I tell ya, it was a good thing that I decided to take Bill's advice and ride to Memphis rather then run...   

  MAN IT WAS HOT!!   

Put a little under 1K miles on the bike and only come close to diein' twice.  Once in a construction area somewhere in Arkansas, and the other on the way back to Jawja.  Got jumped by a 2+ ft. road 'gator that tried to break my foot then wrapped itself between the front tire and frame and attacked my Gremlin Bells.  I got to the side of the road and beat him into submission though.   

I tell ya Bill, we took 78 through north Alabama.  That sure is pretty country up there.  Real nice ride.
