I like the BRP and the Cherohala but I prefer much twistier roads.  The last two years I have set up a scooter rally In Maggie Valley and we have ridden the BRP and a bunch of other roads in that area.  We'll we doing it again this year, probably in August.  I'll post up details once I have set exact dates.

Here's what the rally was like last year:  https://advrider.com/f/threads/full-throttle-touring-150-through-the-rocket-city.647784/page-173#post-40608466
Nice pix Klav!
What was the big scooter being unloaded from the truck?
Love the Honda Reflex. My coffee village buddy has one, and in that correct color...

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

That was a Yamaha Xmax.  It's one of the lighter Maxi Scooters out there.

@klaviator,
thank you so much for this great report of your last years scooter rally. It seems people and rides were gorgeous. Savoured every sequence of it.

If you enjoyed the pics then you would enjoy being there even more.  I don't know where you live but if you are in the eastern half of the USA you should consider joining us this year.  The Maggie Valley area is fantastic for scooter riding.

Northern Italy!  You have some great riding there.  I would love to ride a scooter in Italy.  I used to go to Sicily a lot but never had the chance to ride while I was there.

Living vicariously? I think not Ruffus, especially given the wonderful roads & scenery in Tuscany on your doorstep!
