We had 6 bikes show-up for the ride across The Foothills Parkway and US 129 The Dragon . We hooked -up around 6:00 at Paul's ( Wimp ) place in east Knoxville.
We had a high of 95 degree's when we hit the road. We took the long way and made a few stops in the shade along the way ...Not sure what the creek or river is called but everytime we take this route we always stop and check it out.

It started cooling off about the time we hit The Foothills Parkway . We had zero traffic in our way as we crossed FHP . This road is outstanding when you can just roll the power on
Shot from one of the over-look's on Foothills Parkway.
We made Deal's Gap before dark and just hung out waiting on the night . This was Big Al's first day of riding since his heart surgery . He did'nt let the down time get him rusty as he and Lucky 13 was feelin' their oats ....Those guys was rollin acoss The Dragon
Same shot as above right before we pulled out to sling some sparks in the Tennessee mountains.
You can really appreicate how superior the Interstate lights are over the Standard / Tourer when you are screamin' across The Dragon at night as here again Big Al and Lucky 13 was turnin' them loose ( both on Interstate's ) .
These last two pictures was taken at the Calderwood Dam over-look on the Tennessee side of US 129 The Dragon.
