2 days and a wake up. Only a 780 mile ride home so we going 580 on 27th then a short 200 home the 28th.
We have been taking it easy last couple days. My shoulder is taking a beating. Day after we get home I have preop physical and June 2nd they operate on my shoulder. Get that out of the way finally.
Up until just before the trip the sidecar was off so I could do a few things with the bike. Then at darn near the last minute put it back on and the changed the rear bike tire back to the car tire. Also put a new car tire on the sidecar. Not the way I like to do things just before a trip. Seems everything worked as it should.
Fuel mileage was with in expected range. Large rig 2 up and loaded . On days when we needed to cover some miles 31-33 mpg. A little more laid back days 34 to 35 mpg. And just enjoying the ride on Blue ridge parkway sticking to the speed limit we were at 40-42 mpg for the day.
51 years riding motorcycles legal on the street. I am hoping for another 10 at least. So Payton can ride it looks like most of the future will be with the sidecars.
Smitty you should have more then ten years. I had two guys stop be in the last month both in there early 90's one on a 76 BMW and the other one on a 67 FLH and they keep putting on miles with no plans of not riding any more.
Outside our door yesterday. Not uncommon to encounter a bear around here.
great shot, reminds me of the last time we were in Gatlinburg we were coming down from the cabin we were staying in and in the driveway of some ones house was a big black bear just sitting there holding their garbage can and going through it looking for food
They opened a J&P Cycles store front in Pigeon Forge. Well worth checking out if you are in the area. Left some cash there on a new riding two suit .
With removable Liners water and Thermal . Well worth what was paid.
