This was an open "Forum" run, any and all are welcome, mostly Sporties but we had a Nighttrain, V-rod, and a Honda. All it requires is two, (or three) wheels and a motor and some gumption! Oh, and you really need to stay up on two, stay away from Bud and Perry.

Thanks for the maps xllent01, and have you ever left the Devils Triangle at the river x-ing (Stainsville?) and went up the river about 3 mi to Shea and went right on a road (Norma Rd. I think) and up thru Welch Camp & PeeWee and across the mountain and down into Caryville on Mountain Rd. (I think)...???
That's a different ride... ...
Have a good one...Tater...

I think you would know if you had... Go to google maps and to Caryville Tn. then go out of Caryville Westward on Mountain Rd., it will turn into Tower Rd., then Norma Rd. and come into Shea where if you go left you will come out on the Devils Triangle Hwy. 116 right at the river crossing... I've just got to get back up there in E. Tn., W. NC. & E. Ky. and ride some more this coming Spring and Summer, would like to spend a couple of weeks, at my age you just don't know when the last good ridin season will be...lol...
Have a good one...Tater... |
