Who knows where, TN Day 9
Today was just one of those days that we kind of just put the bikes in 5th gear and made some time. After about 380 miles - ouch.....yes my butt was beginning to show signs of that last birthday I celebrated - we made it to Farragut Tn. aka Knoxville West. We now have our boots off and all our aches are slowly fading into the sunset - sunset ahh how far behind could cocktail hour be haha. We really had a great time in Memphis - there was actually one thing I did forget to mention to you.... we were there during the NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION!! How could I forget the Church Ladies!!!!! We were surrounded by them and they were all dressed up in either ALL white, green, or Red (I personally would have chosen red to match my hair haha!). Oh yes there were the pumps dyed to match and lets not forget the HATS - there were high ones, big ones, feather ones, short ones and all matched their outfits perfectly - how did they do that???? Now one might wonder how 2 kind of scruffy harley dudes would wind up talking to this group. Well, as the saying goes, what happens on Beale Street stays on Beale Street haha. Picture this - bike night, a light mist is falling, a sultry 90 degrees, there we were sitting at the bar in Rum Buggie Cafe and we spotted the white church ladies sitting down the bar getting loaded and dancing with the blues band playing. It was pretty darn spiritual I tell you. One of them was actually from Harlem - we talked about how cool growing up in New York was and exchanged Bronx accents.....I really like this town. Well tomorrow we are off to the Tail of the Dragon - a motorcycle icon. Till then....bronx flame and still shaking those hips Big Dog

Weeeelllllll, isn't THAT Special? Humph! Ha, Ha, Ha!!! Real Church Ladies, and at the Rum Buggie Bar, no less! I LOVE IT!!! You two sound like you're having the times of your lives. And now you're heading to the Tail of the Dragon??!!! THE BEST!!! What is it, 6 million turns in 11 miles? You put more wear on your sidewalls than on the bottoms of the tires. There are some unbelievable videos on Youtube showing the Tail and you two will BE there. La vida loca, for sure. I can only be there with you guys in spirit, this time...but there's always Next Time. Happy Trails, and Safe Journey. I can't wait till we can talk about it over some pizza and the very best Muscatel!
