Default Barber Museum and the gap

HERE is a link to our route. Winston-Salem, NC to Birmingham Ala, to Tellico Plains, Robbinsville, then home. 1,025 miles in 44 hrs

We left Winston Salem, NC friday in 64 degree weather at 5pm



We rode about 240 miles till about 8pm then crashed near Athens Ga

R1150RT
FJR1300
GSXR600
FXLRTSBEYSGDJF......Ultra Glide HD



Got up and rode another 200 sat morning in upper 50's till we hit Barber Motorsports park and Museum



Got there about 11 and there was only one other bike there

HERE is a link to the pic since it's wide and I personally hate to scroll in posts

The museum is STUPID cool



I have about 314 pics of just the bikes....and I won't bore you with those....but here's a few very cool ones










And there was a track day going on while we were there too




We left a little after noon and headed north to catch the Skyway before dark



My buddy Jason and I tore off for a spirited ride across the summit



It was GREAT!!! we had the whole skyway to ourselves and the weather couldn't have been better!!!




Got up sunday morning and headed up to the gap...it was a cool 49 but felt great.



But it was closed right at the NC line...so we headed down 28 and rocked a few of the local roads



We headed back up 74 to 40 and came on back. About 11:30 it started raining....but we made it home fine by 2:00

Great weekend! great trip!!!
