After the most hectic couple of months I can remember, I've managed to weasel 10 days off work for some much needed R&R and I'm off to tackle Southeastern ohio, west NC and central NC on the kat.
Since I only have 3 priorities, spending as little money as possible, staying safe, and visiting family in highpoint, my itinerary is laughably empty. I thought you guys (and gals) with some experience of the roads to ride down there might throw out some routes I should scrape a knee on while i'm down there.
I know i'll be in marietta, OH from this friday-sunday, and am going to hit route 26.
Then it's down to Asheville, NC for a couple of days, and I'm planning on going to the gap and the skyway sometime during that time.
Then to Highpoint to see family (any suggestions for roads to hit down there?), then back up to marietta at some point for a couple more days, then back up to michigan.
I'm totally psyched to get out on the road for a nice long tour, i've done michigan-marietta a couple of times this year, but this is the first time i'm not going to be racing against the clock to get somewhere.
I am a bit worried though, i've been out of the loop the past month or two, and I come back to find a few of ya became victims of the dragon and surrounding roads. Hopefully it's not a katriders curse!

Cool..... vacation and the Kat. I would make one recommendation though, check out the "ICON" visability vest. I have one, they look as cool as you can make it look cool and will be an added comfort should the weather turn foul and your on the road. Im glad I had mine when I got caught in the middle of 7 hours of downpour on the highway going across the east coast. Cheers....... 
.... But you'll probably be bored as hell running through central Ohio . I THINK there's a hill near a corner in Columbus , but damned if I could find it again
