Looks like I ain't gonna make this one. I'm clear for weather so I was happy about that. Time change puts me in Indy by dark so that was gonna suck. But, Its been raining here last week and we are behind on drilling wheat. Gonna be nice for over a week here so this takes priority. The family just bought another 27 ac that ajoins our farm so we have to start ripping out 1/2 mile of fence row soon. See ya on the Bourbon run in June.

Really wanted to ride this one myself, but I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder 2 weeks ago.
Looks like I won't be riding anywhere for a while yet. Safe winds ya'll. John

What's up Frog long time no see ....We'll be taking Hwy.70 and Natchez Trace most of the way to Lexington anyway you can be in Knoxville ,TN on thursday night or friday morning at 9:00 ( eastern time ) ? I'm in Athens ,Alabama right now and don't have a map with me but I'm also going to be jumping off and back on Hwy.70 a couple times in route to go around towns with redlights and to hit a few cool roads with lots of twisties. If you can swing it Knoxville would be the best place to get with the group plus you'll be able to get the most out of the ride.....Always enjoy your company and ridin' with you Frog....Bring It....LET'S RIDE |

I'm heading up Friday morning. Really looking forward to this one....I missed the Blue/Grey ride.
Is anyone riding in from Atlanta/North Georgia? Some company would be nice.

Big Tom and I will be leaving Johnson City at 12 noon. Tom said he has some free
tickets to cash in at Cherokee. He said there was a free meal involved. Kinda round
about way, Ashville, Cherokee, Gatlinburg, and should be in Knoxville aroung 5.
I think! maybe! what the hell, look for us when you see us.
