Unexpected changes on my NEW motorcycle during my solo road trip in North Carolina!

- SURPRISE! For my new motorcycle during my solo road trip. After spending a couple of weeks in central Florida, I embarked on a motorcycle journey to North Carolina. The excitement of leaving the Sunshine State was palpable as I packed up and hit the road, fueled by coffee and the promise of adventure. The ride led me through picturesque landscapes and gradually cooler temperatures, a welcome change from Florida's warmth. The goal was to reach North Carolina and explore the scenic roads around Cherohala Skyway. Amidst the journey, I made a pit stop for much-needed upgrades to my motorcycle, navigating around 560 miles from Orlando. As I reached North Carolina, I marveled at the stunning mountains, signaling the start of a three-day exploration. The next morning, with cold weather gear on, I set out to Wunderlich's US headquarters in Hendersonville, where custom modifications awaited my BMW R18B. The day unfolded with the installation of various parts, enhancing the bike's functionality and aesthetics. Grateful for the warm reception from the Wunderlich team, I resumed my ride to Robbinsville, North Carolina, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. The journey was not without its challenges, from cold weather to unexpected road construction, but the scenic views and the anticipation of exploring the Smoky Mountains kept my spirits high. Finally arriving at Robbinsville, my enthusiasm grew as I prepared to ride the famed Cherohala Skyway. The day ended at a hotel, though thin walls provided a less-than-ideal night's sleep. The next morning, braving the cold and fog, I geared up to ride the Cherohala Skyway, eager to share the upcoming Smoky Mountain adventures with my audience. This transit day marked the beginning of a travel series, a shift towards experiencing and appreciating the beauty of the roads less traveled. As the sun rose over North Carolina, the promise of exploration hung in the crisp mountain air, setting the stage for the adventures that lay ahead.

Nice video and bike Jess
These are my favorite kinds of videos. Watching the beautiful miles tick by
Hi Jess! A suggestion for cold weather riding----silk long underwear. My wife and daughter rode (horses) year round. I never had a problem with Christmas gifts and that long underwear was always welcome. Silk is light , thin and comfortable; and warm, of course. I bought it at Dover Saddlery or Stateline Tack. Both are respected companies.
You pervy 😂
I have heard that that works they say Joe Namath wore them playing football in the winter time ♣️♠️
My husband and I just went there for the first time in June and rode our bikes. You are constantly an inspiration to me, and it's so fun revisiting places we loved SO much through your videos.
Those lower leg chaps are cool! My daughter rides horses and uses something like that when she doesn’t wear tall boots and in the equestrian world they’re called half chaps. It’s actually funny how many parallels there are between equestrians and motorcyclists.
Those look like the boots my mom and sister had in the early 80s that came all the way up.
Dolly is one of the prettiest new bikes I've ever seen...I'd get the same bike....awesome!
Been down there 3 times I can’t get enough of the nice roads & scenery
If you're in the Maggie Valley area, please visit Wheels through time museum. You can spend hours if not a whole day. All American made motorcycles.
If you want a unique place to stay, stay at Mile High Campground. It's between Maggie Valley and Cherokee on the Blue ridge parkway.
It doesn't get much better than riding two wheels in north Carolina. Two rivers lodge on rt. 19 between Bryson city and Cherokee is a biker friendly motel and Blain and Kathy will treat you like family.
I'm very jelly of your trip plans. I'd love to ride the Cherohala and the Tail again. Especially in fall. Have a blast!
Ha!! I knew it! I commented on your last vid about solo riding and i said I understand I'm heading out for a few days myself. Well damn. I was riding in NC went over the skyway and i was waiting in that construction area when a BMW past me and I thought wait...WTH I think that was her two wheels!
Apparently it was. Funny to me to see you in the wild. Ride safe hope you enjoyed the skyway and all the beautiful colors.
I love the Cherohala Skyway, especially this time of year. Lower leg chaps (gators) are something I'm going to have to look into. Had no idea they existed for motorcycles!! Great video!!
They were a life saver!
I can't get over how beautiful that bike is. I enjoyed riding the R18 for a demo ride when they first came out. I did Tail of the Dragon, Wheels through Time and Biltmore Mansion last year for my birthday. Beautiful area to ride. Next time. Down I'll do the Cherohola Skyway too.
The skyway is one of the best of them
@@andrewschultz2504 yeah, we just didn't have the time to run it.
Tail of the Dragon and Wheels Thru Time are two "must do's" in the mountains. Youve also got to try some NC wines. The vineyards here rival anything California has to offer. And Asheville has an abundance of craft beers and fun activities. Ride NC! 🏍️
Wow, can’t believe that bike looks even better now with all those parts. I thought it was gorgeous to begin with.
Very cool parts they put on Dolly!!! Beautiful ride up there. Have fun and ride safe Jess !!!!!
