Hardees 10 am and the representative Wild Bunch rides again.



This is Tod on "Big Red" a Kawasaki Police Bike with Mazda Miata Front End, Jet Ski Snout and all sorts of mods.



We took a back road to get to Middlesboro Kentucky, I knew we were in Kentucky because of all the folks riding cycles with no helmets.

I talked Gordon into a road less traveled, and we should have left it that way, a ATV would have been more appropriate.

Tod lost a fender to a  broken weld of course due to the rough coal truck/ logging truck road.

Fender off and bungee corded to the passenger seat.



That's one of my working budd's in the read shrt talking to Lucky 13, and Michelle his wife that really likes to

cruise with Jeff on the back of the Classic, Jeff goes by Mad Dog not because he wants too , that is his nickname, a little hot headed, but a great

fellow.




Of course Gordon had to try to wheelie it.




The group split up later as we got closer to home, Smooth Rider to get a new Door Knob, Gordon to get a masonary saw, and we

sat down to dinner.

Steak house variety.

Then onto Big Ridge State Park, one of the Parks set up in Tennessee during the depression to help people out with Jobs, The CCC Variety, or

Civilian Conservation Corp, my wife's Great Grand Father, came all the way from Alabama to work here.

This was part of the Norris Dam TVA Project, and became a model for all of Tennessee State Parks from then to now.

Joe still works for the Tennessee Valley Authority.

On the back side of the Park a fellow has some exotic beasties, here are the ones that came out today to play.



Images of the Water Buffalo are a little fuzzy, with the temperment they have , I was close enough.

Nice report Al  cooldude   I had way too much going on here to ride again today mainly getting my yard mowed  Sad   Still have my fingers crossed that I can get off next weekend to make " Britman's Memorial Weekend Ride " in Clayton , Georgia. If the steel comes in I'll be working if not then I may get off. I think Gordon is going now as well.
