The day started off without a cloud in the sky and the forecast was for low 70's perfect day for riding. Temperature starting out was 57 degrees.
I was riding over to Ducktown to meet with everyone and rode through Greasy Creek that ended up by the Ocoee river, at this stop there is supposed to be a lake but the river and lake was low today.
Riding up the Ocoee, they had just turned on the water and it looks so white coming over the dam here.
I am bad with names, I think her name is Michelle, who rode pillion with her husband Mike who had an 07 FJR. Here we are in Tellico Plains after riding up hwy 68 getting ready to ride across the Cherohala Skyway.
I love to see bikes like mine, I don't know why but I think they look so cool together...
Parked behing us was Larry with his Honda 919, Steve and his Hyabusa, and Jose with his SV 650, I hope I got all those bike names right...
These pictures are at the pull off at one end of the Dragon's Tail, as we watched traffic come and go there were almost 3 accidents just the short time we were there. Bikes were coming down the hill fast as people in both cars and bikes were pulling out into the road. One SUV almost hit Larry's bike from dodging another car coming down the hill. As we stood there a guy dropped his bike from losing his balance and broke off his right brake lever. I remember it was a bright red and looked new, there was a collective groan from us all as we watched it.
These are the people who rode yesterday, from the left is Larry (Mudarra), Steve (Orpheus), Mike from FJR forum, Jose from GSB forum, and Mike and Michelle from FJR forum. It was a pleasure to ride with all of you!
P.S. We never got to the fried pies because we were riding so much, we got there an hour after it closed. I know there was more time for others but I was riding and eating from 8am to 8pm, the time just seemed to get away from us while riding.
