Again, same dates as the BritBike.com 3 State Ride. I will be riding a '72 Bonny from Gainesville, Ga to Blowing Rock NC up the Blue Ridge Parkway out of Asheville, to join other vintage Norton's, BSA's, and Triumphs for the 214 mile loop through 3 states. I seem to "fit in" with those older hacks for some reason....and it's a much more adventurous journey for me, just the challenge I guess...I didn't make it on my previous '72 Bonneville 3 years ago. Lost a plug wire south of Asheville, had to limp it as close to Blowing Rock as I could on one cylinder. Lost the bike in a hairpin curve to the left, leaving marks in the road, but both of us un-injured...Replaced plug wire in Blowing Rock, successfully completed 214 mile loop the next day (2nd bike in), and all the way home on Sunday..Man it was a HOOT!
This year I will be on another '72 Bonneville. Bike has just over 4000 miles on it, completely un-touched from the dealer. Ignition points, Zener diode, capacitors, all completely stock, and she runs like new! Should be quite an adventure!
