Maggie valley June 2019

Been thinking about it and figure screw it. I got 861 miles to ride from Henryetta Oklahoma to the holiday motel in Maggie valley. Goggle says that is a 12 hour 41 min ride. Thinking i can do that in a straight run. May be wrong but Then again. Have room reservations from Friday to Monday morning. Vacation time starts Wednesday and after much thought figure leave out early Wednesday morning and ride hard. Show up early find a motel in the area until room opens up at the holiday. Bike is more than ready for a solid run and so is the rider. Last time i made a run like this i was 38 years old. Now sitting at 61 years old lets see if this a bit over the hill still has the heart to ride. See you all late Wednesday night or very early Thursday morning. Just somebody anybody have a COLD COORS BEER HANDY.:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:
Sonny don't beat yourself up like that it aint worth it. Stay the night around Knoxville so you fresh for the twisties entering the smokies especially if you're riding the dragon in. Its much funner when you are not burnt out from highway miles.

I don't want to tell you what to do or not do.
But our 3 bike group will be 2 hours from Tellico Plains, TN on Wednesday night. If you stayed in Cookville,TN Wednesday night then you would also be 2 hours from Tellico Plains. You are welcome to meet up with us in Tellico Plains on Thursday and ride to Maggie Valley via the Cherohala Skyway, Dragon, and Moonshiner.

@ 61 years old, you will be the youngster of our group.:)

Cookeville is 10 hour ride from Henryetta
and..... it's a 666 mile run (sounds devilish):evil:

The Cherohala is the s**t. Long sweepers, smooth pavement, 5000 ft., light traffic, no cops. Rode it last week after the Dragon and no comparison. Dragon had heavy traffic, cops, idiots and the day before 2 guys were airlifted because one guy was riding over his head crossed the lane and hit another guy head on who was minding his own business enjoying his ride.
 
Your Charlie looksa bit like my wee Ruffy..

Best time to ride the dragon is during the week
 
Again with the question mark!!!!
I can assure everybody that I am a straight heterosexual male with not a trace of goat fetish in me.

IDK, we passed a pickup truck coming back a few years ago that had a goat tied in the back, there was drool dripping out of your helmet..
