Got into Asheville NC an hour and a half after dark again tonight but the local traffic on the Blue Ridge Parkway was quite heavy so no deer at...
I’m 57. I’ve faired pretty well going that long without hitting a deer. But if 1) I had to hit one eventually and 2) it would happen during a...
Amen brother! I honestly consider this a bonafide miracle! I was just praying fervently for protection from collisions with wildlife minutes...
I hit my first deer in my life on the Blue Ridge Parkway tonight. I’m on my second day of riding from Virginia to Orlando FL and back. There...
Probably! I’m visiting friends in Orlando and Ave Maria.
I’m leaving for Florida Monday morning: [ATTACH]
Thanks. I just added a 1” thick exercise mat under the roof top tent mattress for extra cushioning but also to insulate the floor. It’s a pretty...
This is a roof top tent I mounted on a small motorcycle cargo trailer frame as a cheap light diy pop up motorcycle camper. In 2016 at age 50, I...
I finally finished the trailer. Once I put the tongue jack wheel on a bathroom scale, I realized it had 75 pounds of tongue weight, way too much...
The local northwest Virginia weather forecast for the beginning of my trip looks nice and mild: [ATTACH] My friends here were sitting around...

It looks like it’s less than an hour from the southern end of the BRP to Robbinsville so it’s very doable, but taking that Skyway itself might...
Just out of curiosity, is there any cell phone signal anywhere on Skyline or the BRP?
The gas issue has been on my mind since I started thinking about doing the BRP last year. My tank only holds 4 gallons. I usually get 50mpg so...
I rode the Silverwing this morning in sunny but windy 37 degree weather and I’m tolerating it so I’m more at ease about that aspect of it now....
Beautiful!
I’ve already seen multiple deer and bear riding on Skyline Drive. I have a lifetime disability pass to the National Parks so I ride it often....
It does get decent mileage but I’m planning on getting 40 mpg pulling this 240 pound trailer. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a little lower than...
The Burgmans are notorious for transmission failures, the 650 more so than the 400 from what I’ve read. In comparison the Silverwings are very...
I did a little internet digging. Apparently Desert Fox and Giant Loop are the ones I saw online a while ago: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Apparently there’s...
