Had a great little ride today. The weather was just about perfect but for some reason I drove right at 100 miles before I saw my first bike. :

I got in right at 300 miles today.
I took off from Greeneville TN and headed the long way to the Asheville highway. There are some great country roads and I was in no hurry to get anywhere. I had my XM going with Track 14 playing my favorite Bluegrass songs. :bigthumbsup: Got off of 70 and headed toward Hot Springs NC and took 209 most of the way to Maggie Valley. I think 209 is one of my favorite roads around here. I was really working the Spyder on that road today.
My first stop was Maggie Valley where I met with Dale the owner of Wheels Through Time. He really dug the Spyder so I asked him if he wanted to ride it and he said you bet. He took off and spit rocks for 30' or better. He came back with a big ol grin on his face.

It was cool to see him riding something that wasn't 80 years old or better.
Dale was getting ready to mow the lawn. :bigthumbsup:
This is the bike they're giving away this year. It was Bad to the Bone.
Dale coming back from his ride. :doorag:
Stopped by the Kickstand Lodge for a pic.
Next stop was the Hellbender
River shot on 28
Got to Deals Gap and the Guys and Gals from
www.EastTNRiders.com were there having a blast on some pit bikes. That was great fun to watch. :bigthumbsup:
Worked the Dragon a bit and stopped for the photo shot. It was great to be in the wind again but there were more than a few time I was wishing I was on my 9 but I'm waiting on some seals so I can put the new rear-end back together. I hope to be on it next week. :doorag:
