[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 989676, member: 28773"] I am going to almost completely agree with this, except that you will not get to enjoy the scenery aspect of the BRP as much if you try to do all of that in one day. It is possible, but you will find it alot of work to make that kind of time on that road. I would really try to break that into a day and a half on the BRP. The best part of the BRP if you are on an FJR is the southernmost 135 miles, don't miss out on that. If you take the route suggested here you will get to hit the "Dragon" which is worth bragging rights if nothing else. On your route the part of the "Moonshiner 28" is actually the straightest least interesting part. The ride south to Franklin or north to Deal's Gap is pretty nice, the part you are on will be mostly wide open 4 lane. It's still nice, but... The road from Cherokee NC to Gatlinburg TN (441) is also a very good road, I would not want to miss it if I were you. The route GeorgiaRoller chose is also very very good. You can't go wrong taking the Roller's advice on routing, he is a master at finding good roads. [/QUOTE]
