Are there any between Marietta and the NC border?

He had a couple hour window for a ride and wanted to know if I was up to it. Pfft are you kidding?. ..cleaning chandeliers or riding? Meet you down at the UDF in 30 minutes my man.

Since he had limited time I suggested the route thru the rebuilt wooden bridge over to the lake and then take the long way home on some nice curvy back roads I know... very few straights, not much traffic and lots of curves (incl one fairly technical road I'm not too fond of, that he had never ridden).

We were riding old school, the CB1100 and ZRX, both had Inline 4 motors, dual rear shocks and round gauges. Great bikes for these roads.

Here's some pics from todays ride.

A hard left/right hander on the technical road. You can see I'm already heading right while right behind me Steve is mid turn left. Steve liked the road a lot. (too much braking and shifting for me on this road)

After getting back to the cut off point where he went one way and I went another, I glanced down at my gauges and realized I had just been on the devils ride with Salesman Steve.

and I'd no doubt be staring the horned one in the face, if I didn't get home and get those fans and chandeliers done.
