Kevin,

Are you getting that video with a GOPRO?

No, it is a Drift Ghost SA video camera. I did not have it mounted well on the bars, thus the vibration. Also, was still running the stock front forks on that Sporty.

Thanks for the ride Kevin!

Glad you're enjoying. Got a bit more to share from these 5 days.

Day 5-

The last day of the Hot Bike Tour 2016.

We are leaving the Marriott in Knoxville for the last time...

...we have a bit of interstate to ride on...

...as we head toward Marysville...

...from there, almost all the way to Chattanooga, we ride back roads.

Not much in the way of twistys, but lots of fast sweepers...

...and really nice views. Sunday morning...not much traffic either.

Every now and then we pass thru a small town...

...this was a rare occasion! Other bikes were stopping for gas and we did not have to for the 48. We just kept rolling.

After a few of hours of country road riding, we got on a 4 lane...

...and soon after that on the interstate.

More in next post.

Day 5 - the HBT 2016 Concluded-

Wow! After 5 days of riding in the Smokies, this interstate riding was no fun. lol

We pull into the Rolling Rally, right next to the Coker Tire Plant & Museum.

Parked the bikes, met up with Mary, and started looking around.

There were lots of local bikes...

...this one had a really creative A/C cover!

Always good to see Brad's Death Machine with the DK Outlaw 587 A/C on it.

A really clean chop.

We toured thru the Coker Museum...amazing place, if you have a chance to visit, it is worth it. Unbelievably we did not get any pics!

After all the award presentation, collecting our LongRider Certificates, we head to the parking lot.

Mary drove Devins' truck with the trailer & the Tri-Glide from Maggie Valley. We unloaded the TG, and loaded up the three bikes.

Bikes all loaded up, strapped down with a tangle of straps for the ride home.

Devin and Blake took the truck and 3 bikes back to Red Banks, MS. Mary and I rode the TG to an appointment in Nashville, and then on down home in MS.

It was a great time, and we're already looking forward to the 2017 Hot Bike Tour!
