Last week we were riding on NC Rt 28 between Deals Gap and Fontana Damn. Sweet curvy road following a stream through the mountains. We got stuck behind a guy riding a Harley with a gigantic piece tied to the back of the bike.

We probably could have found a way to pass him but we spent time trying to figure out what he had strapped to his bike. Coming around a curve we suddenly encountered a road crew blocking one lane. It wasn't an emergency stop but it was unexpected. As the guy came to a stop things didn't quite work out.

His bike was stopped when he tumbled off. He was OK. The amazing thing was that the gigantic load on back did not come loose. Guys from the road crew ran over and picked up the bike.
