Hey All, Sorry so long, since i got back from the trip been crazy busy at work..  Man what a sweet ride this summer, except for a couple of heavy rains it was awesome.. The ride up thru Ga was hot but the Sirus radio i put on helped pass the time nicely.  The ride up thru TN and KY mountains was amazing, but the best part was coming back down and running thru the Smoky Mountain National Forest, that was a total RUSH!!  If anybody has ever ridin it they will totally agree with me, and for those of you that havent..you have to..it was Awesome!!  One thing i found out tho, i only had my leather jacket with me, and going thru those passes in the mountain got cool but i need to find something lighter as that was too heavy.  Wish i had some pics to post, but i was so busy enjoying the ride i forgot to stop and take some photos, (duh) but plan on doing that run again hopefully in the spring and will take some then. All the additions i made to the bike really made the trip more comfortable.  I had my pack that was big enuf to use as a backrest, along with the risers i put on, put me about 2 in back so i could kick back against my bag and roll..wish i had put on the highway bars tho.  The airhorn i put on came in hand a couple of time with nitwits not paying attn that i was there and tried to share the same lane i was in..LOL.  The Airhawk i put on was nice, but i think i will prob change to a mustang seat before the next long ride.  I think i am going to take her and head down to the keys sometime this month for a weekend, i think that nice long ride over the bridge will be cool.  Anybody interested in a ride from tampa down to the keys?  Give me a shout if you are, would be glad to have the company.  Well I think i am going to hit the sack, everybody have a great weekend and keep it safe!!
