After being out late Friday and Saturday nights Jector(from GSB) and I decided to hit the road early Sunday morning and visit Deals Gap and the Cherohola Skyway. It was my first time for both.
Warming up the carbs at 6:05am, I do love those Sylvanias.
Met up with Jector just north of Cornelia and fueled up the Kat and the 675 (the first of several)
We then headed over the Awful Waffle for a couple handwarmers and some Bacon, egg and cheese sammiches (not pictured).
After Breakfast, we headed up 441 and caught 28 up to 74. Fun road and we had it all to ourselves. We stopped to admire the view.
Oh yeah, the view...
We then proceeded to the Dragon and had an excellent run up, no over-takers and only had to pass one cruiser and one truck towing a boat.
Here is Jector at the turnaround. I think he just received a Smiley, he loves Smileys.
Then it was back down the Dragon. Not so lucky the second time. We got behind a truck with a couch in the bed. We decided we could take him, but he was being held up by a pack of cruisers and we decided a 6 vehicle pass would be a bit much. So, we pulled over and gave them some time.
At the bottom, it was time for the obligatory pic. (Along with the obligatory T-shirt, keychain, sticker and bottle of Gatorade.
A close up of the camera mount.
A close up of the Kat's tail.
Then it was off to the Skyway where they have this perfect place to get a pic of your bike.
Jector in contemplation.
Cheesy grin award goes to...
We proceeded along the Sky way for a little while. After passing our friend LEO who was having quite the conversation with a small group of motorcyclists, we happened upon an accident. (no pictures) Everyone was alright apart from cuts and scrapes (very lucky since you buried her cruiser under the guard rail.
LEO showed up to make sure everyone was alright. He said they weren't really looking for the 55 crowd but mostly the 90+ crowd to which someone replied "It's those damn sport bike riders." At this Point Jector and I decided we should leave and headed back down the Skyway to Robinsville for a well earned lunch.
All in all it was a good day. Well over 11 hours and several hundred miles in the saddle and lots of fun. Over the course of the day I saw 13 seperate LEO's and only one accident.
