On a really serious note, I want to let all you guys know to BE CAREFUL! Back roads are a blast, but you need to respect speed and what it can do. I'm usually not one to harp on people about safety, but I now have good reason. I just lost a close friend of mine because he didn't respect speed while playing on back roads. He lost control, crashed, and he didn't make it... It's the first time I've ever lost a friend, and the pain will not soon go away.

Please guys, just be cautious and sensible.
oh i'm real careful tony and sorry to hear about your friend and chimera i hope your friend is doing better

Sorry to hear about friends--it's always tough to lose someone you've shared a lot of life with over the years. I know I've lost my share of buds, but only one to a wreck. I think it's the sudden loss that's the hardest to take.

The thing about accidents is that they are just that--the unsuspected or unpredictable. That's why preparation is so important: of your machine, your health, and your skills. When I was in the military we used to say, "the more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in the field." I've always taken this to heart.

Hello, yes! Biked some of these roads (12 speeds, no motor but me), finding new ones.
Best place on the planet to live if you can hibernate from Nov. to Mar. (We do).

Google Earth'ed Rt. 129 from Knoxville, looks awesome from orbit. Looks to be a bike
resort near the end of it. Now how to get there and tell my wife we need to go that way
to see her cousins in Georgia?