Wow, really enjoying your videos. Longtime rider here, 50 years plus😂. At 70, my trips have come to an end due to wife’s health problems. I’ve ridden as far as California, Montana, all through the eastern states, as far as NewOrleans. I love this country so much, it’s so beautiful. Admittedly , I got a little emotional ( cause I’m old I guess) riding with you down the highway. I’ve been riding my 02 Goldwing for the last 21 years. Lots of fun and funny memories ( well, funny now). Keep up the great work! Look forward to to your next adventure.Semper Fi
I sat on one of those bikes once and was amazed how easy it was to get on and how it did not feel huge to me. Very very nice bike!
I stayed at that same Best Western last month when I rode down to ride with my cousins for the weekend. I pulled in, checked in, unloaded the bike and went up to my room. I parked exactly where you were when you unloaded and they never said anything (I never asked). The next morning, someone walking by said he had pulled his bike in (with a group of other ADV riders) and they told them to move. His comment was that they let me park there because I rode a Harley. Also…it was fun seeing your ride to Robbinsville. We spent a week there this summer riding all the roads. For future reference, look into the Phillips Historic Motel. Costs less than the Quality Inn, and they cater to motorcyclists. No breakfast in the am, but they’re walking distance to a couple of good restaurants. We rented a cabin…not really an option for what you needed.
Another great video, thank you Jess. God bless, ride safe.
Thank you! You too!
That bike is so beautiful.
Safe travels Jess! Can’t wait for the next video.
Like the new upgrades, amazing scenery, keep safe!
Bike is really starting to come together and look good. Video quality is really good as well.
That bike is absolutely georgeous!
Congrats! You have bought/built a work of art! Truly a dream bike!
Those colors... Wow.
I'm repeatedly struck by that beautiful paint scheme. She's a looker!
We were up that way in Sept. 2 Wheeled Inn outside of Robbinsville is a motorcycle centric "Motel" and you get your own personal garage for your bike. Rates are reasonable. Food truck for dinner. Nice folks. Great location.
Very cool!
I am a huge Harley Davidson fan but I will have to admit that, that R18 is one sexy bike!
Oh by golly! Awesome ride! Very beautiful! Just might have to get me one!!!🎉
Thats a beautiful R18 my favorite out of all the variations of that bike
What a great shop! BADLY missing my K1100 LT now! I love your bike!! Would love to feel the ride of the new 1800. Wow! So happy that BMW is making this nice low rider. Thanks for sharing. You've got my missing riding juices flowing!
beautiful scenery
Beautiful bike and beautiful young lady. Be safe. Love your videos
Ride safe and enjoy always enjoy watching
Looks great, glad to see some support for that good looking bike!
Hopefully the south warms back up for my trip to Forgotten Angels. I’m making a few stops on the way, first is in N.C., so thanks for the preview of the scenery. The new accessories on the BMW look pretty good! 👍🏻👍🏻
Have so much fun!!
Bike is looking good
I'm really enjoying your videos Jess. Keep it up. The Smoky Mountains are my favorite place to ride.
I love the new focus of the channel..
Keep riding sister..
Loving your videos!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bike!!!!
Very cool thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hi Jess, come to Arizona in the spring and ride the Coronado Trail (Rt 191), which used to be called the Devil’s Highway (Rt 666), then loop back on Rt 180 in New Mexico. Lots of other stuff to see too: Chiricahua National Monument, Tombstone, Bisbee, Monument Valley, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon just to name a few.
Your in some some beautiful country so enjoy your ride.
Woohoo 🙌 Nice 👍‼️😎🤙
That's a beautiful area to ride and experience. Been going there regularly for a few years now, and always find something new to enjoy. Looking forward to your video on the Cherehola Skyway. If ya wanna break from riding, consider the train ride at Bryson City or the Wheels Through Time mc museum in Maggie Valley. I hope you have time for US 441 through the Park.
SAFE travels..ENJOY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice people to fix your bike. Lucky you😊
Some of the best riding in the world with a longer ride season. You were in my backyard lol. I live in Asheville. Be safe watch out for the leaf lookers.
I just did the Cherohola Skyway last weekend and it was gorgeous. Safe travels!
Glad to see the road construction is still there. Did that trip in late May and waited 40 minutes at the top.
Hope you enjoyed your ride through Greenville (my home)! The ride to Hendo is one of my faves!
Wow wow ! Dolly’s gettin dressed up 👍Great to know that Wunderlich is pickin up and creating accessories for these great looking unique bikes , thanks for sharing and looking forward to watching travel series. Thanks for what you do 👍😎
The bike looks great, love the color pattern, I'm heading up there from Central FL next week, hope it stays warm, lol, enjoyed the video
That is SWEET 🎂 YOU made some good choices for the R18
Welcome to NC!
That is a stunning bike,I would definitely have one
Cherohala Skyway is the best of them all, IMO.
I love Dolly and all her new upgrades Awesome video!
Hi Jess. I wish I knew you were coming to our beautiful state of NC. I would have loved to meet you and ride along with you!
That is a beautiful area between Hendersonville Brevard and brosnan and there's some amazing roads that go down from there into South Carolina towards the lakes
I was just there 2 weeks ago. Love that part of the country.
Seems like an awesome trip to do. Awesome scenery with the Autumn or Fall colors going at it.
