FZ09 Dragon Ride

I have four motorcycles in my garage, three dual sports and the FZ-09. Up until this week, all but the FZ had conquered the Tail of the Dragon deep in the Smoky Mountains.

Earlier this week, I was on my way back from a road trip to Upstate New York. First, I picked up the Blue Ridge Parkway and rode it all the way from Afton, Virginia to Cherokee, North Carolina; about 490 miles. The next day I rode the Dragon and the Cherohalla Skyway before I had to get back on those aggravating Interstates to get home.

Earned a dragon sticker.

The final road trip mileage. Thank God for my Airhawk Seat Cushion and Ibuprofen.

I purchased the FZ-09 on January 4 of this year and now have 4,583 miles. Obviously, it was time to put some serious miles on it.
