We just rode today. I didn't stop for any pictures.

We met some fellow riders at a break stop. This Aprilia is the RSV4. It's like the Ferrari of motorcycles. Too fast and too uncomfortable for me, but still a badass bike. It's got 217 horsepower. The phrase comes to mind, "It is better to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow.

Either this bike, the BMW F800GS, or a Triumph Tiger 800 will be my next bike. You can take this BMW on the local fire roads or around the world. Great bike with a 100,000 mile engine.

We rode from Lawrenceville, KY to The Breaks in Virginia. We stopped in Pikeville, KY for dinner. Not a lot of wealthy folks in Eastern Kentucky. Lots of hills and the ONLY civilization at all is all collected in the little river and creek valleys, the "Hollers." No one lives on the mountains here.

They are building an amazing 4 lane limited access highway from Pikeville, KY to Grundy, Va. This thing has to be the most expensive interstate per mile in the entire world. The inn keeper here at The Breaks said that one of the bridges we went over (They only have a small portion of it all finished, and it's no wonder) was the highest bridge in Virginia. The road either cuts through a mountain top or bridges over a deep valley. Every highway cut in a mountain looks to have a seam of coal in it.
