Melissa! Outstanding video. Some of the roads look familiar, like you could be in any town U.S.A. The voice over was very nice. You are quite good at it. 😃 ......................... 😎👍👍
Thanks, Joseph! It is so much fun to read up on the history of those areas we go. Makes the rides so much more enjoyable. Yes, I would love to go back...just watching those curves makes me want to get back out there.
very well done !! Brought back memories of the moonshiner 28. @ or near 7:24 area of video ( remember the guard rail at lower elevation running along side the river ) a little dog jumped out of car in front of us, dog was ok. then @ or near 8:58 of video we were able to go around car pinched into the rock cliff by a box truck. the bridal falls if i remember was a very lo flow. spent the week in maggie valley. I'll catch a few more videos
Envious!❤️ I think I would trade coastal living for the mountain living any day. When my husband finally retires, maybe we can. Thank you so much for watching. ride safe.
Loved your video. I can't wait to get back to this area. I rode the northern part of this for the first time in November of 2023. The 2-lane stretch east of US129 is awesome. But I was really amazed by the section between US19/74 west of Bryson City and Cowee, north of Franklin. You're right about keeping an eye on the road. It takes discipline. The section between Franklin and Highlands (shared with US64) I have ridden many times over the past 30 years. It never gets old. The only negative is the amount of traffic that you often get stuck behind. NC28 south of Highlands into GA is equally awesome. I've never biked it south of Warwoman Road into SC. But Warwoman Rd west into Clayton GA is killer, too. There are simply too many great roads to list them all. My dilemma is always deciding whether to explore roads that are new to me or hit my favorites that I've been riding for years.
Hey, back....also watching.... I was hoping you were going to go through the Tail of the Dragon. Awesome scenery all the way through. I'm afraid to bring my wife to your side of the world. She may never want to come back home. I think it's great you led the group. I'm sure it's because you do all the research to plan the trip. Because I'm such a speed demon on my bike, it took a few trips for me to be able to lead a group correctly. Lot of responsibility when leading a group.
Wellll,,,,when I get episode 4 / day 4 of our trip up, you will see the Tail of the Dragon. :) (hint...may not be what you expect). Yes, it is beautiful country out here especially in the mountains. Leading is hard work...and truly a big responsibility. Thank you so much for watching.
Stumbled across your channel when looking for videos on Moonshiners 28. I gotta say I love your content. I think I was able to watch all your videos in one day lol
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. :). I (Melissa) love riding my motorcycle and I love sharing those experiences. Getting another series together now. I just needed to take a month away to rest.
Kool, besides tail of the dragon,this gives me another place to visit when I get my bike,ty for sharing,it's Kool to see mother an daughter adventure on a bike,if I had a bike similar like yours I'm sure my girlfriend would feel more confident an comfortable to ride with me there.
If you watch this and it looks grainy or blurry, make sure your settings are switched to 4K. There is a HUGE difference between watching it in 720 and 2160.
Shouldn’t matter what we’re watching it in if you’re exporting using the right settings. RUclips has two codes vp9 and avc. Take a look at any of my recent videos. Most aren’t in 4K but they look like they are. It’s because I have the code. If you’re interested in finding out about it hmu on Instagram
@@RidingHumboldtCounty I would love to make sure we are uploading correctly. I never recall needing to do anything specific before to watch it in 4k. I always have a 4K version to upload. Will definitely want to see those settings. Will do some research on that. Thank you.
@@MidLifeStyleTwins the problem with uploading in 4K is that it takes forever and it takes a lot of space on your computer as well. It’s completely unnecessary 😉
Love the video...good narration ...I ride this route 4-5 times a year...I appreciate your historical perspective...my only criticism is that it is pronounced Nan Ta Hey La 😊😂
Wow. What a road. Boy, that looks like a fun ride. That shelf section cut into the granite looks incredible. Thanks for taking us along. I had no idea about the moonshiner hwy.
I love this road....Took my VFR on it last year. My jack russell (Billie) and I had a blast. (Shee has her dog back pack). We are hitting this again on my new to me bike this year. The dragon is a must but I prefer this ride. Stop counting at 10 times. (Fort Wayne, Indiana) Thanks for the video, Jesse A. McMurtry
Oh, by the way...regarding the speed advisory signs on mountain roads: On a 3-wheeler, I can imagine that you have to watch your speed. But on a crotch rocket ('86 GSXR750) or in a sports car ('90 MR-2 Supercharged), my rule of thumb was always "double and add 10". So, if it says 15, you're good at 40; if it says 25, then 60.
LOL. Yeah, trikes can tip. The tow truck driver told me he has been to many three wheel tipping accidents where they were going a little too fast for the curve.

We live in Easley, SC so we get to ride all of the mountain roads.

That’s on my bucket list to ride
You will not regret it. It is such a great ride. Will you start down in SC and ride all the way to Deals Gap (129)?
Great video Melissa. I think we are going to try that ride on our tri glide.😊 We live near Asheville, N.C.
Thanks. Awesome! Tell me how it goes. I cannot wait to go back and start in Wahalla, SC. Such a great ride...love the sweeping curves.

Yes, I love the stability and comfort of the 3 wheels.

@@RidingHumboldtCounty good to know. Thank you so much!!!
The rattler around hot springs imo is more difficult than the tail of the dragon . Great video !
Thank you so much!
Love the video...good narration ...I ride this route 4-5 times a year...I appreciate your historical perspective...my only criticism is that it is pronounced Nan Ta Hey La 😊😂
Yeah, even the online pronunciation tools are wrong. Thank you.
you did a great job of giving history and information. And your daughter was really enjoying the view of her phone! Ha.
Oh, I did see her taking pictures!
Yep....
Wow. What a road. Boy, that looks like a fun ride. That shelf section cut into the granite looks incredible. Thanks for taking us along. I had no idea about the moonshiner hwy.
Nice video!
Not a big fan of the 360 but still nice 👍
Agree…having a little bit of a love hate relationship with it. The GoPro battery life had issues.

Thanks so much for watching. I love that route.
Nan-Ta-Hey-La
Kool video, what's the speed limit through there
55 mph but most of the curves have the suggested speed marked down to 25-35 in places.
@@MidLifeStyleTwins l,oh ok ty so much
I hope you all enjoy this beautiful route and the history/information I share along the way. Please let me know what you think.
HI KAYLAS MOM
HELLO MY DEAR KAYLA'S FRIEND (MASON)!!!
@@MidLifeStyleTwins Hiiii, its a pleasure to meet you!
It’s pronounced NAN TA HEY LA not Nantala. Welcome and come back!
Now if only I can remember that. 🥰. Thanks.
