Huzo, no idea where you may be, but 20-23 July I am riding the Natchez Trace parkway from Nashville TN to Natchez MS, then over to the South Entrance of the Blue Ridge parkway, and North up the whole length of the Parkway end to end including Skyline Drive. Plan to pull off and camp, or hotel/motel if available. Start point is Fort Knox KY early on the 20th and I will close in on my house in Alexandria VA for dinner on the 23rd. Need to be back as I am catching a flight to Paris at 1700 on the 24th.

Faster and more mileage than ideal, but this is my 'get out of jail ride' (AKA Army Retirement) so gonna just ride and start the process of washing 23+ years of combat out of my blood. I'll be on the 1200 Sport, You are welcome to try to keep up ;-)

Thank you for the invitation Bulldog.
You are also now on the list of subjects.
When you say a “flight to Paris…”
Is that Paris Texas, Paris France or Paris (sic) Island…?

Huzo, there is also a Paris Kentucky (even has a Tower), but alas, this is Paris France. Somehow my sister in law got us Tickets to the Olympics.

Not a good idea to be in a hurry when riding a long trip unless on interstate.50 mph limits and really hot weather .Take that ride in the fall when it is cool and you have lots of time.

They usually work out to around 6 - 7 weeks and 15,000 - 20,000 km.
