And if you are really ambitious, have you driven the 470 mile Blue Ridge Parkway from Charlottesville, VA to the Smokies in NC?

All of these are great driving roads and good for break-in as they allow for a lot of speed and throttle variation.

I have to agree, just last week I was in the Thurmont area and then the Catoctin - swallow falls area and my 135 was loving it! Hum, so was I.
the roads are great. The back roads aren’t narrow or lopsided or raggedy. It seems like they were all just paved. I am going back soon. God bless Maryland roads.
