- Rode with NC Stoney in the Western North Carolina Mountains on the first weekend of June. Our trip began with a ride up US Hwy 276 from Pisgah Forest, NC to the Blue Ridge Parkway on a beautiful stretch of road on a gorgeous late Spring day. Hope you enjoy.
Stunning scenery. Perfect motorcycle road and great weather. 👍
There are some super motorcycle roads in Western NC and North Georgia. I’m blessed to live in this area.
Twisties are great, but I enjoy scenery the most on rides. Very nice ride!
This was a great road. Like Stoney said in his vlog, it’s almost like riding through a tunnel with all the overhanging trees. Just a fun ride. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
Visibility is one key to being safe on the road, I believe in doing everything I can to make myself more visible. Anyway looks like a great place to ride and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Thanks for the video.
I totally agree about visibility. The more I can do the better. I’ll be equipping my motorcycle with LED’s all around soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
Only time I was ever on that stretch of road was a Saturday in July back in 2016. In a car headed to Bryson City to ride the train. We stopped at Looking Glass Falls, and it was crowded with swimmers. Just standing and watching the falls was great, though. Very peaceful, in spite of the noisy swimmers. Thanks for posting, RSMF.
It’s truly a beautiful area and even better on a motorcycle. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Beautiful part of the world.
LED’s make a huge difference for safety. I like people to be able to see me. Nice road.
I’m definitely putting LED’s all around on my bike. I was amazed at how bright Stoney’s lights were in my rear view mirrors. Thanks for watching and ride safe
That was a very cool ride!
Looks like a great ride and video thanks for sharing
It was a great weekend. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
I looked up Looking Glass Warerfall - looks like you can swim there. Agreed, building this roads was quite an accomplishment
I’m a civil engineer so I’m always thinking about these things when I’m riding these great roads and going over bridges and through tunnels. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
Nice to see you ride with Stoney, thanks for the beautiful roads. I have LED on my boulevard does make a very good difference I recommended it. ride safe guys
Let me know the brand and model numbers if you have them for the LED lights you put on your Boulevard. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Awesome video thank you. Agreed that that is as twisty I go too
I’m not much for the severe twisty roads. This route was all I needed. Thanks for watching.
Now that's my kind of road. definitely heading that way sometime this year. And I changed all the front lights on my Road King to Led, all the back lights LED with the scrob light modular from custom Dynamics. Makes me feel safer when I hit my brakes and the lights Flash in all different directions. 👍👍
I’m gonna do the same on my bike. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
Nice ride with NC Stoney, what a beautiful area...been wanting to go back and spend more time riding there...
You should come back and ride with me and Stoney some time. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Just watched Stoney's video of this ride. I'll be glad when 8 have enough experience to get up there and maybe join you guys on a trip.
We’d love to have you join us. It’s a great motorcycle road. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Another wonderful scenic ride, with two of my favourite Biker Chums! The ride reminds me of my Royal Forest Of Dean (Gloucestershire) local trips, some 20 miles South from me! 40MPH max sounds good when there are Deer, etc, around, ready to leap across the road! Many thanks again for the location shout-outs! I am following you closely on my Google Street Maps!...Take care, both!....😊...😊...!
Paul I always think of you when I’m calling out the highway numbers and cities where I’m at. I’m like you and like to look on maps to see where folks are riding on their videos. Thanks for watching and commenting as always. Ride safe my friend in the beautiful UK.
Thanks for sharing another great video. I hope to make it out there someday to enjoy the mountains in your area. And with videos like yours the want is getting stronger.
The rides in the NC mountains are awesome. I have Idaho and Montana on my list for places I want to ride. I’ve been to Boise and it looks like a good place to start heading north from. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
@@GARamblinMan I live on the other side of the stat near Yellowstone, but I have a ride planned over near the Boise area I hope to get to this year
nice ride guys .. Take Care
Very cool ride and great company. Road is amazing.
nice roads
Nice ride! I'll be upgrading to LED sometime next week.
That was the Davidson River on your left. Great trout stream.
It was a beautiful stream and great motorcycle road for sure. I’m jealous of you since you live so close to this great area!
