Nice ride report. I was up at Montebello that weekend off Rt 56 with my niece. only stopped for a few minutes and had to haul ass back to the east coast.

I have done the entire VA section of the BRP down and back up in a weekend. Nice but boring as crap in the valleys and some spots that make you wanna drive off a cliff.

Watch out for the radar rangers. speeding ticket on the parkway is a federal ticket.

Cool pics. I've been up and down parts of the BRP many times but never end to end...kudos for that as well as camping it all the way.

Trip,

This is what Bears look like when they are hungry and looking to eat people camping in yellowstone park.

Your first time on the BRP and you guys live only like an hour from it?

Mr Lefty · 10-31-2010, 08:56 PM

No they've ridden it before... just not end to end.

I've only done a short section by Cherokee many many years ago in a car. Never past Asheville. I've always stayed away on a motorcycle because there are better roads that are much less patroled and have less tourists.

Didnt see any cops there the one day, but when i left you and went back north, I saw 2 cops in 20 miles, one of them followed me right to the exit for the highway.
