Five Day Motorcycle Ride in the Great Smoky Mountains - Oct. 2023

A compilation of short clips from over 100 videos taken over 5 days.
Two fellow #BurningDaylightRiders and I rode many backroads in Georgia, NC, Tennessee, and Virginia as well as portions of the Blue Ridge Parkway over the course of five days. The fall colors were a couple of days past their peak and were grand. We chose to ride this trip on Monday thru Friday to hopefully avoid a lot of leaf lookers, and even then there was a good many folks on the Parkways.

Hello from ohio. Very happy i found your channel. Great content. Im currently looking at the kawasaki voyager as my next bike.

[@BackRoadzRider]

I appreciate it. I have no regrets. Should you purchase one you will want to have the ECU flashed as the OEM tune is too lean. Let the good times roll...

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I had a Kawasaki and I believe it was my favorite bike. It was great until a woman tried to kill me on it she did succeed to total my bike though.

We were planning a trip out that way this summer…and planning to ride the whole Blue Ridge Parkway…but we decided last week to go to Sturgis, and now Il not sure if I’ll have enough vacation time. Lol

BRP more laid back 😆. If you do go try to make time for riding roads off the parkway. Thanks for watching.

Very good place to ride. Many sites are familiar since live close to the BRP and ride it often. Music is nice, but I prefer some dialog, at least describing the locations you are at the time.

Thanks for watching.

That's some beautiful riding

[@BackRoadzRider]

@misadventuresoftr118 it definitely was especially with the perfect weather all week. Look forward to watching your "misadventures". Let the good times roll.

Nice ride. I notice you have a gps on your Voyager. I have a Vaquero. Any any issues fitting that gps in the location it is? I’m thinking of getting a Garmin XT2, which is a little bigger and was wondering how the one you have, which looks smaller fits in that location for size.

Actually that is my Pixel phone with Google Maps route navigation. I mount it to a "Maxam Iron Horse Phone Holder for Bike Handlebar Motorcycle Phone Mount-360 Swivel Locking Joint, Quick Release Button, Foam Padded Clamp Universal Fits Most Mobile Phones, Bicycle Accessories" that I purchased from eBay four years ago. It was only $10 at the time but has held up extremely well. Thanks for watching. Let the good times roll...

Good video, but the freeze frame is so annoying!

[@BackRoadzRider]

Yeah, I never determined the cause even after watching those spots play seamlessly on my post-production timeline and exporting several times only to have it happen on each export 🤷🏻‍♂️. Thanks for watching and commenting though.

[@jimeckenrode1271]

were you ashamed of the other riders not much if any showing of them.
