Hey MetalHead, I'm sure you have some nice roads there somewhere, and I think it's hard to see the beauty of a place if it's in your face all of the time. I try to get away from any commercial developement and truck traffic. Have you ever seen this? http://www.motorcycleroads.us/il.html .The Michigan listings have led me to a couple of new rides.I also found this book and it's on my Christmas list http://www.arbutuspress.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?cart_id=1123123407.25708&product=Books&pid=27

I think September, October, and so far November, are the best here.

"Leaf Season" finally hit here in the mountains. Screw the Blue Ridge Parkway- I went 63 to 209 up to Hot Springs and back down 251 along the river.  My 400 is waiting for work and a new tank, but I took my other Honda. Very nice rhythm you get into on these kinds of curves.  I actually thought of you guys and thought maybe I should take some pictures- but I would have had to stop.  Use your imaginations or buy a postcard!  YEEEEE- HAAWWW
I'm getting home-made cornbeef hash with 2 over easy with some guys tomorrow morning at Poppy's Kitchen (They have hand lettered signs all ove the place. My favorite; "Please don't lick your plate. We'll  give you more!") and doing it again Sunday. Hey- I've waited this long on a new water heater. It's not going anywhere...

Now that's a good question!  They put so much on the plate I don't think anybody ever sees the bottom except the guy who washes dishes.  Well, come to think of it, I've never actually seen anyone washing dishes...

                                                     Now I'm sorry I started this
