Hey guys I've been gone for a while to my busted computer, I stayed for three days at this place :
http://www.blueridgemotorcyclecamp.com/
I higly recomend this camp for ANYONE going to the BRP, it 6 miles of really fun twisties from the BRP. While we were their I went to asheville (Notable, because I've never been to a citie..... It sucked), Lookingglass falls and mt. mitchell. The whole time I was their, I rode on the back of my Uncle's BMW R1200RT, It was so awesome.

And when I got back, my other uncle had this motorcycle at his house, we traded for 50 bucks, all it needs is gaskets for the carbs and lots of penetrating oil and love (And new tires... their dry rotted...), a lil' ajustments, theirs some thing wrong with the front brakes (he said their were no brakes, and said it had shoes or something.... A lil help on that would be nice)

Bike:

What I know(May not be accurate):
It's an '81
It's Chain Drivin
It's a Honda
It's a V4
It's a 550 cc
It weighs about 1000 pounds

None of this is 100% for sure accurate. Can any one tell me what Bike I have?

Looks to me like it's a Honda CB650. Just a few corrections; it's a 650cc inline 4 and weighs about 400lb. If it needs front brakes you have to buy brake pads, as the front has a disc brake. Rear brake is a drum type, which means you need brake shoes.

Sounds like you had a great time. I drove the Parkway years ago (in a cage), and it was a fabulous good time. Nice to know about the campground - try and mention it in the travel forum as well.

Cheers,
