Bullseye and Muley Gil, thanks for those great photos...they bring back some terrific memories...
In late October 2004, I rode my beloved K75s the entire length of Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, all the way from Front Royal, Virginia, to and through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It was unforgettable. (A photo from that trip is my avatar here.)
With the tourist season being over, traffic was very light, and there were times I encountered more motorcycles than cars or RVs. At the end of my first day's riding (the light was fading and Bambi was coming out) I came down off the Parkway and spent the night in Buena Vista, Virginia. The next morning, bright and early, I went back up on the mountain, and for the first 17 miles of the day, I did not see another soul or another vehicle...I had that wonderful road all to myself!
I didn't take that many photos -- I was enjoying the ride so much I didn't stop very often -- but attached are a few of my favorites, including a highway sign like no other...
