Another great day. 441 out of Cherokee to just before Gatlinburg. Then the river road over to Townsend. Foothills, Dragon then down 28 to Franklin. 28 north of Franklin is very new, caught zero traffic...it was a blast. Plan was to go back up to Cherahola but we ran out of time. Took 64 all the way into TN. Great road, not a twistie mountain road but a very senic haul ass sweeper kind of road. The TN side is beautiful, and looking at the map there is some serious riding over there. Like 30. Tonight in Athens TN. Tomorrow over to Rocky Top the fun way.

This was cool, rapids at low tide.

From the Smokies to Cleveland in a few seconds. F'ing race bike.

Trout here is probably a tiny bit better than Maggie Valley.

Oh, and almost got killed today. The closest I have ever come, even closer than the car that spun out in front of me during rush hour in St. Louis. Running pretty hot on 212, so very twistie, but not running super hot as I am 2up with a boatload of luggage. Very blind hard right hander, I am left side of my lane trail braking into the corner and start to lean and bam...there is the front end of a fucking 18 wheeler right there....and yea, he had a full trailer in my f'ing lane. There is no shoulder. Throttle off, ease on more brake and dive to the white line...that's all the room I can give him. A few more inches to the right and I am going to wreck. Debbie tells me there was only 2 or 3 inches between my mirror and the side of the trailer. And yes, trucks are prohibited on that road. I U turned got the plate and called him into the State LEO's on 911. Fuck that guy.

Great ride today. Back of Dragon, 212,209, 208 etc aka The Rattlesnake. Forgot how nice 19 is from Maggie to Cherokee.

Cc'ing closed. Wheels Through Time was a good stop though. I mss Dale. Got a killer suite at the Casino in Cherokee.

Breakfast!

How you doing Joe? All good down there?

It's the parking brake for the rear wheels.

What is this extra footpeg thing? It's a triked Harley, it only has this one on the left side.

Nice pics! Ty for sharing. How is the pavement there?

I am thinking optical illusion. The center stand is closer to the center so as you lean it does not close the distance to the ground as fast as the pegs which are further out.

Interesting, in that last pic looks like it is going to scrap even before your left foot does.

Is that center stand going to hit before the footpeg?

How much for the ladder?
