Gold Wing GL1800 - riding in the Nantahala National Forest

I left Saturday morning for my ride from Robbinsville, NC (Tail of the Dragon / US129) to Palm Beach, FL and this is the last video of the trip and really the last nice mountain road.

I picked the road randomly looking at a map and Hwy 28 / US 64 were great. The below link is a little more about the area.

Ah, Hwy 28. Great road 105 miles long from Walhalla, SC to the Crossroads of Time at the start of Deals Gap, A friend of mine and his wife were married at Dry Falls, not to far from Bridal Veil Falls. Ridden those roads many a times. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful ride for sure. I used to live up at Fontana Dam. Miss it very much.

Dave, thanks for the comments. This is one of my favorite videos and one of the best roads in the area. I hope I'm there again in later summer or fall.

That sure was a beautiful morning.... as well as a great road. Liked the vi and the music. Makes me want to get on my Wing.

Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done. Enjoyed the BTO, too! There's some great riding in the thar hills... Cudos to those cagers that pull over so you enjoy your ride.

That's my ride to work. Not suprised to find a few videos of it, it is a great ride. They've stopped the big trucks from using it so much (except for the occasional unlucky one who finds himself on this road, semi coming down went over the bank to the right at the 1:00 mark, 80'+) but it still has it's bumps. Take it slow and learn the road, I see a few off the road every year and it is very dangerous.
