Who's riding this weekend?

I'm still headed up to Busch Gardens tomorrow. Sunday afternoon and Monday are lookin' freeeeeeeeeee!

Has anyone done the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline drive?  I'm about to take my crf230l for a ride through rt 460, BRP, Skyline, to Loray Caverns and ending my trip at my parents house in Bristow (near manassas).  Are there plenty of fuel stations on Skyline, my CRF only carries a limited amount of fuel, about 150-160 miles to a tank and i'm debating if I should tote around a extra gal of fuel.  Should take 12 hours if I take pictures and enjoy the the open road, I hope the leaves turn colors by the time I leave.  (sep 12th.)  I'll ask other cam'rs to see what they say.

Angelo,
Sounds like a great ride. There's no fuel ON Skyline, but there are exits off of it every 20-40 miles where you can find gas, and a snack.
We took Skyline back from Winchester earlier this year in the MINI Cooper. Great road, curves"R"us!

Just watch out for tourists.

Angelo,
That sounds like an awesome ride...Wish I was hanging with you on that one. Are you guys up for a Sunday scoot. I finished my finals tonight so I am free some of Sunday.

I did Skyline on my s4 last summer. So many turns, it was crazy. The speed limit is 35 or something like that. Too slow. The cops are out there too buddy. I'm pretty sure I remember there bieng fuel ON Skyline(government owned), with gift shops attached to 'em (ca ching). There are plenty af exits and scenic pull-offs. We stayed in Waynesboro, the southern starting point of Skyline. Thats a pretty cool town. Oh, It does cost $15 or something like that. I was suprised by that.

Didn't know you have to pay to ride, but I guess its for a good cause!  I may tote around a half gal. fuel tank for insurance.  I'm not worried about speed since I'm on my dual sport and I will be doing some sight seeing.  I may do this ride again if the fall colors are not out....Group ride anyone hehe

Hi fellas, my name is Mike and I live on the other side of the HRBT in Yorktown.  Although I have ridden MX and other dirt bikes  [moto], I am new to street bikes.  I just bought a 08 S2R 1000 Monster and love it.  Still getting used to it, but would love to go on a ride with you sometime.  I hope to put some Termis on it and a Sargent seat in the near future. Here's a pic of my latest obsession.

Hi Mike, nice bike!

We won't hold it against you for living on the "wrong" side of the water.
Shoot, wish you'd posted last night, My wife and I rode out to Busch Gardens today. We could've met up.

Any good twisty roads out your way?
Jeff

Hi Jeff.  Taking the Colonial Parkway from the Yorktown Battlefield into Williamsburg is a fun ride.  Not very twisty but the scenery is nice.
