    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      No, the SV, these guys ride Beemers Fast. The KLR ain't built for that.

                      We took Highway 79 across Kentucky Lake to Tennessee 232 (AKA the little dragon). 232 South to Tennessee 47 and East on 47 to Erin TN. At Erin we caught 46 into Dickson. Found a great local restaurant called the Hummingbird in downtown Dickson for lunch. We returned via Tennessee 49 through Van Leer then back up 47 to the ferry across KY Lake. About 200 miles on the day.
