Default down to Tennessee we go

yesterday my dad, my brother(LJ.Speedmaster), one of our buddies, and me all went down to Tennessee. it was a great day, sun shining, good temps in the 60's. most of the leaves are gone, but there were still some leaves holdin' on in areas.

we left at 9am and got back at about 4 or so, it was a short trip of only 283 miles but we all had a great time.

i love goin' down to tennessee. there are some awesome roads down there. we didn't ride down there to see anything in particular, just ride some good windin' curvy roads.

here's a cool curving bridge over the East Obey River





here's a pic of the river. super clear.





left to right, Brother, Dad, Jimmy




here's the place we ate at. The Overton Restaurant and Motel.
pretty good food. i'd recommend it.



here's a pic of me(AJ) on the left and my brother(lucas) on the right.


great little single day trip.

Sounds like a great ride, AJ. I don't come from a motorcycle family, so let me tell you, enjoy those rides with your Dad and brother and consider them as something special.
