WNC Gravel Videos. As an average rider at best, I was alone in Nov 2012 when I recorded these. Thus the pace is boringly slow, not intended as entertainment, but rather as a reconnaissance aid for adventure motorcyclists. Mileage approximate. Tried to only post videos that were not already on the web. A caution: All of the best riders I know have been forced off the gravel by an oncoming vehicle. Info: GSMNP 828-497-1900; Nat. Forest Svc. 828-524-6441.

Cowee Bald Rd Cowee Bald Road - YouTube /Conley Creek Rd Conley Creek Road - YouTube (My commute to work for years): From NC74 take 28S X14M, turn L onto West Mills Rd, then immediately turn L onto Snow Hill RdX3M, turn L onto Leatherman Gap Rd. X2M which becomes Cowee Bald Rd (Gravel)X5M, turn L onto Conley Creek Rd (Gravel)X6M. At end of gravel, paved Conley Cr. Rd takes you to Whittier, NC and exit 76 on NC74.

(Gravel) X5M, turn R onto NC19X5M back to Wrights Creek Rd, completing the figure 8. Must be ridden in this order because Roundbottom Rd. is 1-way. Roundbottom open about May 13-Nov 30.

From one of my last rides of 2012, before winter ended the motorcycle season.

I'm riding with some guys from a danish motorcycle forum, that I've had fun with the last few years. I start the ride in the back of the groupe. For the last part of the ride I take the lead and act as a guide.

Bit of outback stuff, went out for a beer, came back a few days later.

Just relocated from Oregon to SoCal and I must say although I miss the PNW there is nothing like being able to ride every single day down here. So much to explore. Anyway finaly got a week end off and was able to take the week end and head off into the desert. Headed to circle the Salton Sea then to Calexico and back home to the OC. 550 lazy miles up 74, down to the 76, 2 and into Salton City and up and around the Sea down to Calexico then back 76 to Oceanside and up the 5 to San Clemente and up PCH to home. Fun ride!! Put to gether some pic s of the first half and attemped to find some approprate music.

Finally got a chance to use my GoPro. I took a ride out past Tortilla Flats on HW88 there in AZ. Quite a few cars out there but still a nice ride. The section I though might be worth shareing is the eastern side of Fish Hill Creek. Not much editing done and no music added but its the 1st video I'v ever posted, so enjoy!

Here is an onboard of a ride on my 2012 DL650 on a nice piece of flowing road on a sunny Sunday afternoon, Queensland, Australia.
Bugs on lens but it replicates what we all put up with and adds to the reality of the clip I reckon.
