Sh found us thanks to your stig post, so thanks for that. We wouldn't have met without your help. Towards the end of the great river road, we didn't get to see it much. I do miss the good views we have of it in MN. <br /><br />I don't know how you do it! I can barely keep up with my own blog/emails much less read other blogs. I'm feeling quite guilty that I don't have time to read your blog and others. I guess I'll just have to catch up after I get back.<br /><br /><b>Sharon:</b> Thank you! High praise coming from such a good photographer as yourself! There is always room for another bike and '01 SVs are cheap. I've seen them listed in Minneapolis for $2500. I'd think about an '03+ to get the fuel injection if I replaced this one. It would make a solid bike even more reliable. <br /><br />It has been nice meeting friends along the way. We still have one more to meet though. ;)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-59665065965374501662010-08-18T05:26:09.698-05:002010-08-18T05:26:09.698-05:00So many photos I enjoyed here and on flickr.

Your trip has also made me fall in love again--with my SV. I never should have turned over. <br /><br />I found it interesting that you got your '01 SV in 2009 with less than 7000 miles on it. My SV was aso a '01 with less than 7000 miles and it often made me wonder why the seller hadn't ridden the bike?! I guess I'm glad he didn't in my case, or he wouldn't have sold it to me. <br /><br />Your love of the bike shows through! Nice that you're meeting friends on the road.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-3646226280920228652010-08-17T22:36:04.550-05:002010-08-17T22:36:04.550-05:00That is really good that you met with Eve.

Your pictures make Alabama a state worthy of visiting one day. Take care on your continuing journey. Are you missing the Big River yet?Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-34855662117836309262010-08-17T08:40:35.581-05:002010-08-17T08:40:35.581-05:00Eve: You're welcome!

I think I slept 10 hours last night. Has to be a record.<br /><br /><b>Keith:</b> I'm with you. I enjoy riding in the rain too when I'm not getting wet. I'm not huge into sweets, but that tea was good. I think you'd like it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-49358930477827155362010-08-17T08:23:04.105-05:002010-08-17T08:23:04.105-05:00When the rain gear is working, I admit I like ridi...When the rain gear is working, I admit I like riding in the rain. I'm not at all sure why. The vicious winds with rain I could do without, but in the autumn when it's cool enough not to cook inside my gear, but not chilly enough to be cold, riding in a steady gentle rain...it is sweet.<br /><br />Not as sweet as sweet tea. Sweet isn't my taste...give me salt :-) That said, I've never had Eve's sweet tea. Perhaps it would open up a whole new universe to me.<br /><br />~KeithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-7112423488419549332010-08-17T05:35:48.558-05:002010-08-17T05:35:48.558-05:00Yeah!!

Glad you liked the sweet tea, my mom-in-law taught me well! I'm glad you got to see some of the most beautiful parts of Alabama "The Beautiful" there really is so much more to see here. I hope you have a wonderful time riding the mountains and get some well deserved rest in between! Enjoy and Ride Safe!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.com
