Nice! I'm only a few miles north of Front Royal and have been riding Skyline for the last year. If you haven't ridden it before, I highly recommend NOT doing it on the weekend as traffic can reach "Ridiculous" levels quickly! Also would recommend dropping off at the 211 intersection @ Sperryville/Luray. Going down (and then back up) the mountain on either side is great fun!

 

Living up there must be amazing. If you can imagine (I'm giving my age away here), the last time I rode Skyline drive was in 1983. I was riding a 1982 Honda CX500TC. Look that one up, it's an impressive bike considering the year.

 

Looks like the motorcycle version of those turbo Porsches that loved to swap ends when that boost would hit mid-corner!

As for age, in 1983 I wasn't exactly wearing diapers! Had more than few surprised expressions when a young 'un pulls up beside me at a light or (much more rarely) a nice young lady compliments the bike...

Nice, that's a long way from Poland.
Hope you manage to enjoy this years trip with all the virus problems etc....
Looks like a custom rack, did you make it yourself?
Cheers

Some guy fabricate this - CNC bent and water cut, Cost about 50$ its quite tough. 10mm main curves and 3mm other parts of plate. P&P with givi monokey plate.

 

That looks great, shame did not see it before I bought the Givi arms and rack... significantly more expensive that 50$... oh well!

 

Y'all are crazy. 300 mile days are way more then enough for me. Beyond that I'd prefer a car/truck.
