In US , it's gallons (3.785 litres) , in Canada , it was in litres , all brought back to good old uk gallons

Lupin tours have now reached Baltimore , and anyone who is doing a vaguely eastern usa trip ever ..... needs to ride the 11.5mile approx , Dragon's Tail !!!! Google it .....

Hmm here's me thinking that it just was how Tunneller won trophies at the Antler
They were real On My Bucket list You really do seem to be having too good a time of it!
Ready for the last leg now. Heading for the start of "skyline drive" tomorrow. A 105 mile long road , we assume along the top of mountains , which then links up with the better known "Blue Ridge Parkway" which continues for another 400 miles + , towards our final destination.
Still bloody hot , but I am not complaining
In one weeks time we will be close to landing in Belfast ........ hmmmmmmmmm

Stop a night in Pigeon Forge , near bottom of parkway . It's like Vegas for the hill Billy's even with it's own dolly partton theme park , if memory serves me right !
No don't....it's absolute shit hole
However, you must ride the Dragons Tail which is at the end of the parkway. 318 curves in 11 miles which will give your concentration and biceps a good workout.Watch your speed on the Blue Ridge as it's a National Park and the cops will like the extra income to their funds.....DAMHIK

You clearly have not read the thread !!......... have a nice day y'allllllll
Arrived back to base today. 3000 trouble free miles done , and the "climax" of the holiday , was test driving a "Zero" electric motorcycle at a local bmw dealer today. All I would say is : don't knock it till you've had a go. I came away very impressed. Interesting .............. !!
Some photos when I get back home and have done a sort.

Not quite what we are used to ?????
............ and no , I hadn't bought anything ... and they knew I was just passing through !!

I just spotted this and asked Mrs Swollocks if I could have third bite at the bike......
Almost got myself a black eye instead.
Sounds fantastic, but has MasterBaker fallen off the radar? Hope he hasnt been overcome with the crazy temperatures in the West

Or worse still, become somebody's plaything in a Mexican prison
