Glad you had a good time.....Mine sucked

Sorry to hear USMC, what went wrong on your trip? We just had bad weather on the way down, so 2 days of clouds, cold, and some rain.

They had some car show thing going on in PF, and Gatlinburg, OMG whatta zoo! There are TONS & TONS of roads to ride, so I am looking forward to going back! I loved the tail, but there are other roads/rides just like it with less marketing. But it us nice to have pictures of yourself on your ride in full control, I must admit!

UltraNutz, I had no issue riding between 20-35 mph on my Ultra, and no FB scraping. I am sure a sport bike would make it more daring and fun, but somehow I think the risk factor increases as well. ;-)
