Almost could pop a wheelie in fifth gear! Well, not quite.
Surprisingly, with all the bulky rally stuff on board, the bike did just fine on the road. Averaged in the low 40's for mileage.
Had the parachute and my sleeping bag in the green bag. Made for a great back rest I might say.
In the distance is the sleepy little town of Big Cedar, Ok. The road leading off into the distance links directly to the Talimena Scenic Drive, about 5 miles away.
