I hadn't Ridden since a Week Ago Friday. It's been Cool and Wet Here for almost a Week. Today Started out Cool and there was some Scattered Frost. I got out Early to run some Errands so I could Squeeze in a Ride This Afternoon. With the Sun, the Temp. Steadily Climbed to about 60*F by Noon. The Wife was Taking a Nap and My Daughter was Getting Ready to Go Visit Her Fiance So I geared Up and Took Off. At Cruising Speed the Joe Rocket Mesh and My Fleece Lined Gloves Were Enough to be comfortable but Not Too Much as the Air still had a Nip to It.
Where To Go? I rode a couple of Miles Toward Town and Stopped to put My Earplugs in and Decided that Some Backroad Exploration was in Order so I headed South and West. I soon Found Myself across the State Line In Northwest Tennessee on Highway 97. It Terminates Just West of Paris TN but I didn't want to Go that far so I started Looking for a Side Road to the Right (West) and soon came upon 140 and hung a Right. It is a Good 2 lane with a few curves that meanders into the Small Community of Cottage Grove. After Cottage Grove the Road Straightened up and I was Riding pretty much Due South. I passed by Carmack's Fish Barn in Como TN where they Bring out the food on Platters and in Bowls Country Style. Gotta get back there Soon!=P~ That Road Stops at Highway 54 in Como and I took another Right. A few more miles and I took a Right on TN 190. This is a Road that I have never been on before as far as I know. It is a Decent 2 Lane with NO traffic and a Few decent S Curves. I took it at a Pretty Spirited Pace while Looking for anything that looked Familiar. After 10 or so Miles I came into Palmersville TN and took another Right which would take Me back into KY South of Lynnville KY. This is another Good 2 Lane and I was the Only Vehicle on the Road. While Crossing the Obion River Bottom I Hunkered down over the Tank and Let the 850 Romp. I don't know how fast 7000 rpm in 5th is because it maxed out the 85mph Speedo but She Sure Sounded Nice even with the Earplugs in!:-D Got to Lynville and took another Right and was Home in 15 Minutes. Elapsed Time 1 1/2 Hours, Total Miles 70, Total Smiles-I Lost Track!\\
