Default my annual Memorial weekend trip, first big ride on the harley

this is the third time we have taken this annual trip.
3 years ago i decided i wanted to make sure me and my father get atleast one good 3 day adventure in. Every year we have kept the promise.

this time was a little extra special, cause i got to ride with my father and my 76 year old grandfather. 3 generations of Hoblicks riding together.

I had my wife with me as well, and a few others went to!

this is the first big trip i have taken on my harley since purchasing it 3 months ago. this is my first harley ever BTW

my father had the trip all planned out left on saturday morning returned today.

we took RT 16 from WV into Virginia, ended up in Marion Virginia, next day Rode RT311 into Roanoke and into Lewisburg, on that route we jumped off and rode some of the blue ridge as well, then headed back up 60 the next day and stopped at new river gorge and Hawks nest.

it was a great ride, great weather.. im very happy i can enjoy these things with family..

now on to the pics..

Dad
