Not me Ron but I would have stopped by to say howdy if we had known you were there. Which rest area where you at? We live about 15 miles from I40 Exit 407. That is the one you take to go to Dollywood.

Yesterday was such a dizzying day of driving, I cannot recall which rest area for sure, just that I was between Morristown and Knoxville. I was driving my Jeep, towing an open trailer with a blue motorcycle on board. The RV's sure looked inviting after 9-hours in the Jeep!

Bama...I'm with you ..I did just about 8 hours in the Buick yesterday...as I am still heading home from QZ. (I have another 3 hours to finish off the trip home today)
I did not see anyone from the group on the freeway-but I did pass many Monaco products....and I was sure wishing I was in the passenger seat in one of them.
The important question is ... Were you heading home or out with the Jeep and bike...and did you have fun?

I was heading home with my "new" scoot. Rain set in last night and I can't even ride it.

So Ron, is this where you were coming from:?

COLBOCH HARLEY DAVIDSON MORRISTOWN, TN 1 (800) 843-9209

It just stopped raining here about an hour ago. Rained all $%# day and I don't mean a sprinkle. When I walk the dogs the ground has a squishy sound. My sister-in-law said today we need to put some pontoons on the Monaco. Starting to think she may be correct.

A Hardly Shop! My gawd man, I only have one full time job. I didn't think you could even pass through the doors of an HD shop unless you could prove a net-worth of 7.3-million dollars!

Naw, I picked up a Sazook 750 at the metric shop in Morristown. Can't seem to shake the need for speed, ya know?

As for the rain, I feel for you. I hate camping with the dogs when everything is either wet or muddy (or both)! Love the sound of rain on the roof though, good snoozin weather.

Sounds like your main squeeze better hold tight with that Sazook 750 or she might slide off the back!

"Soggy Bottom, TN"

If she ever has time to ride, I'll put her on the ST1100 (has a backrest). There is barely enough room on the Gixxer for me, let alone a passenger. Errrrr, and that's just the way I like it.