GA Ramblin Man yeah, from lake lure to deals, I see tags from everywhere and I tell them , we'll all I had to do was get up and I'm here. Enjoy. Next time up run all of 28, from below highlands to deals it's a great run. Just remember, in the hills never shoot the apex. People have a tendency to cross over the line.
Sherry Setliff thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely ride that road soon. I always try to pay attention in those areas always looking out for the cars crossing the centerline. They seem to be looking at the scenery more than the road. I have to be careful not to do that myself on my motorcycle. Thanks for the info on Hwy 28 from Highlands to Deals.
A few of my friends rode there on Sunday.
Maybe I saw them! There were a lot of motorcycles out this past weekend. The weather was perfect for riding.
Cool ride gentlemen! I have been wondering if I should upgrade to the LED lights on my ‘19 Heritage...thanks for showing is around!
I’m definitely upgrading to LED’s all around. NC Stoney has a 2018 Heritage and he says the LED upgrade was a good thing for added safety.
What a beautiful ride you and NC Stoney were on, thank you so much for sharing and your commentary!! I have heard many stories about the Dragon and would like to try it some day but believe I will ride the Blue Ridge Parkway first. Yes 30 to 40 mph looks plenty fast on those roads with all the traffic and shade. When you upgrade to LED's I too would be curious what you go with as we have the same bike. Thanks Again and Keep on Riding Safely!
I’ll let you know the details when I get the bike equipped with LED’s all around. I recommend the Blue Ridge Pkwy highly. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Great Thank you I do appreciate that!!
Very cool roads! WHATEVER you do, don't say "Ketchup" to Stoney! LOL On your GPS, go to setting and check "Avoid Highways" and that might do it for you.
Us old guys have a hard time with all this technology. I’ll figure it out eventually. Thanks for watching and glad the hip is healing. Ride safe.
LED headlight is the way to go.
I ride home nights from work about 40 miles. The more light the better. Gorgeous roads.✌
It’s amazing how much brighter the LED’s are. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
That was an amazing road bro. You should definitely switch you headlight bulb to LED. It makes a huge difference on how people see you on the road. Ride safe!
I’m definitely switching out all my lights to LED. Stoney’s bike was so much more visible. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
I have yet to figure out how to get any GPS to keep me on the route I've picked or spec-ed out...This is why I don't have one on my bike, in the rare occasion when I have to find some place I'll use my phone GPS. I'm 100% for LED's they light better, are seen better, last longer and draw much less power.
Beautiful ride Doug...US276 looks like a nice relaxing bender
Us old farts have a hard time with technology anyway. I’ll figure it out eventually. US Hwy 276 was an awesome road. Pretty much all of those NC mountain roads are. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
@@GARamblinMan ....i have to agree, it was riding nirvana when I was in that area last fall
Great video man. I normally use my miata for “tearing up the twisties” and I never understood why people didn’t like roads like the dragon. But recently I got the opportunity to take a Yamaha stratoliner for a spin and it’s a HEAVY bike. After that I would agree that the dragon would not be a very enjoyable ride on a cruiser, especially a heavy touring cruiser. Anyone 276 looks like a nice ride. I’ll have to go for a drive on it
You should definitely check out this road. You’ll love it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
GA Ramblin Man if you haven’t ridden it yet 151 is a nice road off the parkway. I typically hit it then run over to bonfire bbq in Asheville
can't see the sights if you are flying along haha .. much rather be safe and enjoy the ride ..
Very true. Hard to keep your eyes on the road with all that spectacular scenery to look at. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Hold the tap button for 10 seconds on both units until they blink red, then tap once on either helmet and you'll pair.
Me and Stoney are just two old guys who have a hard time with all this technology.
Oh, believe me, I know how you feel.
Great footage! We're doing a video on NC roads. Could we us a few seconds of this footage and give you a credit link?
Yes of course! It’s an honor.
@@GARamblinMan awesome thanks! I see you have some nice Foothills Pkwy ridng footage we may be doing a SC video later this year I'll reach out again!
@@GreatMotorcycleRoads anytime! Love your channel.
Was this 60 FPS?
Yes. 1080p/60fps
@@GARamblinMan Yeah, did you just start running 60? I tried 60 but the buffering was high, on all my computers, and that's on a 100mb line. I went back to 30 on my vids because of it.
