We met at the Prospector in Tellico Plains for breakfast.

Hey, this is a cool restaurant with a friendly staff, but I think that we might have overwhelmed them just a bit that morning. It turned out to be a pretty entertaining meal, especially since I wasn't one of the 'victims'.

Man, that's a meal! Maybe a meal for several people even... Lessee... hash browns, bacon, sausage, eggs, gravy and biscuits - it's a heart attack on a platter!

Check out the Air Hawk seat cushion on this Vee - that's supposed to be a really comfortable seat solution.

This one had the Corbin aftermarket seat. It looks great.

Lining up in Tellico Plains for the morning ride - this may be the biggest collection of Versys that I've seen so far. I got to thinking about the problem that comes along with having the only blue Vee in the pack - it makes me easy to identify in a speeding stop.

Riding the curves of the Cherohala, we climb up into the Nantahala Range out of Tellico Plains.

"Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba…"

That's John from Asheville on the red Vee behind me.
