Hello everyone,

Name is Dave and I'm from North Carolina in the US. There are lots of bikes in this area and The Great Smoky Mountains. I figured I would join and get to know some Australians. You guys always seem to have a good sense of humor and funny stories to tell.

Thanks Rain Man...I do enjoy riding out here. I live in Raleigh which is is a 4 hour trip to Maggie Valley/Cherokee. I can head 1.5 hours east and be at the beach as well. It works out great for us motorcyclist. When are you coming back to this area?

Welcome to the Forum Dave, it's refreshing to see a new overseas member join the rabble. Look forward to any stories and pics about your riding experiences in your area.

Thanks guys for the warm welcomes. Yes...the scenery and roads here in North Carolina are pretty sweet! It's always nice to talk to people half way around the world with the same interests. I have lots of pics and stories I can share so I'll have to start some new threads and "fill you guys in"!

Welcome Dave,

Hope you enjoy our black-tops, see you on the road

Planning to go the ride from Murphy NC and ride Nantahala gorge to Bryson City NC, next year, what is the best time of year in your opinion?

Thanks again everyone. Marz...Are you in Australia? If yes, where are you flying in when you come to NC? I can't imagine Murphy having much of an airport. haha Have you ever been to this area? It's huge mountains and small towns. Do you plan to rent a harley?

Anyways, I'd say it is best to come in June or September. July and August gets pretty damn hot. May and October is nice as well but it does get a little cool up in there. Even in June it is considerably cooler at high altitudes in the mountatins than it is in the valleys. Thunderstorms pop up regularly and unexpected sometimes but this is just part of the experience.Let me know when you are coming and I'll drive up there to meet you. Hell, you can fly into Raleigh NC and I'll escort you there. haha

I'm gonna post some pics that I have in another thread of my trips up there. Hold up....
