      Have a safe and fantastic time! Glad you are taking precautions on weather conditions...plus, waiting it out at a watering hole is not a bad thing.

        That storm front is supposed to bring freezing rain up here this weekend. Strange weather we are having this year. Have a good trip.

              Looking at the national weather map, it appears that is good that you left today (Friday), not Saturday.

              Do tell us how you did.

                I made it to Knoxville Tennessee. It was very windy going through Ohio. I had stop and go traffic in Columbus, turns out a car caught on FIRE! I mean this thing was torched! Kentucky and Tennessee is just beautiful. Tomorrow I'm going to do a little exploring.

                Here's my trip stats... read it and weep Jedz☺

                Oh, the 116mph? A Roush Mustang wanted to play... I didn't even have to down shift!

                  the 115 is impressive.

                  And so is the stopped for only 36 minutes in an 8 1/2 hour trip.
                  And so is the 536 miles in 8 1/2 hours.

                    I might be missing 45 minutes or so. When I shut off the motorcycle maybe the GPS also turned off... I left Youngstown Ohio at 8:15am arrived in Knoxville around 5:30

                      The local channel is predicting bad weather down here Sunday. 70% chance of rain and windy. Be safe.

                        I had a fun day today. I did ride the Dragon Tail. I thought it was to tight for the big Yamaha. I pulled over a couple of times to let the Hot Shoes go by. Their must of been a VW thing going on. High Performance VW's everywhere. After the Dragon, I hit rt28 very nice road with sweeping turns... I blasted through Atlanta, I hooked up with this crazy Harley guy. We cut through traffic like a hot knife through butter. Lol I'm at a Hooters now in Valdosta Georgia. 👍

                          From one set of curves to another.

                          Sounds like a good time.

                          Don't forget the request for pictures (from either set of curves).

                              Didnt hear any mention of the storm that is across the upper midwest today. Good. You got south soon enough.

                              Probably no 115mph there today.

                                I made it to moms yesterday. I missed the rain by about a hour. Today we went to the airport. I helped clean the hanger after a big gathering they had sunday.
