(FINAL PICS) R1 and I DONE with road trippin'
I decided against going to Deal's Gap/TN/NC/GA mountains. I'll do that in early November when leaves are turning but not yet on the roads. Instead I'll visit friends and relatives all over the southeast. I'll ride the roads I've always wanted to, especially out in the country in Mississippi where I spent summers growing up. I bet I'll have as almost as much fun on the bike as I had in grandaddy's truck back in the day on those rural roads. I'll also be going to Biloxi Beach Mississippi, then (after hurricane rains) over to GA, NC, and Myrtle beach and Charleston SC. I have a few friends I really want to see. I plan to avoid Tampa for two-three weeks 
This is how the bike spent the night ready to go:
Then Night 1 (upstate FL):
Trip starts with visiting a special friend tonight two hours north. While we were in the area of "The Villages", an elderly city in FL, I couldn't get over the golf carts with cherry wood and bling wheels (such as Mercedes and Rolls Royce carts). They also had some sporty golf carts-
Day 2 Made it to Mississippi. Yea its like coming home - at Biloxi Beach, going upstate tomorrow evening to see relatives :P people talk normal here and all the other states I'm visiting across the southeast (unlike half-yankee south Florida!!!)
Night 2-
Night 2 Although I will unload my bike when I get to the UPSTATE Mississippi roads, I did not come to the beach to ride it. Nor was my main reason for coming the casino's and Beach. I'll post up my real reason for being at Biloxi Beach when I get a pic, but for now its been a GREAT time!

Hey that is no Harley, Yamahas don't like riding in the back of a truck. You need a C14.
Oh yeah, have fun!
I gotta ask, WTF was Toyota thinking when they put TRD on the side of their trucks. I can't help but laugh because it is what you would put on a license plate for turd. Was it a Japanese person who came up with that or some American laughing his ass off?

DAY 3 - Like Palin's son, mine has enlisted in the service too. Thats why I stopped at Biloxi beach before heading upstate to relatives, also why I didn't get the bike off the truck. We spent a lot of quality of time together.
DAY 4 road upstate to Aunt Glenda's
Endless southern rural roads
red Mississippi Mud
Off roading on family property
Leaving family property to bust more twisties
Old confederate dude guarding my bike
The town theatre
Town general store
stay tuned, I'm in South Carolina now. 1600 miles so far!

The #1 thread jacker accusing others of jacking. Now that is funny. He even jacked his own thread with his obsession with the republican parties #1 lipstick wearer.

Hey all my threads are open for jacking, by you or me, did you not see the bottom of my statement you quoted says:
***jack away bishes***
And the good folks of mississippi say VOTE PALIN!
I suspect here in SC they will too, and Cali even more-so!

HDL, we'll try to do that next year, that'd be awesome!
As far as Charleston, I have lived there, also Myrtle Beach, Columia, Greenville SC, etc
Oh and SHAW AIR FORCE BASE (Sumter, SC while in the Air Force)
I would've left the truck home but man I'm over 2,000 m iles on this trip already and truck is 5-star compared to a litre bike
