It was an absolute blast to get out with John and Josh. Two very cool dudes with an excellent choice in motorcycles! Josh and John had both hit me up asking if I'd like to ride on this particular Sunday. I had no plans and was hoping I'd be able to get out on the CT125 and enjoy the weather anyway since the XR150 is currently down (more on that later!). Josh and I had been trying to meet up over the last year but our schedules had never fully aligned. John had messaged me saying that we ride a lot of the same roads during the week, but I had never crossed paths with him. But boy, am I sure glad to have gotten to ride with these dudes! There's something really special about riding with people that are into the same motorcycle as you. First off, you share the same limitations. You can't really go fast, and you're resigned to the same controls, the same seat, and the same overall position. But second, because of these factors, you're really seeing the same things. You're having a very similar experience. And that is a really cool experience. Josh, John, and Jake (me)...the triple J threat.....met at the Waffle House on Brevard Road in Asheville, NC. We had a vague outline of what we were going to do but solidified our plans while Josh and I sipped some coffee. I was the last to arrive as I needed gas, but I was happy to observe their beautiful CT125's in the lot when I arrived. We headed out towards Brevard with Josh in control of navigation, me in the middle, and John bringing up the rear. We rode down 191 (Brevard Rd.) and onto Boyslton Highway (280) and down to Brevard. We got a ton of looks and even a wave from a train of Harley riders headed the opposite direction! In Brevard we stopped for gas and John was kind enough to fill our tanks for us. A whopping $5.20 and we were ready to set our sails towards Cathey's Creek Road. A quick 5 minutes of tarmac brought us to dirt and the fun began. Josh and John tore it up on the way to the waterfall. We weren't really sure if we were going to check it out, but I'm honestly really glad we did. It was stunning and surprisingly tall! The hike down was quick and the hike back up was pretty warm haha! From here we continued on down the dirt road until we came to an intersection where we headed out towards 215. John kept the bike upright from a fall on the dry, dusty gravel and we started working our way out towards Wolf Creek Lake. TO BE CONTINUED... ____________________________ Product Links!!
