We decided to stop in and check it out. There were mostly Harley's and such, but the organizers made us feel welcome and even tried to enter our bikes in the show. We would have stuck around, but didn't want to steal the show with our vintage RZs. You know we would have won!</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id72.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Wrenching"><IMG SRC="1b42aa00.jpg" border=0 width="554" height="416" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <div> It wouldn't be a 2 stroke rally without having to wrench a little.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <A HREF="id73.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="BRP Overlook 2"><IMG SRC="1b6d25e0.jpg" border=0 width="466" height="350" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A>   <A HREF="id74.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="BRP Overlook 3"><IMG SRC="1b8d9630.jpg" border=0 width="473" height="355" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Making another run north on the Blue Ridge Parkway Sunday Morning.

This time southbound from Asheville. Dad and I decided to ride one more time Monday morning before heading home. We intended to take a short ride south. However, it was such a nice day and we were having so much fun, we ended up riding all the way to Cherokee, NC where the parkway ends. Our short ride turned out to be about 200 miles.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>        </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
