I have a little background on FS 711. The road was in better shape up until about ten years ago. The section of better pavement used to be called”Rossi’s Driveway”… due to the curves, another story goes that back in 72, Jimmy Carter was going to build a retreat. Another story and I think the true story is at one point the road was to continue and connect with Lake Nantahala. It was never completed and neither was Carter’s retreat up there.
How smooth is that BMW 1250 been thinking about my next bike being a adventure bike but I like you I don't want to ride to technical of roads just get back on some good roads like what you are riding. Been thinking about the BMW and the Harley-Davidson Pan American
I tried out the Pan America and it was a very fine motorcycle, I just thought the BMW seemed a little more balanced, and they have been in the Adventure bike business longer than anyone. I really don’t think you could go wrong with either. It’s as smooth as you can expect from a twin cylinder
You mentioned starting in Tipton NC, but I'm having trouble finding USFS 711. Can you provide lat/long coordinates? Thanks for producing great content! I'm always looking for new FS roads
