Roaming the roads of North Cackalacky (NC)

[motorlicht]

Hello MOA people!

Last year I bought a 2002 K1200rs and gave my old Suzuki GS500F streetfighter to my kid brother. There is no comparison between my old sport bike and the beemer!
Odometer on the BMW when I bought it was 48K... today it shows 63K and this weekend I'm going to add some more. Going to Asheville from Charlotte by way of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock... anyone have a suggestion on a side road to take?

You're the first person that I have seen that actually says "Cackalacky".... I grew up in VA and have said that all my life. Some great riding in NC, TN and surrounding areas!

Can’t post much because I’m on a mobile phone. Check out US 265 north of Spartanburg and West of Asheville… goes through Brevard.

Welcome motorlicht! I'm guessing you are enjoying the bike. A pic or two is greatly appreciated.

Native North Carolinian here and I have never heard that reference growing up. But anyway, for starters, check out Holbert's Cove Road out Columbus, which can run you up to Saluda Grade and over to Pot Shoals Road.
And there's US74ALT from Bat Cave to Fairview towards Asheville.
