No, it wasn't a boat trip, but we did see a bunch of lakes and rivers. My next younger brother and I met our youngest brother in Wytheville, VA, at the Harley shop (where else?), where they tried their damndest to talk me into buying a Harley. They can't seem to understand when I tell them my Guzzi corners better, accelerates better, and is easier to work on than the Harleys. "But it's twenty-one years old!", they say. Yeah, that's true, but with a little less than 60K miles on it, it's still a youngster. Anyway, to the trip. Had to start with a 'ready to roll' shot in the garage... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...eadytoRoll.jpg Took this shot while waiting for youngest brother to show up. Brother Robert is on the left. He's coming up next year to do 'Rolling Thunder' together. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...akinaBreak.jpg Part of our trip was on the Natchez Trace Parkway. As can be seen, it's not an exciting motorcycle route. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...aceParkway.jpg or... http://tinyurl.com/25smyf3 But it did have nice rest stops where youngest brother told us how close he came to getting nailed by a truck. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...bythismuch.jpg or.. http://tinyurl.com/24w6st7 We left the youngest brother in Memphis, and Robert and I headed back to North Carolina, which has roads almost equal to West Virginia for motorcyclists, along with some great views. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Whataview.jpg and, http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...olinaRoads.jpg or... http://tinyurl.com/2995yqo Of course, great rides can have their crappy times also, like riding for a half hour behind something like this can be... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...agreatride.jpg or... http://tinyurl.com/28hx9ua We had a great time. Already talking about next year's trip. Great shots of a nice trip, John! |

We're semi-planning to go to this neck of the woods this fall - before the leaves come down. http://www.visitwv.com/downloads/swvcvbareamaplarge.pdf Looks like some fine roads in the Southwest West Virginia area. -- 'Illegal Alien' is to 'Undocumented Worker' as 'Crack Dealer' is to 'Pharmacist'.
