Our Skyline Drive (VA) ride WITH PICS AND VIDS!

[JSP]

Had a GREAT time and thought we would share some pics and a couple vids.

It was Me, Dart, and Verranth (and his GF) that went on this day trip. We took the whole Skyline Drive in Va and had a blast. Took a little over 5 hours from the top to the bottom. Very fun road.

Here is a map so you can see the drive we took.

Pics are attached! There will be lots more pictures when the others post theirs up. I am uploading some vids to youtube and will post those in a bit. Quality isnt that great but oh well.

Looks like it was a blast! I wish most of Louisiana wasn't at or below sea level. We don't have as nice roads or scenery as some of the more mountainous locales.

I can't speak for the first, but I think this is one that could be a done again. With a little more planning, I'm sure we could get some more riders from PA and MD to join, as well as any others willing to come.
It was a great ride, and the weather was great ( a little cool at times, but nothing a nice liner couldn't handle). The scenery is great, the other riders/cagers on the road were very friendly, almost any stop made. brought stories from all over the country.

the gf has the camera and the usb cable is broken. It will take a while before we can get those pics from the SD card

I'll post them up when I get them.

got a card reader? That's how I get all mine off, it's faster than usb as well. If you don't have a card reader, you can buy a little usb sd card reader for about $5-$10.

Great pics! Thanx!

If you get someone with a white one you can do a promo shoot for Yamaha and the GF will have company ...

Some days I'm staying away from the 3 FZ sites because it just get me sooooo jealous. :rant: - but it doesn't last long, I can't stay away from the FZx-Forum sites...

I can't wait for the day that all my stuff get sorted out so that I can get myself a FZ again

 

[WANDERER]

It's would be nice to ride with everybody have the same bike.....

Wow, an old thread for sure!

But good catch... Verranth, WHERE ARE THOSE PICS?

O.K. I realize you may be out of town with your brother by now on your cross country tour... but... did these pics get lost? From what I remember, your girl had over the shoulder pics of us!

And... where are the pics of the new ride??? Have you abandoned us here on the FZ6R forum for your FJR?
