    Rode about 10 hours today, needed another 3 or so to the house. Called home was raining and foggy, decided not to go up the mountain in rain, fog, and dark. Got a mom & pop motel on S C. Few hours in tomorrow. Had a blast, left all the sunshine for you guys! :D

    More pix, the dog on bike was said to have logged over 100,000 miles with owner, I was skeptical, lot of riding. One picture was a lap dance, just barely got phone out. One is main street and the other is my bike at Destination Daytona.

    As I look at these, seems evident that daytime pix are clear and those at night are blurry. So, either my phone only takes clear pix in daylight or my picture taking is directly related to the number of red neck Budweisers I have consumed. Don't know which it is. Will have to try this so more!!

    Actually was very comfortable. Was a back rest, kept me from slumping and I was not tired when I got off. Also, was quite windy, kept me steady since I don't have a windshield. Really kind of missed it when I got there and was riding around without it. Only time I really noticed it was coming to a stop when I came into a small town or something, definitely changed the balance, but not a problem riding. No areas of real twisties, only a few medium sharp curves, don't know if I would have felt it there.

    Thanks for the pics, MC. Hey, I don't see why a camera wouldn't take clear pictures ALL the time. Must have been the Buds!
