Welp, Thurs evening and arrived in Birmingham as planned. We made one last pass at the Dragon this morning before we left Robbinsville via the Skyway over to Tellico. We made our way out to I-75s and then to I-59.

Yesterday we ran around the area some. A dash to Wheelers for Malbo's magic new front tire. It goes right thru gravel in the corner and cut his Dragon time by 15%.

South on 28 to Fontanna Dam then continue south and over to Wylan Creek Rd, AKA "Gravel in every right hander"

A great day at Barber Motorsports Park. Watched some race action and a walk thru the museum. A few new bikes on display this year. Tomorrow Malbo and I split up the odd couple and head our seperate ways.
A few pics from the day.

Just about 8 hours to the minute with two fuel up stops, one with lunch for me, and 499 miles later I'm home. Traffic was running fast and only had one short delay in Nashville. Only glitch was my speedo needle was getting nervous the last 150 miles or so.

Hope Malbo covers his 1200 miles home as easy as I did.

OK, so oil change and "Late Fall" ride to KEY WEST! Who's in?

At Sprocks request...a few more pics. Think Malbo should have a few to share as well!

Some action in the pits, bikes around the track and back at the museum.

There was a guy at our hotel in Robbinsville that brought a Colin Edwards Replica Aprilia Mille-R like the one in the museum, to ride around the area. Only 461 made and only 50 in the USA.
Always thought the CXT's were cool.
A V8 Italian and then the one with two large jugs.
