Milan's Wild Wing - he rides it like a sport bike. Despite the size, the bike rocks!

Leaving the shop, we cut across to Brevard and then ride Hwy. 276 up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We stopped there to warm back up, add a few layers, and to shoot the bull a bit. As much as I enjoy the ride, it's the stops that I really look forward to, where we get a chance to to trade yarns. This was a great group to ride with, with a large variety of bikes - Beemers, Ducatis, Yamahas, an FJR, my Vee, a Gold Wing, a KTM and a Suzuki 650.

Note below how my Vee is turned to the side - that's something that we Vee owners learn quickly, usually after having the bike roll off of the kickstand.
