thanks, sixpack. I haven't been up there in years - but I used to go up there and camp on nova scotia on the bay of fundy - maybe loch lomond? I don't remember now. I remember it was really easy to dig clams and then steam them over the campfire!

ya, gotta watch where you dig clams now, pollution and all that stuff

winchester is just down the road. less than 40 miles - I ride out that way a lot. pretty country.

sixpack, sorry to hear about pollution finally making it up there.....when I was but a wee lad we used to dig em in long island sound (I grew up on the shore in CT) - but then we couldn't any more for the same reason - which is one of the reasons we used to go to NS to camp and clam....

Not just a lot of us; we also make a lot of noise. And we stick up for each other, so don't cross us....

I'm Hairdoo (mike - hairdoo was my call-sign in the AF, and nickname - and it's my "road name" sort of....)

I just came over here from bonnevilleamerica.com

I had a 2002 triumph america that I loved, but it was time to move to something bigger, so, I recently purchased a 2007 Triumph Rocket III Classic Touring (I think that's the right
nomenclature....).

I haven't even picked the rocket up yet....that'll happen this friday. I can not wait!

This looks like a great forum, and I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all. Thanks for having me.

Welcome and thank you for your service.

You're right, Dawg - there is some great riding here without the skyline drive speed limit. I love riding down 29/211/340 until the end of skyline (and beginning of blue ridge parkway) and hopping on that - 45 mph speed limit - and if you can go 45 on some of those twisties, you're prob a **** good rider....thanks for the welcome.

Another welcome from Michigan.
Gonna be in your neck of the woods at the end of April. My 2 oldest kids ( and DIL) live on a horse farm in Upperville. Crenshaw Rd just south of US 50!
Taking the bike in the trailer and hoping to find some good riding. Your 29/211/340 route looks good!
