The Hoot is okay. We really didn't find too many deals with all the Vendors but the countryside is worth going. Deals Gap is not far away. Go there and get your T-Shirt or sticker, definitely. Try to go early on a Tuesday morning. That should help with the Superbike factor.
The ride to the Tail is probably the best part. The Cherhola Skyway is absolutely beautiful. Also, you may want to check out the ride to the Motorcycle Museum. Nice ride, good lunch, and many neat old bikes that all still crank up.
Another ride to consider is over to Asheville, NC to see the Biltmore Estate. It's amazing. It's supposed to be the largest house in America. Plus you can go to the winery out back and have a tasting.
As was said earlier, if it's not raining. We got stuck on top of a mountain at 6000 ft and had a bout 5 inches fall on us in an hour. That sucked.
Here are a couple of pics...

Remember the Superbike factor that I spoke about???

Have fun!!!
