LOL, last stop is in Alcoa!

One piece of advice, if you are stuck behind Harley riders, don't try to get them out of your way. They won't pull over, and sometimes they will try to go faster even when they can't. Safest thing for both of you is to just back off or pull over and wait for a clear stretch of road.

Same thing goes for when you get behind Airgate...

Just pull over for 2-3 hours so he can get a few miles ahead of you!!!!
