Does she have a sister? Ha!

For now she can double off mine. But yes, she would have to get an MC endorsement. The only difference is that on her license it would only be good for 3 wheelers because she would have taken the test on a three wheeler.
This summer I took one out for a spin just to see how stable and how hard it was to ride. Surprising enough, it handles quite well. Turning and high or low speeds was not and issue, cornering is nothing like a quad with wheel lift. Comfy for the little riding I did. Went on the highway at 120 kph, no issue at all. Lots of power. But it is a high raving machine. But everything I read says that is normal.

Morning folks!


If ya'll ever do make it back down here toward hillbilly country, give me a bit of notice as I'd like to meet up with you somewhere along the way.


I truly believe that some of the best riding in the world is right here in my back yard. Figuratively speaking of course.


A lot of those pics look very familiar.


Here's a couple from my little run down that way last spring. Phone was screwing with me and so I didn't get too many shots.


Top of the mountain on 441 going from Gatlinburg to Cherokee. Man the temps dropped fast once the sun went down. I was glad I put the lowers back on before leaving home.

Not familiar with Fontana Dam so I used the National Park Service site to become better informed and impress KubWood.
