I will be heading to Meeeechigan or I would join you.

215 both north and south of the parkway are freshly paved as of last fall - there are also some great cut across roads (281, 1756, 1324). 276 south of the parkway has had a lot of debris lately but north of the parkway has been fine.

209 from Waynesville to Hot Springs has finally been swept...therefore it's a fun road again!

ENJOY!!!!

Not going to push them too hard lol. Later people.
Have a good time and be safe. See you in Gettysburg.

Well let's see here, did 276 in Waynesville down to south of Brevard, hitting Sliding Rock, Blue Ridge Parkway and then 276 south just got better down in South Carolina. Came back up another twisty mountain road. Great time. Took our time and just enjoyed the roads. Came back towards Waynesville and show them the way back. Decided to go back and hit 215 south towards 64 and turned around hitting it again. That was Thursday. Today we added Jon and Clay from WV to the group. We all headed to the dragon doing 28 stopping at Deals for decals, then the dragon, the skyway and lunch at tellico grains always good before heading back to Waynesville. Dinner was awesome. If in the area the Sweet Onion is a must. "Unbelievable food. Had a 90 minute wait and it was worth it. Tomorrow hitting up 209. Going to be a short day for everyone. Hope that answers your questions Super Dave. The Mamba is back. All the mods and repairs are prefect. One thing for a Friday around the dragon and the skyway traffic was light. Of course our HOG friends love to hold up traffic, but did pull off for us. Later BD
