Thursday

Today we rode the Dragon 4 times, two round trips. On the first trip we got stuck behind a semi that should not have been on the road, He had to stop and backup, took both lanes on blind turns, and was just lucky not to hit someone.

As we exited the Dragon on the TN side we stopped at a porta poty. Dori's bike wouldn't crank and kip had to push start it. We rode into Tn a little ways to where Kip remembered a m/c repair shop from his last trip thru here. Got it fixed for $20. Only had to push one more time before Dori realized the kill switch was turned on (to the off position).

Kip ended the day very tired.

Had a great time talking to bikers from all over the country that evening.
