3400 mile trip from Houston up to the Ozarks, then across Tennessee to the Tail of the Dragon and back to the Barber Museum (AWESOME) and home via the Natchez Trace.

The Barber Museum, just Northeast of Birmingham, is simply AWESOME. An incredible facility and a magnificent collection of bikes of every make and era(and Lola racecars)

Home via the Natchez Trace ... a GREAT piece of road, smooth as glass and NO traffic.

Great report...thanks!

Just curious... I saw your map and it looks like you also rode up around Hot Springs on NC209. Is this where the pic above was taken?

What an ugly motorcycle and why would you want to ride where the roads are so crooked. I guess you had nothing better to do with your time
