Polecat

This photo was taken in the parking lot of the Days Inn at exit 108 Knoxville. We had just come from the gl1800riders breakfast sponsored by Honda Directline, Electrical Connections, Bushtec, and probably someone else I forgot. The breakfast was a big success. Many prizes were awarded by the sponsors. Personally I thought Polecat deserved a best dressed award.
There were an estimated 300 attendees at the breakfast. That number whittled down to about 15 riders who wanted to explore the infamous Route 116. While many, including myself, climbed into protective leathers and road-proof armored mesh jackets, Polecat swathed himself the only way he knows how - casual chic. The possibility of an unplanned getoff doesn't intimidate the Polecat. Once in the twisties he never let up and with tennis shoes smoking, pulled into Lake City right on my tail.
I met the famous Polecat at CatsCade earlier this year and rode with him from Dayton to Knoxville last Friday. I learned quickly he doesn't take anything too seriously and his casual approach makes him a great riding partner and the ultimate "easy rider."
