Love the parkway! Mostly in the Asheville NC area. If you have the opportunity, try to stay at the Pisgah Inn on top of Mt Pisgah. http://www.pisgahinn.com/. In my opinion it is an excellent half-way stop for dinner and breakfast.

I love my new to me 99 EG Standard, me and the wife are leaving in the morning for our first road trip, going to the Outer Banks in NC the senic route. Can't wait, I love riding this thing. I agree, most peole cause their own problems, people telling me to upgrade with cams and things, I like it the way it is, if I want to upgrade anything to go faster it will be my race car.

Firefighter Mike, Not intending to criticize those who post complaints about their bikes. That said, it's great to hear from someone who loves his bike because he rides it and uses it as it was intended - to appreciate and experience our beautiful land. Your ride will stay with you forever. Many more our friend.
Great to read a post not complaining about engine noises, rattles, leaks, or bad dealership experiences. (Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually rides or just sits here worrying about stuff on their bikes)! Sounds like a good trip! BTW my bike is running great and I have no complaints either!

Yeah, that works. But with all due respect to those that live in the "nations breadbasket" I don't look forward to the ride across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas/Nebraska (take your pick). I'm not used to riding in flat and featureless terrain. (Before the flames begin, I was born in Nebraska and visited relatives there every summer and then went to my last 2 years of high school and undergraduate school in Ohio. So I am speaking from experience.)
