The Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee to ......... what do you consider the end of it to be?
End of the BR Parkway proper, the end of the Virginia Skyline or Washington DC (the end of the stub road that comes after the Skyline) ???
MM, you could get some more participation out of our group by declaring it an Aged Rider Meander an older rider event that actually obeyed the speed limits (more or less).
But then you would have to invite the aged and infirm like Lancer and me to go riding with you if you did the Aged Rider Meander thing, along with all of the rest of them "might drop dead during the trip" sorta riders ....... There was a picture that ((Al from NH posted ) ?) of the Northern end over looking a really big Mountain , I think they were on Dual-Sport bikes.
It looked like it might have been the Northern End ?
That 30 mph speed limit through Va. should be the hardest part best I can figure.
Its kind of odd about the Savage --- I have to be going at least 45 or so to stay in 5th gear , but the 750 Guzzi will get down to 30 mph in 6th gear (slow but possible). The Savage with 25 tooth pulley can get down to 30 mph in 3rd gear OK.
I went down the Natchez Trace (50mph Speed-limit) putt-putting along at 55 or so and met at least two rangers who seemed to not care.
So OldFeller , I like to ride enough that I
mostly obey the speed-limit so I can keep my license .

We should probably have a RULE about the Dropping Dead Part .

Planning the campgrounds is the hard part for me.
Dave , I'm guessing your thinking of the BMW for a ride like that ?
or
The Ninja has a big cruse range too ? and Stew might want to take a ninja ride ? Makes me think of keeping the GS500, its got a 4.5 gal. tank
