I loved Lewis Grizzard. Didn't read much of his newspaper articles but highly enjoyed his standup routines. He was a Southern Gentleman. Nice ride that 136. Ride safe.
GA Ramblin Man you guys are really blessed to have roads like that and scenery like that to ride in. What a beautiful day for a ride. Thanks for another great video. Your bike still looks like a new one 👍
I always keep my motorcycles and cars and trucks in like new condition. I guess I inherited that from my Dad but I love driving and riding shiny new looking vehicles. My wife calls me Felix sometimes. Ha!
I stumbled across this video this morning, good video! I live in Gordon county and ride burnt mt often. Way back in 1974 I rode across on a 1970 cb 450. At the look off, if you look just to the right of sharp top, you can see the sky scrapers in Atlanta and to the left you can see stone mountain. If it's clear, clouds and hase interferes with the view. It's still one of my favorite rides. Thanks for the blog! T
There are some great roads in North Georgia for sure. I grew up in Rome, GA - not too far from Calhoun. I ride up your way when I get on Hwy 411 and go north up into Tennessee. Thanks for watching!
I stumbled across this , glad I did , good stuff . I had C 50 C for a while , great little bike , smooth , and comfy . You are correct, the Blue Ridge Parkway is the best place I have ridden . Absolutely beautiful, Cheroholla Skyway is also beautiful. Ride safe , thanks for sharing .
I have the Cherohala Skyway on my list of rides to do. I could do it from my house in one long day. I just need to get a day off and I’m going to check it out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
@@GARamblinMan I rode my Suzuki C 50 for 4 years , I had four H-D 's at the time as well . I just traded two softail's in on a new 107 Heritage with all the chrome , no blacked out anything . I do believe I will love it . Check out a new one in chrome , ride safe .
That was such a tragic thing. I was just in New Hampshire last summer riding and it’s a beautiful place. We all take a risk every time we get on our bikes but this is really unimaginable. May they all Rest In Peace.
One of my favorite rides around here. The overlook needs some serious attention from the DOT to clean it up. Really distracts from the great view. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
The humidity sure is thick down there. I was visiting my uncle in Florida a few years back and it was 101 F and super humid. I saw the guy on the news and what are the odds of being hit by lightning when riding a motorcycle. What’s sad is the seven riders that were killed in NH yesterday. Ride safe bro.
Viper6 I just read about the bikers in New Hampshire who were killed. Looks like truck was going wrong way in wrong lane and it was probably head on. Very sad. I was in New Hampshire last summer and it’s so beautiful there.
Another great video. Just the kind of road I love, great scenery, sweeping curves and most of all no traffic. You have a real gem there. Thanks for sharing.
I was surprised there wasn’t more traffic. I guess the rain later in the day that cane scared a lot of folks away. It was great to have the roads to myself. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
Agreed another great scenic ride & share...Thank you. Concerning the motorcyclist hit by lighting Yes that was quite a tragedy it was on our local news for a few days. Concerning Stoney's comment there was a motorcycle officer that was hit in the helmet by lightening about 4 or 5 years back and he did survive. One of the local stations did a follow up story on him, I just caught the end of it. But it appeared any injuries he had were not permanent.... Very Lucky.. I guess it was not his time. But around hear if storms start rolling in its always a good idea to seek shelter and wait them out. Just way to much lightening with our thunder storms. Just curious what type of long sleeve shirt were you wearing in the video, was it a certain type riding shirt? Thanks Again and keep on riding & vlogging safely.
Ric - the shirt I had on was one I bought at an Indian dealer that’s a moisture wicking fabric that’s very lightweight and comfortable in hot weather. It also had loops in the sleeves you can put your thumbs through and that keeps the sleeves tucked in your gloves. That keeps your arms protected from the sun. I should have had a jacket over it but it was just too hot.
Thank you, I will check out our Indian Dealer. I am always on the look out for Summer riding wear. I got in a 115 mile ride yesterday in Seminole & Volusia Counties. we started at 8:30 am but it was 94 and muggy when we finished at noon. I had some COOL R under gear on (from Cycle Gear) and a long sleeve hiking shirt, & Gloves but no jacket. All the Best to You!!
I've enjoyed your videos. Those winding roads are beautiful, but one thing that scares me is the possibility of deer strikes. Wondering if you or others have any suggestions about that risk? About the best I've come up with is avoiding early morning and evening times, as well as higher risk times of year, such as now (October) and April. But it's a danger that shakes me up because the deer population is exploding, and if they dart out in front of (or into you), there's little chance.
I’ve had deer run across the road in front of me a couple times. But they were far enough ahead I was ok. That is one reason I don’t ride these country roads at night.
Awesome beautiful area, been as far down south on the bike, Tennessee, from Skyline drive and all of BRP. The news about being struck by lightning made headline news everywhere, CRAZY, I guess you maybe right about numbers up, never aver heard of that happening, all the best.
The roads in Tennessee and NC are awesome through the Smoky Mountains, but the foothills and mountains here in North GA are pretty good too. And close by for me. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
I ride the other end of GA 136 a lot between Dade County and I-75 in Resaca. It is a beautiful ride. Ride up to Cloudland Canyon sometime and I’ll buy you a coke.
Beautiful Scenery. The exhaust of my Indian sounds better IMHO! I have logged many MANY miles in them there hills! People gp there from all over the world. T.W.O. is fantastic! If you see Susan G. tell her I said hello!
I loved Lewis Grizzard. Didn't read much of his newspaper articles but highly enjoyed his standup routines. He was a Southern Gentleman. Nice ride that 136. Ride safe.
I read all his books. He was a great writer and stand up comedian. He was gone too young. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
@@GARamblinMan I have not read any of his books. What are his books about?

