I'm just plain jealous as hell!! What a beautiful place and day to ride Joe. Your bike is beautiful. Would love to Custom paint the I/S and will some day soon. I will be up there in a month and can't wait to ride the mountains for the first time on my Valk. Thanks so much for sharing.

As always Joe, great ride report and pics. Can't seem to find my way clear to get back down to those gorgeous mountains you call home. Your ride report and pics are the next best thing. God made some beautiful country, we are indeed, privileged and lucky to sail through it for a while.  |

Are you ridin' out with us friday morning ? We are meeting at Hardee's in Clinton @ 10:30 and then riding down to Tellico Plains to hook up with Paul ( Thumper ) from there crossing The Cherohala Skyline maybe hit The Dragon a time or two and on over to Maggie Valley. Saw this bike and it made me think of you  |

This last trip to Maggie Valley was about as much fun as I ever did have on a motorcycle
Between the trip to bridal falls and dry falls, toad stranglers, 28 the dragon foothills parkway 73 thru smokey national forest, the cherahola, the blue ridge parkway and the little road that don and tracy led me thru near tazewell it just dont get much better. Even the 771 miles home was a great ride
And I got to see MP give Smokinjoe a ride in his sidecar, That was one for the ages
Add to it terrific friends and meetin new friends like Whiskey, Big Al, Mike from SC, Thumper and Duffy and Thunderbolt we are pretty blessed indeed riding these awesome machines and breathing the free air of the USA
Wish I could get away again but once a year is all I can do
Have fun boys !!

Well, if the rain clears up a little more, I will be there with a group this Friday. Anything to look out for or be especially aware of? Thanks, Steve
