Just checked and its 25 degree's on my back porch with heavy frost....BRRRR ....Let's Ride  cooldude  Hookin' up at Hardee's in Clinton @ 9:30 and meeting Paul ( Wimp ) at Honda / Yamaha on Clinton Hwy in Knoxville @ 10:30. They claim high 40's today in the Tennessee Valley it will be much cooler in the mountains even with the beautiful sunny skies.... Anyone wanting to ride is welcome to join us. This is one of my favorite loops crossing The Great Smoky Moutains hittin' The Dragon and Foothills Parkway.

It was 27 when I left the house this morning.  Got out on Brown's Gap Rd. and saw this single headlight behind me.  At first I thought it was a cage with a headlight burnt out; but it was a guy on a motorcycle.  We went thru one curve with a small patch of ice all the way across the road.  My old truck slid a little and I was worried about the bike behind me.  But he made it just fine.  Wish I could be riding with you today Joe but I have to work today and tomorrow.

I don't care anything about hitting any ice today  Shocked It should close to noonish before we hit the mountains . I drove in yesterday with a 22 wheeler and we had some wet spots crossing the rural road I live on from all the rain run-off so I'll be watching those area's when I ride out...Thanks for the heads up " Sport "  Smiley
