Meeting a friend in Lake City Florida. Going to ride to Natchez MS. Up Natchez Trace Hywy visit my son an his wife in Nashville.
And come back through Birmingham so we can stop at Barber Motorsports Museum before heading back to Lake City.
 
Just 1500-1600 miles and about a week.
 
Bike is ready to go. :cool: 8142b03b7d1fc17f75e91be7b10ba77d.jpg

The anticipated route. More or less. We're pretty free form on the road.26a4e959397836cc69f2b3b0a19c92e1.jpg

Been beautiful all day. Not a cloud in the sky. I'm sure we're gonna pay for that eventually. :D A little warm at the end. fc5f5c5d27ca619525b4c2e8a57d19e9.jpg

Nice, I like their fuel prices as well. I'm heading up to the smokies next week, the only good thing about areas with no jobs is nobody is driving to work.

Making progress down Highway 84. Nice road. Not challenging just pleasant. Wooded and meandering in spots 225868ad0ffd683ec5c50ac7a20734aa.jpg9d2da3c99ad9e55c1f211f5a48ddfce4.jpg

In Natchez MS. Screen shot of the route. Just Highway 84 west. It was 2 lane and wooded in Alabama. Became 4 lane and wide open in Mississippi. Not a bad road. Smooth and just a little construction. Just not as enjoyable as a nice meandering 2 lane... :)0995f64a2e96e608ba1890caf105999a.jpg

The picture of me and FJ at Battle of Raymond. And the pictures of the empty road is right in front of that. It was really that empty.
We were there at least 10 minutes before a car came by.
 
If you're in Clinton Mississippi the Froghead Grill has some good wraps.
And in Fort Lauderdale try the Grilled oysters. They are delicious.
Ross Barnett reservoir is 50 square miles and is just north of Jackson Mississippi.
 
And according to the ecm I'm getting 57+ mpg ride the Natchez trace. ...

Ok. A detour to Memphis. :cool: I was bitching about the fact that we would be nowhere near downtown when he said he would spring for the Double Tree downtown. For 2 nights! Supposed to be rainy and nasty tomorrow. So we'll wait it out..
 
Stayed in Starkville. Home of the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
 
The rode up to Tupelo and got on 26 for about 15 miles before deciding we needed nothing to do with that shit show. :P
So plan B was Highway 178 into Memphis. Not a great road lots of small towns. And neither of us were filling too great. Buffalo Wild wings strikes again.
:( So we took 6+ hours to get here.
 
So no riding tomorrow. Gonna wander around see the sights....
