Thanks!!

So... my friend, his wife, my wife wife and I left friday night for a 7 hour drive trailering the bikes from the Savannah GA area to the Deals gap hotel right at the tail. Got there at midnight and hopped in the sack excited for the next days rides.

My wife had torn her meniscus last week so she was in a stabilization brake all week. i was going to cancel the trip but she would not let me.

Saturday morning we hop up, get breakfast and get ready for a ride. My wife being the hard ass that she is jumped on the bike in pain and toughed it out. Starting up the dragon we fell in behind an ST1300 and Harley street glide with some very good canadian riders on board. It made for an interesting run. We continued on for about a 200 mile loop around through marysville, and then on to cherokee were we stopped to take it all in.

My wife began to hurt so i cut some time off and ran the moonshiner 28 route back to the hotel. We hung out and met quite a few people and had a good time.

Sunday morning we decided that we were going to make another run of the dragon down and back with the wifes and then a run by ourselves. With the exception of a groupe of asshats running 11mph, literally, for around 3 miles and not letting anyone pass. it was a good run.

I got a ton of compliments on the bike and saw a few other VFRs there.

Hopped in the truck and came home after that.

Here are some shots.
