I always avoid commenting on these type threads because I happen to like All motorcycles, and I can definetly appreciate the beauty in a shined up HD, to the original post I too would be pretty Po'd if a 36k bike crapped out, no matter who made it. Just getting back from an 8 day ride I did notice one thing, there are a hell of a lot of HD dressers out there, probably at least 100-1 ratio of HD to Metric tourer on this trip. Every place we stopped there were large groups of HD's a few Wings and only 1 RSV, mine. So with that many on the road there are bound to be a few problems. I dont know if it was because we were in the South or what, but they all were very friendly and easy to talk with, a few were interested in the Venture. I dont know if they were having a rally down the Parkway or what, but there where alot of HD's and I didnt see anybody broke down.

Well we are back, first off I am glad I put the new Avons on rite before we left, they are great in the rain, and we did hit a little rain:yikes: also to Frogg Toggs they work great, did I mention it rained:rain2: We had a great time, stayed in some really nice places, had some awesome meals, and met alot of very friendly people. For some strange reason I had the oldie "Hello Mudda, Hello Fodda, here I am at camp Grenada..... playing in my head for a week:think: As far as pics, there really arent any good ones, if you picture being inside of a cloud with little to no lite, you get the idea. We stayed at the Pisgah Inn in Mt Pisgah, next year we are going to go back to see what it looks like:doh: Talk about a "Pucker Factor" leaving the Inn in zero visability in the pouring rain after 2 days and heading down the Parkway, lotta thrills, no spills:thumbsup: We encountered quite a few large groups of Harley riders, and they were all very nice, one group of 10-15 bikes stayed at the same Hotel in Blowing Rock, great bunch of guys, invited us rite into there group and made quite a few comments on the Venture. No bashing here:thumbsup: We really did see a different side of the Parkway, but in its own way it was still very beautiful and mysterious, we would actually get above the clouds and the sky was blue and sun was shining, but you would head down into the clouds and it would be smokey, hazy and rainy. I would watch the double yellow line and Kim would look out over the shield for deer or bear or turkeys, lots of turkeys!!!! I do want to Thank Rooster for meeting us and showing us around Black Mtn, it wasnt a real nice day and he was good enough to come out and show us around, Thanks Gerald! Inn at Natural Bridge, nice room, good food, bridge was cool Pisgah Inn, nice room, good food, they say its a great view?? Biltmore Estate is something to see! Blowing Rock is a cool little town, Azalea Inn gets 5 stars!!! Peaks of Otter, room is very sparse, pricey, good food. Craig

Thanks for the nice comments, it was sorta a last minute thing. Kim was able to get off next week, I just finished a job and had the week open and the weather looked pretty good, so we decided to take off. Havent had any problems booking hotels so I guess the area mite not be too busy, which is a good thing! Randy thank you for the kind offer, it is appreciated. We will be in Black Mtn around 4-5pm on Sun. if anyone in the area wants to meet for dinner? I do have your phone# just in case we need any help. Thanks, Craig
