this was a big set of falls - near the TN end of the Cherahola Skyway

















As the light faded we headed back up and over the skyway.
