Blue Ridge Road Trip: Riding, Reflecting, Questing!!

[moose3971]

I am so f$#kin jealous, I've been to Tn 2wice in the last 6 yrs and never had my bike with me either time, I have got to get out there some time. Looked like fun the curves sort of reminded me of the twisties in South Dakota that was also a nice ride, not so much the ralley but the ride... RIDE ON MIKE, RIDE ON.

P.S. NICE SCRAPAGE,and u should be frickin stoaked, good job on those curves

@moose3971 Thanks, Moose!! I haven't watched this vid in a long time. Brought me right back. What an epic adventure that was!! Wish I could do a ride this year as well, but my wife's being out of work nearly a year and a hald makes the cost prohibitive. Damn economy!! Perhaps some day we can ride out there together?! Till then, stay safe out there, my friend!

Looks like you had a great trip. Glad you were able to make it. I have just poured a large glass of 12 year old Jameson to celebrate.

Slainte mhath.

[maikeli7]

Tapadh leat! (I cheated. I used Google, but I love Gaelic!)

Jameson! Oh, I'm drooling with envy! When I get home, I'll raise a glass of Balvenie in your honor!

Tìoraidh!

Hey guys,

Again a great video!

Dry road with lots off wet spots,concentration is needed I think.

You both deserved the pin,thats for sure,and its was even fun I believe.

Cheers!

Thanks, Rick! The pin quest ride was an unexpected bonus for us, as we got to see three great towns in Tennessee as a result, plus a wrong turn that brought us through Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Serendipity!

woo hoo! great vid! loved it! Balvenie....mmmm....love that too!

[maikeli7]

Mahalo nui!

And the scotch was 21 years old at that! A perfect salute to the successful completion of an amazing challenge.

[KeukaRyder]

Your FFG and scrapeage caused me psychological trauma....that I couldn't be havng as much fun as you guys. Also, I didn't get to have some Balvenie. Great stuff !!

[maikeli7]

Thanks, KR! The only regret I have about that entire trip is that it was so short! All the more reason to go back!

And that Scotch was perfect!

[blshears]

Scrapage dude!

[maikeli7]

It was awesome!!! :-D

[SgtBFGunner]

Nice! I can feel and understand your excitement down into my bones. So many people just don't understand or even know what they are missing. Your brother and sister riders/bikers know, no explaination necessary. Incredible Vlog, can't wait for the next installment... Ride Safe!

[maikeli7]

Wow! Thanks, man! It is so good to be understood!! After that ride, I really felt for the first time that I am a true motorcycle rider.  There is no way to describe the feeling of carving a perfect curve; it just has to be experienced. I am unbelievably fortunate!

Keep the shiny side up, brother!

Oh man! That was exciting footage. LOVED seeing your honest reaction! BTW, Welcome to Tennessee ! Makes my heart skip a beat knowing what I have in store for me next month.

[maikeli7]

Woo-hoo!! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm tellin' ya, it was really the ride of my life!!! You'll see!

[AchilliesWar]

[maikeli7]

Thankin' ya, AW! Night Train, eh? That's a sweet sled! If you can get out to the Gap, you'll absolutely love it!
