When I went through those bad rainstorms I forgot to turn up my chain oil flow and of course my chain suffered.
I stopped in Kingsport, TN at this motorcycle store to get some lube. The guys there went above and beyond! I really appreciated their help (and my chain is doing much better).
Some cool art along the road
I had taken a stumble a few days earlier, and when I go to Tenn I visited this Dr (second picture)
Dr Phil is a great Dr, but also very fun to talk with, and his Mustang....well....very very nice!
If that engine looks like a tight fit, that is because Dr Phil some how got a 427 shoe horned into the 'Stang"
The whole reason I went to Chattanooga is becuase I have Dear Friends that live nearby. Sean, Kris and Nora
As soon as I arrived I was being pampered by both Kris and Nora (Sean was not home yet, besides Kris and Nora's pampering are a few steps above Seans.....)
So after a few nights it was time to go, I had been babied enough that I didn't know if I could survive on my own.... :)
Then,
My last night in Chattanooga the three of us hang out at this place...a super fun place with exceptional people.
Then I'm off on the road again. I'm heading to the last stamp on this trip, Gateway Arch Natioinal Park
located in St Louis
I had thought getting to this park would be a challenge. And it was...but not as bad as I thought it would be. I just about passed it but Beverly talked some sense to me and, well..there it is!
I have one more stop on this trip, actually a "re-stop" I'll be stopping at Jacobs place.
And No, I did not ride the tram in the arch.
So I do make it to Jacob's place and unfortuantaly by then my back pain was getting worse.
Add to that that a severe storm was a-coming my way.
The forecast called for 58 MPH winds on my route going home, and said the possibility of Tornados was stressed over and over.
So all things considered Beverly convincec me to fly home and go back for the bike in a couple weeks..
And that's it. I'm home
We touched 22 states, I don't know my miles, I forgot to zero everything out.
Thanks for reading and stopping in.
