Great view DP thanks for sharing, dont know if i cud go close to the edge like you did mate hahaha...........we have some great montain views here too, ill try and find some photos for ya !!
@pasini36 Belgium certainly has some beautiful scenery, but the mountains and roads in western North Carolina are really spectacular. My favorite riding area for sure!
I can hear the local news now...”Biker falls mysteriously onto I-40, where did he come from”? DP, you are on the edge! Cool that you manage to locate those remote spots.
Is that a motorcycle dedicated GPS, or did you improvise?
Wow!! I can say that I drove past that place twice this year and never knew it was there. Will definitely be looking up the next time I drive along I-40.
@Wilks89 You can see the rock face clearly from I-40, especially if you pull off on the service road outside of the tunnel. It's pretty impressive from down below as well.
Incredible view!!! I wouldn't be surprised to find a few base jumpers manage to find their way to that one. Be a pity when gravity finally does win. Cheers!!!
Holy fear of heights Batman!!! Trust me, if that cliff goes and takes you with it, that helmet is wearing YOU for protection. There is another place near Asheville called "Buzzard's Roost" where a scene from the movie "Patch Adams" was filmed. Not quite as hard to get to and definitely not as scary. Nice vid DP.
@ToastToGo Inching up to the edge was pretty scary alright!
I stumbled across a few vids from a dualsport group down in NC, and a short clip from that spot was one of them. I figured out approx where it was from the view of I 40, then found it on a topo map.
Holy shit

@madwelshaber I was a bit nervous creeping up to the edge, but there was a tree to lean on. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten so close!

@Spacecoastz Haha - yeah, I was definitely on the edge that day!
My GPS is a Garmin Zumo 220 which is marketed for motorcycles. Maybe a bit of a rip, but it does have some good MC friendly features and accessories.

@TKTex1 I hadn't thought of it, but that could be a decent spot for base jumping. Easy access for your car at the bottom as well.

I keep missing this spot. Maybe I'll find it next time I'm over there.

@jmbean68 I was within a couple miles of it last spring, but didn't know of its existence at the time. Well worth a visit.
