    LAB3 on the Move Again?

    My brother-in-law Nick Kammer is a fellow XS/XJ lover.

    Today he saw something interestinng on north bound I75, so he texted me a couple of pictures:

    So I replied to Nick, "Hey, I think I know who that is !!"

    Am I right LAB3?

    They live in the Dayton area, but they frequently travel to their lake house in Tennesee, so I am not exacltly sure where the pictures were taken.

      Yep, that's me! Made it from Tellico Plains, TN to Greenfield, IN yesterday where I'll be staying put for awhile. It got damn cold once I hit Cincinnati and if it weren't for the fact that I promised a "Brother" I'd be here to help out with a few things there's little doubt I'd have stayed south awhile longer.

        So freaking cool! Where did you get that trailer setup or did you build it?

          The trailer was something I picked up to pull behind my previous bike, an 82 Goldwing. It was made by a small trailer manufacturer in SW Missouri, their name escapes me but it was local to the region I was staying in and easy to find for a reasonable price.

            Here I am on The Tail of the Dragon right about this time last year. Stayed at Smitty's Lodge to mount a set of Bridgestones, they already have a work area with a bench, vise, basic tire machine, lift and compressor for guests to use. Left the bags and trunk off for about a week and went out to play when this was taken.

              Evefybody should have at least one Dragon picture- you have a nice one.

              For the record, Nick says they took the above picture in mid-Kentucky.

                I'm pretty sure everyone gets several pictures taken every time they run The Dragon, there where photographers all up and down the run. That picture was taken by one of them, all I had to do was remember the time I went through and look at the pics on the different photographers websites. The photographers want to sell you a farmable full sized color picture, the one I posted has a watermark on it as you can see.

                Mid Kentucky sounds about right, there was light rain up until just shy of the Tennessee/Kentucky border and I put a Gotetex parka on over my jacket when I hit Cincinnati.
