    Beautiful road, but honestly: nothing special for European standards. I have just been in northern Spain and there are thousands of kilometers of roads like that. I was there for a week of hiking but I NEED to get back there on a motorcycle. Even densely populated Germany has similar roads. So if you like those: come to Europe, rent a bike and once you are back in the US you are going to hate those wide straight highways! ;-)

      I definitely believe that is true! Last may I rented a motorcycle in Israel and got a taste of riding internationally. I have several locations on my bucket list with Ireland being at the top. I LOVE Spain! I may have to add it back to my list but this time on a motorcyle :)

    The BOTD is not too far from me here in Tennessee! The riding here in northeastern TN and southeastern VA is fantastic! I've been in 49 of the states and this area has the finest riding I've experienced yet! There are so many fantastic rides here in TN as well as in VA, KY, NC, and GA. Riding in the fall here is breath-taking! I highly recommend you ride the entire Blue Ridge Parkway if you haven't already! Thanks for sharing your adventures!! Ride safe. Ride well. Ride often.

    Just as an additional comment, I loved how you made the point that you rode your own ride. That is the KEY to staying alive out there. Too often, people get caught up in the emotion of the moment if riding with others, and they end up exceeding their capabilities and going off the road. I rode the Snake recently (near my house) and I saw two riders on crotch rockets riding way too fast into turns that far exceeded their capabilities and sure as the sun rises in the east, their stupid a$$e$ went right over the edges off the road into never-never land. I didn't see where they landed or if they lived. I was going the other direction and there were plenty of others stopping, so I didn't stop to add to the melee of confusion. You rode WISELY, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

    • @melissasmotorcycleadventures
      @melissasmotorcycleadventures  9 месяцев назад

      @soujrnr I can't tell you how much I appreciate this comment!!!! I'm frequently told my bike is too big or too powerful for me and that I should just be taking classes and not riding the road. I have taken classes and plan on taking more but how in the world do you actually learn and apply what your taught in class unless you actually RIDE. Yes I took the turns slower than a more experienced rider but I rode at my skill level and I AM A MUCH BETTER RIDER NOW for it! Thank you thank you for positive words. I do hope those people you saw ended up ok. Ride safe!

I went to VAMM which is the Virginia area Moto Meetup in July it was a lot of fun check out the series I did about my travels down and the riding around the area you might find it interesting being as you just travelled there. The event is open to any motovlogger. I travelled with 3 buddies for the 3-day event, then we travelled home to Canada But went to Ohio so we could ride the 555 Triple nickel what a trip.
