Wow what a whirlwind trip.We left early Saturday morning Left Hamilton  traveled north on 43 to Florence where we caught 17 to Tennessee line  then rode 13 to I40 then took 48 to Centerville (1 heck of a road) to  100 & LOVELESS Cafe...Sunday was miserable, it was 97 in Nashville  ...we might have rode 30 miles. Monday what a difference a day makes..  was cool no humidity.. we took a different route home.. we traveled thru  Smyrna, Murfreesboro, then 269 to Tullohoma, Lynchburg, Pulaski, then  11 to Rogersville, AL  then home ...Did almost 600 miles round trip ( bout 360  round trip in normal route to N'vile)...    
 A couple things about  the new bike.....It's a BEAST on the freeway, it's so smooth at 75-80mph  (GPS SPEED) ....I checked fuel mileage 2x and averaged 46 & 48 MPG  which is about 5 to 7 better than my old bike, I was so surprised at  that as I was 2 UP and LOADED ...pretty darn good http://bamarides.com/ride/Smileys/don/respect-048.gif
