But you could ride down through the tail of the dragon on the way there. Take the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. The best motorcycling roads in the country are between Philly and Alabama.
Great riding in that area of the country for sure, but the "best", that's a bold statement. But then again, "best" is in the eye of the beholder.

Hey Kev in UK. Guess you have your answer. I have lived in western VA about 20 yrs and had to look up the historical triangle. I was born across the river from you and came here as a toddler in early 50's on the QE. Hope a good trip.

Brings up an interesting question. How do they wave in England? Let go of the throttle?

They can't. Throttle in one hand, spot of tea in the other.

Mobile Bay Harley Davidson ((251) 444-5646) is the only dealer in Mobile. Pensacola Harley is about an hour away but it's owned by the same people.

YMMV