Yep nice ride. I took it from Gainesville over to I 75. That overlook was pitted and ruff. Hope it's better now.
One of my favorite rides around here. The overlook needs some serious attention from the DOT to clean it up. Really distracts from the great view. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
If you haven't already, you should ride Highway 348, between Helen and Blairsville.
That road is on my list. Thanks for watching and the recommendation.

Yeah hwy 136 is great road. Its starts at Alabama near town of Trenton
I want to ride west on it. I haven’t been past Jasper yet. Some great roads around here for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.

136 from Dawson to Jasper is Burnt Mountain. Nice road to ride on a bike.
Did you wave at Bill Elliot as you went by his shop?
It’s a beautiful area to ride. Awesome Bill from Dawsonville. Great nickname for Bill. Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I'm from dahlonega... maybe we will see each other on these roads soon...my next adventure is riding the Georgia gauntlet with my brother..
I get through Dahlonega occasionally. Great roads in our area. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe.
Alton Gage Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
Hey George, I was just on 136 this morning going to BJ Orchards. Is that far from there?
Very close. It’s a great area. I was between Talking Rock and Dawsonville.
You have inspired me to get out and ride today--supposed to be clear and sunny! 😎👍
It’s nice here today. Headed out a little later myself. Thanks for watching and glad it inspired you!
That was one nice ride!! And that overlook was amazing!
Some pretty nice roads close by. Nice to live close to mountains. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Nice ride and it's real close to your house awsome!

I’ll have to try it. Thanks take care.
Win the lottery or get hit by lightning while riding your motorcycle..What are the better odds?..
I’m thinking you’re more likely to be hit by lightning than winning the lottery. Just my hunch. It was just that guys day to go I guess.
What bike are you riding? Sounds good!
Suzuki C50T Boulevard with Cobra pipes replacing the quieter stock pipes. Thanks for watching and the compliment on the bike. It’s a good one.
I ride the other end of GA 136 a lot between Dade County and I-75 in Resaca. It is a beautiful ride. Ride up to Cloudland Canyon sometime and I’ll buy you a coke.
Ben Brandon I’ll take you up on that sometime. I grew up in Rome, GA so I get over that way some. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
I’ll have to find it and ride it. I live over in Ellijay not too far from your Dunkin donut shop there on 515
Steve Ledbetter just go south to Talking Rock and pick it up there. Great road.
Beautiful Scenery. The exhaust of my Indian sounds better IMHO! I have logged many MANY miles in them there hills! People gp there from all over the world. T.W.O. is fantastic! If you see Susan G. tell her I said hello!
