Had a nice ride this weekend

My buddy and I hit the Blue Ridge Parkway this past sunday. It was about 65 degrees and bee-you-tee-full! Although once we got up in the mountains it got a little chilly (35). We drove until we hit the road block (picture below) and had to turn around. Sorry about the pics, they were taken with my phone. I plan on doing that run again with a good camera. The scenery was amazing. Up around 3500 feet. I know it's not much, but it's all we got in Virginia. On the way back I rode my buddy's 2002 Interceptor and he took the busa. He now of course has busa envy and is looking into an upgrade.

Great pics, but in that first one there's a red Honda in the way of a work of art

. Glad you had a good time.
 
Looks like a great ride. The I love riding on the parkway, and yes, a better camera is definitely a must to capture its beauty. How did you like the Intercepter? My buddy has one as well, and I find it to be a very comfortable and fun bike to ride as well. If they'd ever up the displacement on it, I might consider buying one. Busa is still the undisputed king though.
 
I,ve rode the Parkway a few times myself, it is a MUST do ride if you are ever in the area. But then again, I live in Tennessee, so you could say, I PUT myself in the AREA.

The interceptor was pretty comfy, and it's neat at 7000rpm's when the additional valves kick in. And I liked all the info the digital guages give you. But it's no busa. I stopped in to see him yesterday at his office and he told me "that thing has balls!"
