Softtopper is awesome. I can roll up the sides & the dogs can ride in the back. You can roll the whole thing down & forward in seconds like a boat canopy if you need to carry something big. I installed it by myself in about 30 minutes & that was with me reading everything twice.

Meh, ok she should have her gloves on, but that's it...Good form and I envy them ! I wish I could be there....Low 40s and upper 30s here in Chicago

I ride with my hi-beam during the day for my safety

Cheers,

Just what we need, another "I'm not on my bike" cage sticker.

They serve a nice purpose though, it seems those are the drivers that are more likely to be a jackass to a rider.

PS Not the photo itself, but what I was doing.

I like that, a really cool pic. Even without JVB (or because of that? Heh, heh!

)

Grouchy much?

I was up there on Saturday with my girlfriend. We rode from Athens to Tellico Plains, across the Skyway and into Robbinsville. WAY too much traffic around the Dragon so we skipped that and rode to Cherokee and then on to Mt. Mitchell. Then back into Asheville for dinner and down to Franklin, NC for the night. There are so many better roads than the Dragon, if you'd just venture out and do a little wandering.

It was cold and rainy most of the day.

Oh, and I hate trikes.

You really don't know much about this part of the country.

MiniMike does a hell of a lot for the ADV community and dual sporting in general.

He has cleaned trails, given help and has an awesome store in Tellico Plains.

I'll make it a point to drop by for a visit when I'm up there during the off season.

Beautiful cool, foggy weather for a ride, I see.

Minimike is the real deal.

Yea, any monkey can ride a 4 lane in 75 degree weather.

Crowds will be thinning with the weather and we can get back to normal...

Anyone with local knowledge translate that for? Trying to figure out where they are.

Ghost Town Harley-Davidson is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership located at 82 Locust Drive, Waynesville, NC.

could be US 74 Smokey Mt Expressway or US 276 or the BRP or lots of other roads

Don't worry, tedder would never say that to anyone's face--he's much too big of a pussy for that. He only makes snide comments about other people behind their backs.

And yes, tedder, I would love the opportunity to say that to you in person, not behind your back where you couldn't hear it.
