Welcome aboard...
I have the same rack, and also a trunk on mine, and I get down to the Dragon at least once a year (usually in a Subaru) but sometimes on one of my bikes, maybe we can meet up sometime (when i can walk again)

I ride the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, etc, and a lot of gravel on my dual sport. My wife just got a 2010 Outback which she loves. |

I had one of the two cycle ones back in the late 60's. It was brand new with a a blown engine. The lady owner didn't know to add oil to the oil injection tank. I bought it for $100 and rigged up a 11HP Briggs to the transmission.
I drove it that way for a year or so then sold it. Top speed was somewhat limited.

I bet it was....  One of those Subaru 360's rigged up with an Ascot motor would probably get around pretty good... |

Where did you get that rack? I would LOVE to get a luggage rack for my ascot. The [soon to be] Mrs. really doesn't enjoy wearing a backpack. I've got some OGIO saddle bags (just last weekend) but a luggage rack would seal the deal for weekend trips.
