Heat or no heat, to your body, your tires will be worthless, no matter how sticky. I like you guy's too much. The ride is not worth your health. AND I'M FRICK'N JONESING TO RIDE! LOL. You guy's get more ride time than any of us northern clowns. Take it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Tires stick just fine, it's all the crap they put on the roads up here makes finding traction tough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer skuuter Posted March 10, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yeah, I haven't had tire stick issues, but I've had a coupla' "salt-drifting" experiences lately, with the Triumph and even with the Ruckus......... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer tbzep Posted March 17, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted March 17, 2008 I noticed you took a pic of the trestle at Grinder's Switch (Minnie Pearl) outside of Centerville. That field in front of it will be solid yellow with wildflowers in a few weeks if it hasn't already started blooming. Clifton always looks clean, one of the few river towns that does. I can't believe we never met on any of those roads, because I've been all over them. I think you ride more on Saturday where I've been out that way more on Sunday. Nice writeup to make them all jealous of our stomping grounds. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer tbzep Posted March 18, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted March 18, 2008 My pics are still in the gallery from an old ride report. I'll add a couple with more green in them to make you folks even more jealous of TN in the spring. :goofy: Judging by the bike still having OEM exhaust cans, these were likely taken in the spring of 2005.

That is because after years of fine tunning of the route and finding better connectors, this is the Best and most continuous nice twisty route in Middle TN. :thumbsup: Maybe this year my friend! :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
