    Ok, another hobby.....


    A few "poser shots" :rolleyes: by a professional roadside photographer named "BlindKenny." He sits along side a sharp curve on route 80 aka the "Devils Whip" and takes professional photos and sells them on his website..pretty cool. We like supporting local small business and talent like his. We would never have photos if not for BK, thanks bro!

    Route 80 is a fairly technical road with quite a few twists and turns and sharp switchbacks. Needless to say we enjoy the Devils Whip when we are in the area. It leads you right up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, an incredible scenic route which will take you to northern Va. We have ridden the entire route. We always enjoy riding the BRP and have started tent camping off the bikes this year.


    These photos are from May 27th.

    I love BRP. Dragon's Tail, Cherahola Skyway. Rode all those last year. Oh yeah, and Wayah Road has a little bit of everything. I stayed at a biker campground and lodge called Iron horse. Really cool place.

    I have visited Iron Horse, very nice. Check out the Blue Ridge motorcycle campground as well. Nice place for tent camping and they rent cabins. Reasonable rates as well :thumbsup:

    I like the BMW. Those boxer engines are bullet proof.
