Default first trip

Made my first trip on the bike since i got it finished. Made it from horse cave ky to gatlinburg tn. Pretty good little trip considering we took the back way down and it took us about 7 hours lol shoulda took about 5. But we made it, and saw alot of great scenery. Spent one day riding over the mountains and over into cherokee. It was a great time.

Looks like fun. I just moved from that area down to SW Florida, and I completely miss riding in the east Tennessee mountains. I can't wait to get back up there!!! Good pics, it looks like the Foothills Pkwy, am I right?

And who says you can't buy happiness? That grin says it all. Looks like a good trip, and you obviously enjoyed it. Now it's time to plan for the next one.

Nothing like a nice road trip. Looks like you picked a great route: awesome scenery.

Another great thing about a nice long trip is that you figure out pretty clearly what you want to do to your bike next (grips/pegs, sissy bar + rack, windshield, seat, etc)

Any ideas what that'll be?
