    Four Days Riding With FastEddieB

    I put the bike on the truck and went up to Lenoir City, Tennessee to do some flying and riding with my high school buddy FastEddieB. Karen, Da Wife, was out of town with girlfriends so we were on our own. Good thing I can cook cause Ed hasn't a clue.
    First day we took Karen's Can-Am Ryker and Ed's TW 200cc Yamaha out for a ride. The Ryker is not my cup of tea. Like riding a quad. Leans the wrong way. The Yamaha is a hoot if you ring it out. 16 HP.
    Next day we went up in the air to scout out twisty roads. After landing we did the Devils Triangle. The following day was long. We met Russ at The Grainery Tellico Plains. Boy do they bake good stuff! Down route 68 to RT 60 to 2 Wheels Only then over Wolf Pen Gap and back to Mineral Bluff. We split from Russ and followed the Ocoee back to Ed's. Eleven hour day. Next day Ed and I ran up the Foothills Parkway and back down Happy Valley Rd. By then my rear tire was toast. I loaded up the bike and headed home today. Lots of fun with an old friend.

                      That turned into a trip south through Spain, then to Morocco and the Canary Islands.
