That’s not wasting gas, that’s living!
OP
That is on the Blue Ridge Parkway between Bedford VA and the Rt 60 exit. I think Bedford to Waynesboro is the prettiest section in VA.

There aren’t really any bad sections of the Parkway to ride! Later in September is the perfect time to hit that route.
Good for you.

Good therapy in the wind. Glad you got it out! I've been doing short scoots on the Valkyrie this week.
Thought that looked familiar, and I agree the section of the Parkway from the Peaks of Otter to the beginning of the Skyline Drive is stunning beyond compare.
I wasn’t on a motorcycle, but driving home from Contender’s place last Fall. I drove a fairly long section of the Parkway.
That was the first weekend of October, beautiful weather and yes, hundreds of motorcycles.

I love going up on the Pkwy in the summer because it's always about 10° cooler. It was 77° here yesterday and 66° up there. I probably make the circle I did yesterday 5 times a year. It's only a little over a 200 mile loop.
My second favorite part is down around Boone NC. to Cherokee NC. But I love the Smoky Mountains anyway. It's all a pretty ride in that neighborhood. I probably would have to admit as long as the wheels are turning and I'm not sitting stuck in traffic it's all pretty.

And they charge you to ride the Skyline Drive, or they did the last time I did that part. I have not been on that section in years.

I love the Valkyrie. They were some of the coolest bikes made. Last fall I was at the shop getting a tire changed and they had a 98? model in for a carb rebuild, all 6 of them. The thing still ran like a Swiss watch.
Looks like a fine and fun way to waste a bit of gas! 
Keep the shining side up looks so fun I also miss riding
Contributing to global warming, I see. Done the same many times in my life. Nothing better than riding a motorcycle in a beautiful area on a beautiful day.
OP
Soooo... same place on the Pkwy today, just a different bike. I met one of my friends and we rode the Rattlesnake Atv trail off Rt 130. The trail head is next to the Pkwy so we hit that and took Rt 60 down the the town of Amherst for a refreshment. It was a fun day.
No such thing as "wasting gas" in my opinion.
