Ride With Me

I switch bikes to ride an FZ6, my first naked supersport motorcycle. My poor little 2-cylinder MT-07 (LUCY) felt left out after I left her in the dust with this 4-cylinder speed demon.

Husband leaves in this fun motorcycle moment. We take a brief break from the Dragon Tails series for a little motorcycle fun in North Carolina. Motorcycle Riding Season is upon us, are you ready? Sorry for the low lighting.

In the next video we are riding from Deals Gap to the Cherohalla skyway. Leaving Deals Gap there is so much beautiful scenery. It was absolutely stunning. Be on the lookout for some interesting landmarks, such as "The Fugitive Dam", and The Historic Tapoco Lodge Resort. and locations. This is a beautiful scenic ride. You'll notice me pointing allot in this video. It was allot easier to point at things I wanted pictures of rather than pulling out the camera every single time. It has proven to be very helpful.

On our motorcycle ride from the Tail of the Dragon headed towards the Cherohalla Skyway we passed the beautiful Historic Tapoco Lodge Resort. We did not get to visit on this trip, but the view is stunning.

Over the summer in 2022, we took nearly a 1700-mile trip that included a stop at "Ivan's" (If you know you know) to get the ECU flashed on our FJR-1300. On the way home, we were so close Deals Gap that we extended our trip to include it. This stretch of road is from the "Look out" to Deals Gap. Remember, the Tail of the Dragon is 318 curves in just 11 miles!!!

In this 10-part series we start our journey through the different "Dragon" rides in our beautiful country. The iconic "Tail of the Dragon", "Back of the Dragon", and "The Head of the Dragon". The videos will also include a spinoff of the Cherohala Skyway. Over the summer in 2022, we took nearly a 1700-mile trip that included a stop at "Ivan's" (If you know you know) to get the ECU flashed on our FJR-1300. On the way home we were so close Deals Gap that we extended our trip to include it. This first ride is about a 7 mile stretch that you never see in most videos about the "Tail". There is also a small tease from the beginning of "Tail of the Dragon". Music by Bensound.com

We were out doing a local ride and we went to pass someone, and the selfie stick gave out. I had to hold on to it until we got to a safer spot to pull over and fix it. Then while we were waiting at the light, we realized it was hanging over on the other lane. All is well but it was quite entertaining. https://share.epidemicsound.com/mc7zm6

We have a little fun on this club ride to dinner. We are able to communicate through our Cardo Bluetooth devices in our helmet. Look back for affiliate links soon. Music by Bensound.com

Husband and wife take a trip on motorcycles through Tunnel of trees. This scenic route runs North to South for about 20 miles on M-119 near Harbor Springs to Petoskey, Michigan. Enjoy scenic views of the tunnel, beautiful historic homes, and a few glimpses of the beach and bluffs of Lake Michigan. Make a visit to the Leggs Inn for great Polish cuisine. Although the ride wasn't quite what was expected, it still proved to be a unique experience and is a popular destination for motorcycle riders. For the best viewing experience view at max resolution.

We were blessed with beautiful weather for New Year's Day and took a ride out to The Plains in Virginia. We had 2 other riders join us for some twisty fun. First Stop, COFFEE!! Doppio Bunny was amaaazing. I got the Valencian. This little coffee also doubles as a bicycle shop. It's very unique in decor and food and customer service was great. Next stop was lunch at Eavesdrop Brewery. We met some friends and took a ride through Manassas battlefield to finish off the ride through other parts of Northern, VA.

A beautiful ride through the Shenandoah National Park. Skyline Drive is worth every penny you pay for the scenic drive. Several other riders join us for a club ride. This was the first major ride I took after the suspension was upgraded and I loved it so much. I was practically running people over from the confidence.

We visited Mackinac Island this particular day and took a once in a lifetime trip across the Mackinac Bridge on the Motorcycle. We also visited St. Igance and Castle rock in the UP.

A visit to the Tail of the Dragon …there’s snow and ice EVERYWHERE!! Husband and wife take a trip to the famous Deals Gap (US129), also known as the Tail of the Dragon. This road is considered one of "the destination" location for many motorcycle and car enthusiasts. It's nestled in between the Great Smoky Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest. It boasts 318 turns in just 11 miles. The slow speed hair pin turns will literally have you on the edge of your seat at times. This trip had us riding through areas with snow and ice still on the road. This was the wife's first go at the famous "Tail". We were quite disappointed when we got to Deals Gap and the store was closed. We will be returning so wife can get her patch. We were fortunate enough to visit this beautiful location in the summer as well. Be on the lookout for many videos from both trips.

Husband and Wife get his and hers suspension upgrade. Wife did not like it in the beginning but once we worked out the tweaks - I LOVE IT. Also, while working out the tweaks it almost ended in a bad day for a squirrel. Let me in the comments if you saw and what time.

Fun evening out exploring the polar express

Husband, wife, and friends take a scenic ride from Harrisonburg through the VA-211 to Sperryville. Be sure to check out Brothers craft brewing in Harrisonburg, VA. In Sperryville, Hopkins Ordinary Ale works the owners are very kind and chatty.
