Jrod, you're too young for that kind of bike, LOL
I thought we had so much in common too. I used to ride rice burners. I used to blow bikes like that off the road. Those Hardly Ableson riders hated me.

I hear ya, but dude, there's some wicked Sport Touring bikes out there right now. I know you hate BMW you the car but they sure have some ridiculously good long distance bikes man.
For the record, I'm happy for you. The potential for something terrible happening to you on that thing is far less. Hopefully you guys will have some awesome memories. You do know that I live in some awesome motorcycling country right? I can tell you of some incredible rides to take in this area man.

Excellent! Looking forward to that. I'll help you with some awesome day trips dude. There's truly some great motorcycling around here.

No it's not. Me and the boys used to head out of Highlands, NC on US 64, to US 28 into Fontana Dam then into Deal's Gap, then double back to Cherokee, where we would get on the start of the parkway and ride that baby all the way up through Virginia. We would get off in Blacksburg, party for a day or two, then cruise on home. The Parkway rocks to ride on. But I swear the best road to ride on was 28 from Highlands, NC to Walhalla, SC. That sucker could test every bit of ability one has on a sport bike, LOL

Sweet. Milwaukee Iron. Did you get professionally fitted? Is it 1 1/2" long and 2* upright? You need one of those trailers for your clubs.

That's a great looking bike Jrod. A beauty for sure. Do Harley riders elsewhere do the greeting thing of dropping their left hand down as they pass each other or is that just in NJ?

Way too much traffic on the parkway in most of VA. The secondary routes around it are so much more fun. Our group regularly take route 56 out to Versuvius, VA and then either a northern or southern route before heading back east to Richmond. About a 400 mile day can be had without a mile on an interstate.
TC, I've only made one run down your way. I think the majority of the time was spent on 181 and 90 just north of Morgantown.

Cool. I think it's funny when guys on rice burners try to do it but get shut down.
