So he knew you were a repeat offender, and still gave you a warning? Surprising.

Obviously, a LEO's definition of "reckless" differs from ours. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up with you long enough to see for myself.

He didn't "know", and I was about to ask him, "Are you sure, sir? There are a lot of convertibles up here this weekend, did it have blue painters tape on the hood with "Harley move over" written on it?" But thankfully I just kept my trap shut, signed the warning (with a smile on my face) and drove off. Two corners later, I was back in my pace

If we had been three minutes earlier, Cades Cove would have been empty... and then we wouldn't have met Mr. Montana...

Peee S no one told me there were bathrooms at the pull off... I blame the tour guides... get me back in the white van...

Show me some fields...

Brett following Florian on the dragon about 1.5 miles before the lookout after we passed a Blount County LEO doing about 60 mph. Ho f@#k, I'm going 10/10ths now as we put the sauce on it.
