This was a weekend for Spyders in Natchez. I have the only one based here. Saw two visitors this past weekend... friends said they saw a girl on a black one so it must have been you. Come back to see us.

And yes, the Natchez Trace is a great ride... 444 miles all the way to Nashville, Tennessee without a stoplight.

Flamingobabe,

Glad you had a great time. Your last post about the Natchez Trace inspired me to ryde it on the way home from Gatlinburg. Going to catch it south of Nashville and follow it all the way down.
