That was a nice ride.

I gotta get a good video posted of some of tennessee's roads. Maybe then I can get your ugly ass to come and ride with me.

Randy what part of TN do you live chances are I have run the roads you are talking about. From Nashville to Collinwood to Knoxville to ATL I have run them . If you want to ride I am game to come home and shred tarmac just let me know. I have a place to stay in Shelbyville just off Rt231.

Jimmy, I am from Tullahoma, one town away from Shelbyville. Both brothers and parents live in Tullahoma=Winchester area. I am in northern middle TN., Carthage. 50 miles east of Nashville.

Riding up and down Monteagle mountain (The Rock) is great, as are the roads near me on smaller mountains. Any where east of Dickson TN is great, for that matter. Nowhere else in america will you find roads with great curves and hills in better condition than in Tennessee.

Paul and Robin are scheduled to come ride with me soon. He may have to watch from the back of the bike.

Randy, I'm planning a ride down the BRP in May with a day at Deal's Gap and surrounding area before heading back north through West Virginia. So I'll sort of be in your neck of the woods.

Plan is to hit up the Dragon on a weekday to hopefully avoid most of the LEO presence.

Tito, you don't get much of a chance to sight see doing the ton in the rain. My sphincter muscle got an excellent work out that day.

Randy, if the bike is not running I have options. Dad says I can ride the Tiger or the Bonneville.
I am an individual. Just like everyone else.

That ride was a total blast. I want to do it again, to get a chance to look around. Plus it was a good crew.

Thanks again Tito!
