Riding an old friend again

[slo1]

Twenty years ago I flew to Nashville, borrowed a 5th gen, and rode to Charlotte NC on all the best roads. Went home and bought one soon after.

Last week I flew to Nashville, borrowed the same bike (only 22k miles now) and spent 4 days riding some of the same roads.

I now understand why VFRD meets in Franklin. We stayed in Townsend, and just rode everything we could in the area.

It was epic, and I will not wait another 20 years to head east again.

We meet in Franklin every May. Come join us and you will find even more roads that the locals share with us. There is also a Fall Ride in mid September that moves to different locations just to keep it interesting. We usually end up with a couple of groups so everybody can find a ride.

Great photos.  Thanks for sharing! 🙂

 

I've been fortunate to ride amazing roads in that region several times, including during the VFRD spring ride a few times.  I was hoping to get there again this summer, but it probably won't happen.  Maybe next year!
