Wasn't feeling good this morning so I took the day off just to chill out I've worked 7 days a week for the last five weeks with this past weekend my first off. I got to feeling somewhat better around 11:00 this morning and thought this would be a good day to ride up in the mountains.





Took a couple passes at The Dragon with very little traffic ( What a RUSH ) .



I think I only saw one other bike on Foothills Parkway ( I love this road when you can let the fat girl eat ) .





When I came off Foothills Parkway I thought to myself maybe Little River Road will be the same with little traffic. This is one of the most beautiful ride's in The Great Smoky Mountains with tight curves and nice hammer-down sweepers. Picture below is " The Sinks " on the Little River.




So many " Money Shot's " so little time.








I've seen alot of people that thought they were cool , but then again Lord I've seen alot of fools.

Where's the Smokin' Joe Highway?  I know there's got to be one up there somewhere.   ;)
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Great pictures Smokin Joe. Looks like you did the same route that me, Ronnie (from work) and David (Warlock) did when we were there for the FCR last year. Love me some Tail-of-the-Dragin, Foothills Parkway and Little River Road.
Ride safe myfriend, Hope to ride with you again soon.

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

Hmmm... maybe we can make some kind of auto-scraper that scrapes Joe's posts out of
spacebook and reposts them here?   :cooldude:
