    What is a Classic Road POV?
    Ride along with us in these classic road point of view videos. There's no narration. No cuts. Just listen to the engine, the wind, or maybe a bit of fun music and enjoy "riding" the length of a classic road as if you were there yourself. This long form video series helps riders see what roads will look like when they visit, and allows many to virtually ride in places they may never get to travel. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

    The rider in this video is very smooth. Great choice on the music. Been riding these WNC roads for about 45 years. Keep the videos coming. 🤛🏻

      Looks like the "Pace" with all gears and engine braking and no brake lights. My kind of rider

    THAT is the way I love to watch a motorcycle video. No chit chat, just the pleasure of the motorcycle and the road. You need to make more like this one. TCRS: Take Care, Ride Safe.

    The Appalachian mountain range reaches right up to my country, Canada. Over the years, I’ve made more than a dozen “pilgrimages” to this neck of the woods; it’s motorcycle paradise. Sure, the west coast and more southern regions of USA also offer tremendous riding, as do other places and countries on “our” planet. But, what keeps me coming back to Blue Ridge territory isn’t only the scenic meandering roads, it’s the people. Great video, great place - I urge all motorcycle enthusiasts to take a few weeks of their lives to savor this area.

      Would have to agree on your assessment of the Blue Ridge territory. I have used Airbnb's to stay in, and saturated every corner laden area that my Delorme paper maps show me, going to different areas each year. I try to stay off of the highly publicized roads as it seems to attract riders that dont show respect for how technical these roads really are. Mile for mile, Appalachian riding is some of the best in the country. Plenty of gas, friendly locals and little cafe's are right up my alley. Great video of fall? riding. Less foliage seems to make for better sight lines.

    enjoyed the vid.
    two friends and i spent five days in the smokies four weeks ago covered 1400+ miles (va, nc,tn, ga). this was a fun road for sure. we stopped at ferguson’s supply for lunch before heading to hot springs. i managed to drop my 900# voyager while parking in the gravel parking area there. after the three of us finally wrangled the bike up i locked the camera in saddlebag. after lunch and all the excitement i forgot to mount the camera. about half way up we encountered a road work delay, at which time i got the camera mounted and was able to record the last half.
    let the good times roll...

    I love this road. There is nothing like it. Hot Springs is a welcomed stop after making my GL 1800 behave with the numerous tight curves. Great video by the way.

    Great road coming off the Snake on 421 in TN cutting over and up I26. On our way to Maggie Valley.

    Looks a lot like northern PA, but with no pot holes!

      Maybe I'll see you on PA339 or PA154 sometime. 339 was repaved recently, not a lunar surface any more!

    I like this a lot but I hate having to look at the back of another rider.
