I just returned from a 2 week trip on my VTX from San Antonio, Texas to Tullahoma, Tennessee to visit family and old friends.
On I-10 (8 lanes) headed east just west of Houston, I was almost taken out by a TV Set. I was in the lane next to the slow lane and notice a box laying in the right side of the fast lane. A car hits the box and it is apparent the box was actually a large TV Set. The TV spun wildly and slid across 3 lanes of interstate and crashed into the right retaining wall. I rode through the debris, missing the TV by 10 feet. At 70 mph, that was a close call.

I rode with a stock seat and experience a sore butt. Next time......

I also took a trip to Deal's Gap and rode the Dragon on 6 July. I was riding down the mountain and 100 yards ahead at one point, a black bear cub run across the road to join another cub and the mother. I stopped and took photos.

Overall a great trip.

Here is a photoshow of the trip to Deal's Gap:

Nice to see someone get out on the VTX with a stock seat and make a long ride. I am heading to Columbia SC in sept on mine.. that is if all my plans hold.. Going solo so dont have to worry about the wife slowing me down any. I asked if she wanted to go and got laughed at.. LOL

San Marcos to Columbia SC  1169 miles  but cant wait to ride !!!!!!!!!!

Tips about what exactly?

"'Tips about what exactly?"


good places to eat like the apple orchard place near dollywood on the right going south, esp places with athentic tenn food, and im hoping that means homemade biscuts from scratch , and points of intrest that normal tourists dont know about,etc..
