After riding in the Appalachians, does it make riding back home feel kind of lackluster? We have similar scenery here but unfortunately can't (legally) ride any of it. There's a few guys I know that go down to West Virginia and rural Pennsylvania every year for riding the mountains.
Yeah, that's possibly why I go to Tennessee 4-6 times a year. There are several other states to explore that have great riding in that area. Might be why I'm considering moving down that way.
I forgot to post this one. First ride in Tennessee after rebuilding/painting. Probably more than half way through the ride and still getting used to the new power and delivery. Coming around a sight right hander with a little 2 track tire rut to use as a berm. Rut was not deep at all. I was a little on the inside of the rut so figured I'd use the throttle and rear tire to kinda slide more into the "rut" that wasn't really there. When I throttled er she came right on around in a big ol power slide. Totally unexpected by me, I was along for the ride. Bike ended up facing the opposite direction we were going and slid down into the low side berm that was about 3+ feet deep. Notice the orange paint in the dirt above the rear fender. The scratch in the dirt where my handlebar sits came from the foot peg.
