Vacation in North Carolina on the M109R

[Twin00]

Here are a few photos of me on my M109R at Deal's Gap. The group I was with stayed in Maggie Valley, NC and the trip to the Gap was nice! I liked it so much after I went on Thursday, I went back on Friday! haha As long as you stay within your limits, that can be one heck of a ride. I personally saw two bikes in a ditch while there and I sooooo did not want to be one of those guys. I really wouldn't like to see the 109 in a ditch either! Later!

Very nice ride...

That's cool.. I grew up going to Maggie Valley all the time to fish.

I went to Snowshoe over the weekend driving my Harley F150 supercharged (not on the bike, too wet). The trip was pretty uneventful until I got off I-64 onto Highway 219 North. This is gonna be on fun road to ride on the bike next month heading up to Freedom Fest.

90 minutes of non-stop twisties..

That does sound like fun!! Maggie Valley was located in the perfect spot. The Creekside Lodge there was very cozy. Just take a right hand turn and you are headed to the Parkway and Cherokee. Great roads!

I don't mean anything by it, but do you ever catch any crap that you have Harley trucks, but don't ride them? haha

I just ran across these two pics. Looks like they were running together. Check out the backrest! ;)

Boy, you sure are shooting a risky line on those left handers, considering it's a public road. I know you want to give yourself room for error, but it would suck to become someone's hood ornament... Stay safe. Nice pics.

Not really... The Harley trucks are well received by all. I've been very happy with them.

I often get asked "Where's your hog?" I tell them it's back at the house in the frig. I plan to fry some up in the morning. LOL

I'm the first to say that I've never liked Harley bikes. I've ridden several different models and just wasn't impressed at all. It's just my personal preference. And of course the sticker shock that goes with them doesn't help any. The closest I will ever come to a Harley bike is if I build a custom bike. I'd rather have a totally custom bike with a M109R engine/tranny in it. Just for cruzin purposes... :bigthumbsup:

I will agree with you....I was interested in seeing the pictures that they took for that same reason. On that turn in particular though, there is a gravel "lot" that people pull off of the road onto. Those are the corners that I stayed on the inside of the lane of. The road was kept clean very well, but if there was going to be debris/gravel on turns, it would be there.....hence the inside line. The very scary part was when tractor trailers made the trip up and down the Dragon. Luckily, I didn't have the pleasure!

Most likely...Austrailia. It looks like the one that Aussie has on his 109 and the guy that made his has made a couple for a few stateside members on this site. Just a guess though. Later.
