Baileyrock Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well the first 70 deg. weekend brought out all the bikes here in Mid TN and I too took advantage of it myself getting in 412 miles of mostly Solo ride. I took the time to stop and take pictures of some of my favorite spots along my favorite Mid TN route. I have never taken the time to stop and take pics of this route as I'm always riding with others, but this Solo trip gave me the chance to do so! Here is my day as a pictorial. :thumbsup: BTW I just installed a set of Pilot Race tires, new chain and sprockets and fresh oil & filter, I had to wear it out today! Heading into Clifton Had lunch in Clifton! Turned 55,000 fantastic miles on my awesome VFR! Pet Elk! These two black 1098s's and a F4 Agusta pulled into Pucketts net to my bike at the end of the day! There you have a picture of my fantastic day here in Mid TN! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wera803 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Damn, sounds like a great day. I would have much rather been riding then laid up with this bum knee. Looks like it is time to change your mileage in your sig too. :idea3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm sure the Pilot Race tires feel incredible, seems like a pretty extreme choice for the street though. What made you decide to go that route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted March 3, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2008 Oh man you're gonna pass my mileage any day now. Guess I should start riding my VFR again. Thought I was set to pass 60k by the end of '07 but then I got the Ninja rebuild finished. (Well, finished enough to ride legally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u20overboy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Geat pictures Kevin,I live there and your pictures do it justice.I rode the school bus on that road we use to stick our arms out the window and try to touch the bluff.I'm a little smarter now (maybe).Its a wonder I didn't see you my son and I rode to Linden and back mid-afternoon. I would love to ride that loop with you some time I know I'd be playing catch up but would like to see you in action.If anybody wants to float that river(Duck) let me know I've got 4 kayaks and a take out place on the farm.Glad you shared the ride.

Member Contributer Bent Posted March 3, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2008 It was indeed a beautiful day. Skuuter, Mitzie, Honley, and I were in Leiper's Fork and area yesterday. We rode E. Tenn and Mid-Tenn. We kept looking for you but not too hard because we figured you would just be a blur.... :lol: Lot's of interesting people watching at Puckets yesterday in the afternoon. It was kinda like a small circus there. Between Sat. and Sunday, it was over a 600 mile weekend for me in perfect weather. Nice pics, Kevin!! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlecreek Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Some of these places I know where they are.......where is this.....road name, and outside of where please............... :thumbsup: Amazingly enough this is Hwy 46 coming in to Leipers Fork from the south end about 1/4-1/2 mile from Pucketts! I never realized how cool those trees where coming in that way! :blink: I really feel stupid now....as many times as I've came through there. As a matter-of-fact, Me, Mitzie, Honley, and Bent were through there yesterday............. <_< :blink: dont feel bad...i go there weekly and i still dont recognice that photo... :idea3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on, it wouldn't be that much! :blink: Your right BTW as A rear tire won't last me 6 of these rides and that gets real expensive! :blink: I've gone through between 25-30 rears on this bike alone!!! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
