Well, only for me...seeing as how she's MY Fat Lady..... .....

I met my friend Arona at the Sears parking lot for a ride to the North Georgia Mtns....I took a few pics of the Big Green Dragon while I waited on her to get there......seeing as how I had cleaned a few bugs off of her for this ride....










Heck, even One-eyed Willie and Little Green Dragon were all excited....see the smile on their face??!!.....




We hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I twisted Arona's arm into eating at the Texas Roadhouse Grill with me....I should own stock in that place!!.....I didn't take any pics there....I was too busy eating....we mosey'd on North and hit the Richard B Russell Scenic Parkway....it got us up out of the heat, but they haven't cut any grass at the pull-offs in a while..... .....



Not sure what that mountain in the distance is called...but it had a "bald" spot on it.....




I had my tripod with me, so I got a few shots of us together......and alone....









but THIS was the BEST shot of the day....just LOOK at that view!!!.......




I took her on Wolf Pen Gap road....kinda similar to the Dragon in NC/TN......the "Tar Snakes" got her a little concerned, so she took her time on that road....better that than her hurting herself....we did it from the fun direction where you are on the outside edges of the road looking off the side of the Mountain..... ......made a couple of water stops and gas fill ups and ended up at a DQ for a cool ice cream to end the ride.....it was sad when we had to split up in different directions to go back home......not a very long ride, nor as "spirited" as I'd have liked it to have been(at least until I took a few backroads home alone)......all in all, a good day spent with a friend sharing the love of the road on our steel horses.....

I'm almost too lazy to clean my own bike..... .....

If'n you offer enough $$$.....maybe Smokin Joe or Detn8er would give yours a good cleaning.....those old boys have dedicated tooth brushes for the hard to get places, and I've even seen Detn8er clean his AND wax it while riding down the road.....and Joe knows where every car wash is on any ride he's taking.......Punisher is another good one....he's helped those guys and others make a Valk shine like a new penny!.......

You know...  You CAN rub the paint off a bike... I don't wash mine very often because I don't want to wear the paint out.
