 Hey Y'all, this is not much of a ride report, but it was from a ride I did not too long ago, and I just moved the pics off of my camera. These pics are from the peak of Paris Mtn. near Greenville, SC. It is a short ride for me, just about an hour, but it has some little turns that make for a fun little trip. Anyway, I wanted to share because I am sitting bored here at work and I figured that there would be at least one more person out there looking for a photo break, so enjoy!

I stumbled on the road to the top of Paris Mountain, the one in your pics.
Very nice ride, indeed.
Thanks for the memories, I need to get back there!

Paris Mountain is in South Carolina.
The camping is primitive but the trails are beautiful....
And...I smoked my first sport bike on that road, on my Harley!
I know, I know, it was a smaller Ninja 250 or 500 and the rider must have been a newbie...but it still was an ego boost to pass on a mountain road on my Dyna.
Just goes to show that practice pays off, that's all.
Modified to add: Most Harleys can't touch a Nighthawk in the twisties, it was the rider that was un-practiced and obviously a new rider...and I was at the limits of my bike which is why it's gone and the Nighthawk's still here.

Last pic is awesome geeman! Just goes to show that practice pays off, that's all.
Maybe it was superior riding ability, we might have to find out this weekend! That is if our bosses decide we can run free of our respective leashes!   |

thanks for all the compliments! Every time I get into the mountains on my bicycle or on my NH it makes me confident that I picked the right state to call home, SC it is for me! Cool, what kind of plate is that ? Looks like paper.
The "plate" was paper, it was my 45 day temp tag that I had before I actually registered the bike and payed taxes... |
