Actually, it's the Skyline Drive that starts at Front Royal and then merges to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Be sure to do the Tail of the Dragon on route US129 at the bottom of the Blue Ridge. I did this two years ago on a 10 day outing from Montreal. Plenty of side roads to visit also.
My two cents: if your planning on buying a bike in Montreal, reconsider. Taxes are high in Quebec, plus the cost of the license plates will be around $650 CAN.
This is because Quebec has a public insurance plan that is included in the licencing. You might be better off getting a bike out of the province where it'll probably cost you around $50 for the license.
