Motard and Scooter Sunday Ride...Pics...

[skuuter]

After the GREAT Nana and Mike Surprise on Saturday, and Great Trike Ride with Them and Teal on Saturday, Mitzie and I decided to drag out the Honda CRF230M Motard and Honda PCX125 Scooter for a little 264 mile ride on Sunday. Our Route took in Viola, McMinnville, Bakewell, Sale Creek, Dayton, Spring City, Rockwood, Crab Orchard, Crossville, and Sparta, using a combo of Twisties and Non-Interstate 4-Lanes...Here are a Few Pics.....

















Notice the Old Movie Theatres...One was built in 1939, the Other in 1937...I really hate see the Small Towns boarding up because of the Interstates...!!!...We met This Guy on His Bicycle above Sparta on Hwy 70...He's from New York City and pedalin' to Nashville, Tn.....

Skuuter,
You are correct, a lot of small towns are boarding up because they have lost business to malls and interstates have passed them by.
In Dover, established in 1623, we went through this when we lost the mills and then were hit hard with the closing of a major air base and navy base in the area. Malls were built near by and the downtown area was a mess. The only shops who are there now are what I call "nitch" shops, which sell a lot of things you can't find at the malls. We have a theather that was built in 1925, but that too has fallen to the big mall theathers.
It is sad to see your "home" town go through this.
Thanks for the pictures!

Regards,
