  • I rode through Shenandoah National Park on Skyline Drive from Front Royal, Virginia, it is one of America's favorite mountain drives. Skyline drive is 105 miles, with 75 scenic overlooks. The road runs along the spine of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains.

    At 35 you would never get out of second gear and might even be lugging it.

      Its an awesome motorcyclists road with spectacular views. $15 bucks is a dirt cheap mental health. Your either really old or really poor. Maybe both.
