    I've got her all packed out and ready to leave first light in the
    morning. It might not have been the best idea to pack it up in the
    room...might have to do some remodel to this hotel room to get her
    back out.

    The tank bag that was almost too large for my Shadow's tank, and then
    extra large for the Hurricane is now just a dot on the tank of the
    Bird. I have room for about three more just like it!

    I'll be leaving out from Knoxville and down through Carolina into
    Atlanta. Judging from the roads I went through on 129, it should be an
    all day run through there. After that, I'll be on the slab from
    Atlanta to Montgomery and then to the cut-through between Montgomery
    to Mississippi. After that, it'll be a short jaunt through Mississippi
    on slab and into Louisiana. Once in Louisiana, it should be a clear
    shot to Bossier City where I cut from the Texas line and hit 80 into
    Terrell. If the computer's mapping program is accurate, and I don't
    get lost like I did yesterday, I should be in for about 1400 miles.
    It'll be a nice sprint to see how well this big beast tours cross
    country.

    I'm betting I fall out somewhere around Atlanta from exhaustion, if
    yesterday's curves were any indication.

    Bjay Up Here:
    I admire anyone that rides those kinda miles and do it ''Solo''.
    I've never been much on riding by myself.
    However I can understand the advantages, stopping when and where you
    wanna, eat where you wanna.
    Oh yeah, those fun curves can also be
    enduring.
    Especially as many as you are zipping through.
    Ride safe. RNGrin, Bjkoon.
