This ride pretty much started for me on thursday evening when Hal from Indiana showed up in my hometown. We rode over to the local bike night for supper and to check out the bikes and local rock band.The dude that owned this 1600 Beemer told me he could go to the bottom of the hill and do a wheelie through all six gears . I claimed " Bulls**t " on him and told him to go for it I'd love to take a few pictures . He pretty much would'nt have nothing else to say to me after I told him he was full of s**t.He did let me check it out just from sitting on it I don't think a long road trip would be that comfortable.
After leaving The Lube we hooked up with Gordon,Greg and Paul and took a ride through the much cooler night air around beautiful Norris Lake and the Clinch River.
We had a nice group show-up friday in Tellico Plains for the ride across Cherohala and The Blue Ridge Parkway.
Paul took a nasty bee sting to the ear on Cherohala we made a stop here to let him ice it down .
We hung out at Deal's Gap and had lunch then made our way on The Moonshiner 28 taking the long way to Maggie Valley for the night.
Saturday morning we hit the BRP again the weather was perfect I had a jacket on about half the day.
A few pictures from The Blue Ridge Parkway .
Rolled into the hook-up point for " The Meet In The Middle Ride " in Sparta ,NC .I'd like to thank all the riders that showed up in my group coming from the south heading north some great rider's in the group. I'd also like to thank the folks that rode with Mark from the north end heading south I enjoyed hangin' out with y'all and enjoyed the parking lot party at the motel.
Sunday we made our way back toward the house by way of The Snake
We rolled into Clinton,Tennessee yesterday evening I had no more than parked my bike and stepped in the house when the rain started and it's not stopped since in fact we are under flash flood warnings until tuesday evening.
" The Money Shot " not like my normal but words we could all live with. This sign is on The Shady Valley Country Store at the cross roads of The Snake.
