Default Epic Journey (pics)
Well maybe not epic but I did just return from a journey. Me and my buddy Doc left out Friday morning and returned Tuesday evening. All together we rode over 800 miles. We started in Franklin TN just south of Nashville and went as far as Maggie Valley NC to the motor cycle museum there. We had a great time on a lot of good roads. No problems with the bikes or gear. What a life!!



loaded and ready

sayin' good buy to the old lady

Oh and by the way today I am officially a geezer turning 60 @ 11:25 pm today.
