How about the Devils Triangle?

or, the "NC Twisties"

I'm jealous. Franklin is a beautiful part of our state.

the easiest answer is just get on your scooter and point it. Come back in 4 days. Those are the best rides. As they say, the pick a direction...not a destination.

Colonial Williamsburg is a wonderful destination, not that the ride is 400 miles with no straightaways but, if you just want to get out and see something at your destination it would be a good place to have a nice time and learn a bit of history too.

...if you're into that sort of thing.

Looking for ideas on a 4 day ride. I live in Franklin NC and need some ideas on where to ride. I have done the BRP and the Cherohala Skyway already. Give me some ideas guys.

I camped in your area and rode about 600 miles
there last weekend. (Kickstand M/C Campground)

I rode 58,000 miles in 2007 and most of those
58,000 miles were in your area. With all those
miles I rode in your area I have not even come
close to seeing everthing there is to see up there.

SIM said it best, get on your bike and point, anywhere
you end up will be great.

BTW: Saying you've already rode the BRP does not
mean you've seen the BRP" My wife and I have rode
the BRP from HWY 276 to HWY 19 back and forth as
many as 8 times in one day. On the right days that
road and everthing around it changes so often you
could not ride it enough to possibly see everthing
mother nature has to show you" if you ride the BRP
another 10,000 times you'll never see everything
it has to offer......

Go ride......ENJOY.......just go ride and ride SAFE"

I've gone to York, PA, did the factory tour, came back down Skyline Drive from the northen end to the Blue Ridge Parkway, followed that all the way to Waynesville and back home to Charlotte in 4 days.

Road trip #1: Check out Lake Barkley in Western Kentucky. camping, boating, fishing.
(I heard two foxes having sex there once)

Road trip #2: Memphis, Tennessee. Check out the king of rock 'n roll's estate, blues music, muddy Mississippi River.

Stop in Nashvillealong the wayand find acountry music bar. Btw, I only suggest things personally experienced.

If none of that appeals to ya, just ride inwhichever direction the front tire is pointed andact as you would if'n you were in Rome. [8D]

Take pics and post 'em here.
