You need to make a Spring or Fall Bash my brother or at the very least get up with the guys that ride Virginia or West Virginia guys.

I rode Skyline Drive last July. With an enforced 35 MPH speed limit the ride wasn't about cornering....it was just flat out beautiful. Lucky thing for the slow pace because a large black bear ran in front of me. Any faster and I would have hit it, and then it would have killed me.
I went on a Tuesday morning, so traffic wasn't too bad at the start. But by the afternoon I was getting behind slow moving campers and trucks, and I mean really slow moving. With the twisties it was difficult finding a place to pass, even double yellow passing. As such I wouldn't recommend going on weekends.

Very nice scenery around the area. Slow speed limits (strictly enforced) and lots of deer and bear keep you on your toes.
I live right near the parkway and travel it often. One evening my wife and I ran through over 100 deer on the way home in a 20 mile stretch (this many are not so common, but always see a few)
We actually had to stop at least 3 times to wait for deer to move out of the way. One did not want to move off the yellow line, I stopped, blew the horn and reved the motor and still almost had to get off the bike to push him off the road.
Another had been hit but still alive. We got off the bike and with another motorist help we moved her to the shoulder. Called the Game Warden and let him know where she was.

And all your DC-metro bretheren. Skyline is just a hop and a skip away. Lots of good roads around that area with beautiful scenery if you want to ride faster.
