Rode to the south holston dam in bristol today. Very cool place. On the way up we stopped

at the store with the 302 cubic inch riding mower. The triumph thunderbird went down on the

right side. He tried to exit the parking lot on a hill on the asphault and had to stop. Leg would

not reach the ground. He fell hard. Front break lever curled up but didn't break. It held the bike

up. Amazingly the only damage was the front break lever-rear break lever rubber end tore off

and a small scratch on the end of exhaust pipe and a couple scratches on the edge of the

windshield. We expected it to be tore up pretty bad. Grady must be living right. On the way back

on the B.R.P. toward blowing rock mother nature turned on the a.c. for us at least 20 degree cooler.

Couldn't ask for a better day!

Good report.  How did the scooter do?  I've thought about one if I have more problems with my knees in the future.

It's a 600cc honda silverwing. Normally he ride's pretty easy. He let it roll a couple of times

in the tight stuff. It must handle pretty good. I had my valk about as fast as i wanted to run

behind him. From takeoff it's impressive for a 600cc automatic.
