BLK Monster/High Mounts/ on HWY 209 towards Hot Springs

[BastrdHK]

Hey,

Saw a guy on a black monster on HWY 209 towards Hot Springs riding with, I am assuming GF, on a blue ninja 250.

We live on 209, so let me know if your interested in meeting up the next time.

Wasn't me, but you live on 209?  I grew up in a community off of 209.  You turned off just after the CID fire department.  What community are you in?

Hey JM,

Use to live there, was just for 6 months.  I would like to go back to that area some day......awesome riding!  We were between Fines Creek and Spring Creek.  The little corner store Fergesons is trying to promote that stretch of 209 to bikers.  The call it "The Rattler", gets a fair amount of moto traffic already.  One of the best roads I have ridden in NC, next to 421.

Yea, that is a great ride.  I would ride 209 and then pick up NC63 in Trust for some more fun!

63 is tough, especially toward Asheville! some of those downhill, tighter than an accountant right handers don't jive with me.  I need to flow a little bit.  209 is about perfect even though it gets very tight in some places, overall it flows very well.
