Caesar's Head Ride

By -
What a day! John and I took a ride today up to Caesar's Head--a beautiful spot in the mountains between South Carolina and North Carolina. It goes without saying that bikers were abound in the hills, taking advantage of the sunny, yet a bit nippy day. All in all, we rode about 315 miles which took us about 8 hours with stops for refueling (bikes and bellies) and rest here and there. This was my test ride for our upcoming trip in a couple of weeks to the Blue Ridge. We can't wait!

Hey Lisa, I am nuts with anticipation to get on this ride; I need the break.

I ordered highway pegs for my R1200, as well as the Corbin seat (which I'm liking) and some handlebar extenders (the corbin seat changed my posture a bit and I'd like the bars to come back a bit).

I've ordered a radar detector (a must for me) and a sound mixer so I can listen to my IPOD and the radar detector simultaneously and the navigator will over ride both.

I ordered also a flat tire repair kit just in case.

I have all my luggage and new tank bag ready to go.

Can't wait, see you then.

Continued scouting!

Hey guys, Brian and I made a one day scouting trip to the Smokeys. Did 335 miles. The roads were in great condition. Some sand and salt, but ice free and gravel free. The temps hit 64 degrees. Dry falls, near "Bridal Veil Falls" where we stop for pictures, is now open with a fine parking lot. It would be a good place to stop with a sack lunch to eat by the falls. Here's a few pictures.

The 2010 Smoky Mountains ride has come and gone. It was a great turn-out this weekend requiring four cabins to house everyone. The initial forecast predicted rain, and that we got, along with some nasty fog on Friday. But for a good bit of the time we had beautiful skies, sunny and hot. I'll just put these few photos here for now and post more with more comments later when I've got a bit more energy. But I do want to thank Rob for organizing this again. we really appreciate you, Rob! And Jean kept us all well fed to the point of busting! Thanks, Jean! You're awesome! I really enjoyed hanging out with the ladies and children on this trip. It was great to see so many this time.

My New Bike BMW F800

FINALLY! We went and got me a new bike today. We bought it in Charleston. Oddly enough, it was between this and the new Honda Phantom 750 (which I still like!). Of course Tuni kept going on and on about this one, and a man at the dealership (not an employee) looked at me and said "cruisers suck!" I hit him in the arm, but still ended up with this baby. Now I just have to go get my motorcycle license so I can drive it! So next year, I'll be riding the Smokies, too!! Whoohoo!
