I could get good at this not working  but I pray it never happens and I can at least make it to 2014. I may return to work the 20th of this month if the Company doctor and my doctor agree  Took off this morning for the Carolina mountains by way of Deals Gap and The Dragon . Made ( 2 ) cop free passes then the law showed up and messed up my play time  Check out the picture ...Its spring time in Tennessee.  |

Blount County ( Tennessee ) cops in North Carolina  Sad Very sad ...I guess even cops that get paid to harrass motorcycle riders need to eat.  |

Do it ( The Dragon ) during the week if possible and early morning or late evening that way you can drag some hard parts without any worries of cops |

If the TN cops ever get one, you better go find another playground.  |

You folks thats layed off or retired through the week is the time to come play on The Dragon. Check out the crowd at the over-look And it was a most beautiful day with sunshine and temps in the low 70's. Yep, the roads we're going to be riding tomorrow will have lots of different people on them. When I hit them during the middle of the week, it is like have my own private Idaho. I think the next SC group ride should be up 215 to the BRP and then back down into South Carolina on 107... those roads will probably be less crowded on a nice Saturday than 178 and 276. (maybe  ) -Mike |

(maybe ) -Mike I thought about makin' a run to join y'all but we are under a tornado warning till 8:00 tonight ( friday )and I would need a over-night motel stay to get there. I saw 3fanforlife ( Fred ) post about covered bridges and we have 2 that are within a 150 mile ride so we are ridin' to check them out tomorrow. |

Yeah, the weather's bad here today too, but should be good tomorrow. If you've never been on 276 and or 178, we'll have to meet up one day when everyone else is at work, you'd like those roads when there's no traffic clogging them up. Perhaps we'll get lucky tomorrow. Last weekend we got stuck behind a stretch-limo on the way back down from Caesar's Head. There's some covered bridges in South Carolina, but most of them are rebuilt or new... the "real" ones didn't survive vandalism and dis-repair over time. Campbell's Covered bridge is the only remaining historic one... http://www.ohiobarns.com/covbri/sc/40-23-02.htmlSee you at Cheaha... -Mike |
