Title: mn to tn, rolling out first thing
Post by: JS_racer on April 05, 2013, 06:29:32 PM: Spending days once I get there. Heading to erwin tn. Any good way to get there, or it's going to blow? Lol
Anyone in the area want to hook up? First time there.
Six one two three zero eight four five three zero. Text work great too.
Weeeeeeee here we go, new ak20 and 8983, guess I'm not hating the ride too much.

Thanks guys,
Joel
Anyone know where to get tires down this way, probably need some before I get home.

Hope you are taking a few weeks off, that is gonna be allot of slab to be tortured by to hit the fun stuff. The weather down there is real nice, you are gonna have a great time on the twisty playgrounds.

That's the damn truth. There's ways around. Ride south in MO and turn east. Never have to set foot in this godforsaken state.

tomtom routed me to Indiana and stopped south of inIndianapolis. on 65 I think it was there were tons of wind turbines. gave me a tic of indication it might be breezy. its a lot of slabbing, but for me at this time, thats part of the journey. first day Indianapolis was in the 70's was yesterday, lows are normal highs.

figure I will need a tire before returning home, any good on the bike prices for places down there?

thanks guys
(posted from my phone, hope it seems ok)
