Title: Took a ride today. Post by: the_Journeyman on May 22, 2011, 06:33:29 PM NC215 & the BRP between NC215 & Soco Gap. This is my "local" stretch of BRP. Whole ride was only about 70 miles, but I took lots of pictures. I am surrounded by awesome scenery.

(http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/215-BRP%20Ride/DSC_0088-1200.jpg) Watch for the spiral turns!

Found a "New screen saver of the week", thanks. Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: redxblack on May 22, 2011, 07:31:39 PM You have some wonderful roads, and best of all you seem to really appreciate that fact. Happy riding!

Great pics..can't wait to ride the BRP with you T_J! Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: jvax on May 22, 2011, 10:37:18 PM Nice pics and thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a fun ride :) Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: DucDodgers on May 23, 2011, 06:41:56 AM Wow great roads to bad you're in such a dangerous area (judging by the bullet holes on your tank). Plus you got the fastest color monster [thumbsup].
Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: the_Journeyman on May 23, 2011, 03:52:53 PM Thanks for the comments folks! I do have great roads and try to enjoy them as much as possible!
IZ - I'm 20 minutes from the southern-most part (where the pics are from) of the parkway, anytime you're passing through I'll try to catch up with you, even if it's just for a few miles! DucDodgers - The dents from the previous owners lowside was just calling for the bullet hole stickers. I've thought about adding a few other small "bomber" type accents. Yellow is awesome.

JM Still thinking about moving there. Take the whole ride up to The Dragon! Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: seevtsaab on May 24, 2011, 10:25:30 AM yeah, you suck!
You should do about 4 hours penance on the slab. Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: dark_duc on May 24, 2011, 12:41:22 PM Awesome pics! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: orangelion03 on May 24, 2011, 01:12:46 PM Sweet road and views!
Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: DucatiBastard on May 24, 2011, 07:21:04 PM Many thanks for the beautiful pics
Also, in the pic of the headlamp close-up, are you doing Jazz Hands? Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: the_Journeyman on May 25, 2011, 01:35:56 PM Nah, that's my elbows sticking out as I hold the camera up [laugh]
JM Title: Re: Took a ride today. Post by: gOoIe B on May 25, 2011, 02:23:37 PM awesome pics! A few of those spots are familiar to me. Been too long since I last rode out there though. Will have to go again this year... soon!
