1500 miles or there about. Left Saturday morning and rode down 81 to Northern VA, where I got on the Skyline Drive. Rode the full length and then got on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Rode to Roanoke VA. The next day I rode down the BRP to Franklin NC. The next day I went to the Wheels through Time museum. Fantastic place to see. Tuesday I blasted home. 646 miles all highway. I am loving the LT!

Thanks, The previous owner took really good care of it. It did have a bunch of stickers on it which I removed. _________________ 1997 K1100LT

John, you no doubt had a great ride. That area is one of my favorites. Question for you. Somewhere I read that Wheels through Time was located at Gatlinberg, TN, however, I seem to remember it being in Maggie Valley. Did it move? _________________ '93 K1100LT

Jim, been to Maggie Valley museum a few times. Dale (RIP) even dumped a can of Sea Foam in my rough running R100S one time to clean it up. _________________ '93 K1100LT

Dale's son Matt is now in charge. You can tell that apples don't fall far from the tree. I talked to him for quite a while. Nice guy, very knowledgeable about every bike in the museum. _________________ 1997 K1100LT
