Title: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: the_Journeyman on October 27, 2013, 01:54:03 PM Took a nice ride on the Hawk today. The color hasn't been very vibrant this year unfortunately. Here's a few shots anyway.
Stated by heading up NC209. We do have a couple straight spots here in the mountains.

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7406/10522228554_ca097f6439_o.jpg) Fun with a cool Norfolk Southern railroad trestle. It's been re-done since my last visit.

This is near the southern end, between Balsam Gap and Soco Gap.

The fall colors look amazing in your part of the world. Nice looking moto too. Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: abby normal on October 27, 2013, 04:12:00 PM Nice hawk. Is that a supertrapp exhaust?
Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: Travman on October 27, 2013, 05:16:04 PM Wow. Impressive pictures.
Your Hawk is the best looking example I've seen. The blue is good compliment with all of that silver of the frame and engine. Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: ungeheuer on October 27, 2013, 05:40:15 PM JM, you've done it again [thumbsup]
Great pics, thanks for posting. I especially like this one... (http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3732/10522192185_ab561558d9_o.jpg) Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: the_Journeyman on October 27, 2013, 06:06:43 PM Thanks for the compliments! That Hawk is an absolute blast to ride. It's so easy to flick around, it just needs a bit better suspension. It's got just over 10,000 miles on it.
Nice hawk. Is that a supertrapp exhaust? Yea, it's a full Supertrapp system. Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: DarkMonster620 on October 27, 2013, 06:31:15 PM You do take great photos . . .

(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3732/10522192185_ab561558d9_o.jpg) +1. Quite an arty shot. Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: Curmudgeon on October 27, 2013, 10:55:10 PM Thanks, JM! Not all that different than my roads in VA below the mountains, but #2 reminds me particularly what I like about the roads near you in NC. Maybe it's the rock formations. ;) We've had a frost already and it's nippy but there's a rumor of a slight warm-up on Wednesday. If so, I'll head out to the BRP and hope to catch a little color if any remains.
Keep snapping! Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: geoffduc on October 28, 2013, 01:53:42 AM JM, you've done it again [thumbsup] Great pics, thanks for posting. I especially like this one... (http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3732/10522192185_ab561558d9_o.jpg) Have to agree with Ung, great photo's, thanks for posting... [thumbsup] Geoff... [coffee] Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: seevtsaab on November 02, 2013, 05:00:33 AM Very nice. I appreciate your taking the time out of a fun ride to snap some pics for us to enjoy!
We had some knockout color here in VT this fall, I saw some pics you posted earlier that didn't look too shabby. Love love love to see those twisty roads, you got that over us in spades! Keep safe, and keep posting! Title: Re: Fall Color Meandering. Post by: the_Journeyman on November 02, 2013, 05:19:31 AM This weekend will be the last of our color, hopefully I can get out tomorrow!

Post by: the_Journeyman on November 03, 2013, 04:52:07 AM Very nice! I've not spent much time in Maryland, looks like it's certainly worth a visit!
