My Mother has been gone for several years now so after my kids all checked in with their mother this morning I went for a ride.;) I headed across Kentucky Lake and headed South on "The Trace" which is the North-South corridor of the Land Between the Lakes National recreation area. The sun was out, the sky was blue, just about a perfect day. The Buffalo were feeling especially photogenic today.

This guy walked right up to the fence and posed for the camera.

Then this couple drove up in this Splendid 63 Vette

After I left the Buffalo I stopped at one of the many old Iron furnaces found in the LBL.

I went on out the South end of the LBL to Tennessee 232 for some corner carving fun.

It was early afternoon and I was ready for a break so I headed home via the backroads of Northwest Tennessee. I didn't set the Odometer but something like 125 miles on the day. A fine day it has been!:)
 
Seems like yesterday you were laid up with apprehensions about riding again.

Guess NOT !! ;) Nice photos.
 
LOve the pics. I was at that very same spot last summer probably looking at the same Bison. Didn't see the vette though.

Later that trip I went over the handle bars of my bicycle and seperated my shoulder, so I also made an unscheduled trip to Paducah to the hospital. I showed my three kids why you should always wear a helmet while riding a bike :rolleyes:

I told my wife LBL and surrounding area would be fun on a motorcycle (I didn't own one then). I'll have to take the motorcycle next time we camp there.
 
No camping there right now due to record lake levels. All side roads off The Trace have barricades until the water recedes.
 
Good to get out....nice pics. How are you liking that SV650? Didn't you used to have the GSX1100G? Much lighter and more nimble now?

I like it a lot, losing 200 pounds of motorcycle makes the twisty stuff much more enjoyable.;)
