wbw6cos Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Morning time in the parking lot at my hotel yields more bikes, albeit non-BMW models. They have lots of farkles, which is nice. Do you notice my RT? Link to comment

wbw6cos Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hey guys that I rode with on the Abingdon route (Chris, Joel, Lowndes, etc) along the way we passed a camera guy set up on a curve and I forgot their web site. Does anybody know where that was? I want to see if I can find my photo. It may take me a while to look up my track on the GPS, which will wait until after I get home. Thanks in advance.

Lowndes Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 William, I saw the guy but did not see a sign or name. I went thru my vids but my cam stopped before we went by him. I have the track and will search, too. It seems to me he was before we got to Shady Valley, TN. Lowndes 1 Link to comment

I saw his faded sign, but 10 seconds after I read it, I forgot. At least you got me close enough to start a search. The only times I knew where I was were at the starting point, turn around point (lunch,) and finshing point. I will have to look at the maps to see where we went. All I can remember is following a bunch of BMW's and a KTM Super Something-or-Other. HA Link to comment

I still had about 2 gallons of gas, however, I could not get the syphon to work and we had to wait for Ken Martin to return with a newly purchased gas can & gas. 2 Link to comment
