Man, what a great time we had in Kentucky

After arriving there Friday night about 8:30, Ken and Cheri had cold Modelo's waiting on us, along with some BBQ pork chops...mmmmmmmm good! We stayed up 'til about 1:30AM, chillin' out and listening to some good music. Saturday, we slept in a bit, then Ken called Ed and invited him to go on a ride with us...the girls stayed home 'cause it was a little chilly for them. Ken took us through some beautiful country, and we ended up dropping by a place on Reelfoot Lake where Jerry and his lovely bride were having lunch with their Memphis HOG chapter. We left there and rode out in BFE to a place called Walnut Log on the lake...we were in the WOODS!! I kept my ear out for Banjo music, just in case. We left there and rode over to Union City to visit Abernathy's HD...really nice dealership, and we ran into Jerry and J Carolyn again there. After leaving there, we gassed up, then stopped in at a local tavern and had the biggest hamburger I've eaten in a LONG time, washed down with a couple of cold beers. Some guy in the place (a regular, from the looks of him) bought us all a round. The 25 mile ride back to Clinton was a blast, and my last ride on the V. We saw triple digits several times during the day, and had some real fun riding.
After we got back to Ken's house, the drinking and pool playing began, then Ken pulled out the Makers and a bottle of Tequila and we started doing shots, along with the beer....grown men ought to know better, 'cause Ken and I both woke up with a bad head. It took a couple of hours for us to get out minds working again, then we went over all the papers and take off parts for the V. Sadly, Diva and I had to head back home about 1:00 and got here about 6:30.
I can't begin to express how great Ken and Cheri are...we enjoyed our visit immensely and can't wait to see them again soon!! They are truly salt of the earth people, and sure know how to make a person feel right at home...I hope we can return the favor one of these days. I was sorry to leave the V there, but I know it's in good hands and will be well cared for and appreciated.
