I hit the road yesterday with my now labeled, Blanche DuBois. Meandering up through the DeSoto Forest in Mississippi, my zumo had me going in circles. When it acts up, it is remarkably annoying. I seem to be able to easily confuse it.
I wound up south of Birmingham, Al in a berg known as Calera. Staying at a half dingy, half clean "Quality" Inn in an area that had more than its share of flashing blue lights and sirens last night. Non smoking, senior rate, please.
Blanche performed flawlessly, How I like to write that! My fuel strip is still working and I am testing out a new set of Pirelli Angel GTs. I like them so far. I like them more than my prev sets of PR3s and PR2s, and maybe as much as my recent set of Pirelli Scorpion Trails. The only glitch was Mother Nature related. I was kamikazied by swarms of love-bugs. They stick real good and they stink, kind of a sickly sweet smell. Whenever I stopped other L-Bs visited their dead. BTW, the 19" Cee Baileys protected my visor pretty well, with lots more carcasses on the top of my helmet and the visor itself much cleaner.
Going to go through NE Alabama today, around Taledega and then wind through NW Ga and ultimately landing in Robbinsville, NC for the next 4 nights--and all that that promises.
Woo Hoo