Also the chaps look so cool with the riding gear! Never really see that here in The Netherlands as far as I recall.
Dolly be looking awesome with the new goodies! Love the colorway on her as well!
Just got home from Bryson city and Maggie valley tonight. Watching video with wife. We got to meet Matt at wheels through time in Maggie valley. Big charity ride showed up when we were there. Dude from 3 doors down facilitating event
150 to 200 bikes. Great smokey mountain train ride in Bryson city this morning. Love your BMW
I know you said it’s not peak fall color time there yet, but it already looks impressive on camera. The R18 looks really nice.
Hi Jess!!! Passed through my home state!!😊
You are the best motorcycle girl in the world. Take care.
Your bike is very attractive. And I like the accessories you had installed.
You work so hard on making your channel a success. I'm glad to be a member. Thanks for the great videos!
I’m lucky to have you!
The smoky's are so gorgeous, i have a couple wunderlich things on the panny, and I'm going to get one of their seats next year....good stuff.....hill hold is an awesome feature!
We went to Key West from TN last week. Was in the 40s leaving but sunny in the 70s rest of the ride. We're hitting Cherohala and Maryville this next weekend.
The beemer looks like it rides so smooth compared to the other bikes you ride
I freaking love that bike...maybe I'll get one!
My dad and I parked right next to you our last day or two. The Cherohala was our favorite ride out there. Lynn's Cafe was good food too.
Bryson City things to see : Road to Nowhere and Fontana Dam.
Eat at Jimmy Mac's.
Best place to stay in Robinsville is the Two Wheel Inn. Each room has a small garage that fits a couple bikes.
I like my chaps, keeps the bugs of my cloths. Extends riding season and helps in rain. Not to mention a little extra protection. being able to show up to some place and not have bugs all over my pants is reason enough for me.
We live in NC you are correct best ridding in the US
Love your. Videos
We were up there middle of October. Three nights in Cherokee, three nights in Gatlinburg tenn. Then Helen GA two nights.
Hey Jess, we were 5 days in East Tenn. and got home yesterday. By the time we got home it had dropped to 52 degrees and the heat on the bike is a game changer. Just my opinion, I like the original sissy bar better, Be safe, have fun.
I wondered if you were happy with your windshield, when I rode the bagger R18 I was wishing for a slightly taller windshield. Love your other Wunderlich mods!
Leaf peepers...and Dolly peepers 😉. One of my sisters lives just South of Robbinsville, and I'm very much looking forward to riding there when I get back on two wheels.
So cool!
I live about 1&1/2 hrs from Wunderlich in Hendersonville on up in elevation! I live also about 9 miles from the blue ridge parkway! You need to ride the devils whip which is another popular motorcycle ride! It’s 160 turns in 12 miles! I love my home state of NC! So glad to see you enjoying! The leaves are gorgeous this year! Love your content! Be safe
The Cherohala Skyway is the best this time of year, just back from a weekend trip there. Can take your time and not rush and enjoy the view, unlike the Dragon.
Totally agree!
Bryson City has a great train ride that during Christmas dose the Polar Express theme. Also Nick and Nate’s Pizza is a great place to eat and Calhoun Inn & Suites is a great place to stay. Very motorcycle friendly.
If you have time take a ride over to Maggie Valley and see Matt at Wheels thru Time... Great riding all thru the area
Rode over to Roscoe Village and had lunch at the Warehouse, based on your suggestion!! Good call!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Was just on the blue ridge parkway myself this weekend
Next time you come to North Carolina. You really need to check out the Outer Banks. You will love the area and it has a lot of history here.
Glad that you are enjoying my backyard area. When in Bryson City you should check out the Railway museum and also check out the Road to nowhere, lot of history there. In Robbinsville there is a motorcycle camp/cabins and you should check it out. Was just up in Cherohala Skyway and stayed a long weekend in Tellico Plains and stayed at The Tellico Lodge, a fantastic couple own this place and also have a garage for motorcycle parking only. And if you got to ride Hwy 28 this is also know as Moonshiner and is a great road.
Hi from Washington state. Yeah not as many nice days now in the northwest too 40s and rain a lot. But a few nice days still.
I like the blue RS up in the loft
I live about 4 1/2 hours from Bryson City and I've stayed in that area a few times. Look up the "Road to Nowhere" for some interesting history, there are a ton of great places to eat in the town of Bryson too. While you're in the area I would highly recommend taking HWY 28 toward Highlands and make sure you stop at Dry Falls, you can't see the waterfall from the parking lot and it's only a 100 feet down (we kept stairwell and walking path) for one of the most beautiful and easily accessible waterfalls.
You should also ride the train in Bryson City and see Fontana Dam, it’s ranked one of the most beautiful Dams of the world!
Great video thank you. Check out the iornhorse motorcycle resort sometime.
love NC
I lived in Hendersonville for 26 years. Best motorcycle roads in the country are in western NC, but I am biased. I used to order parts through Wunderlich for my BMW R1100rs.
I really like the Cherokee reserve in North Carolina!
