Hwy 129 (Deals Gap, Tail of the Dragon) is on the list. In a 11 mile stretch of that road, there are 317 turns! Pretty darn amazing on a bike. Cherokee National Forest, the Skyway are also great areas around Knoxville and northwest NC. Did the same thing last year but in Aug,(not as colorful) try to go check out the waterfall close to the end of the Skyway it's easy to get to and pretty big. I can't remember the name but there is a sign it's on the Tellico side of the parkway. We spent one Saturday just parked on the Dragon watching cars and bikes pass buy, our daughter and husband rode there bikes a few times on the tail. I've ridden that area quite a bit, but I haven't scratched the surface of all the great scenery. I'm thinking about retiring around there. I wouldn't blame you at all, it's a great looking area. We have been there a lot but like you there is much more we haven't seen, my favorite time of the year is fall with the colors. Since you will be in the area Fontana dam is nice and a very curvy road to get there. https://www.tva.gov/Energy/Our-Power-System/Hydroelectric/Fontana-Reservoir I have not been to the Fontana Dam area….it looks very nice. It's not just the great roads and fantastic scenery that I like, it's the friendly people also. I can feel the stress leaving my body when I'm down there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Happy Friday... I had such a nice exhilarating motorcycle ride yesterday I thought I might do it again today! My material for a job was delayed till next Tuesday, so I'm not making anybody mad. I saw where tropical storm Patricia is making its way closer to the west side of Mexico. The Weather Channel says it's the most powerful storm they have ever recorded, could create some problems. Have a great day….80 here today!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Morning gang, sounds like some are having troubles out there and others are doing well, working on cup number two. I had yesterday and today off, oh wait I have Monday off as well. I was in the process of replacing the radiator on the Jeep, but then decided to add a 2" lift kit. Anyways I will be finishing that up today, Will I have to take the wife and kids to work and school, so I can have the car to run around and get parts needed to finish this project in the garage. Maybe I will take some pics later for you folks, take care. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piece of cake, linear actuators are great, and now most have auto turn off at both ends of travel, and you can buy them in any size/voltage/mounting you want, shop the Bay. Linear actuators are great. I use one to lower and raise my projector for my home theater. I need it to drop the projector 24" to clear a huge 72" ceiling fan. Works like a champ. Here is a picture of the parts I used; actuator, pvc to channel the cables, power supply and projector mount with custom CNC machined adaptor. I built an A frame out of 2x4 lumber in the attic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a wet weekend here. guess I'll work in the bathroom . I plan on getting the tile done all the way up to the break then concentrate on getting the cabinets done so the granite guys can finish up. Seems like this job will never end. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Very cool Luther. What subwoofer are you running? You'd think it would shake the projector hanging down like that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
