A perfect day for a short ride.

This why they are called the Great Smokey Mountains.

A few trees are starting to turn.

A good little 65 mile ride.

Thanks Gz Rider.

The Foothills Parkway is a fun 18 mile road.

I did all of the Blue Ridge and Skyline Drive a couple of years ago on the GZ.
We did 1400 miles Fri. Sat. Sun and home Monday noon.

I have a few pictures on another of my ride reports.
One day we did over 400 miles.

Good times.

Right on. Great pics of the countryside. How do you like the handling characteristics of the SV ??

JWR · 10-13-2011, 06:11 PM

I feel like I have wasted 5 years of riding.

The SV handles like a point and shoot, that's all.

Very neutral seat and peg position.

Water Warrior 2 · 10-13-2011, 06:24 PM

5 wasted years !! No way. You just found a bike good enough to have it's own racing series.

Well, I will say it is different in a good way.
