Denny & Lori’s Blog

I hate it when this happens… you get out the Hog, start her up, and she sounds like she has the flu! That means no riding for us!

When we rode two weekends ago, the bike sounded horrible, and we found that the primary cover and rocker cover were leaking. So, we had to take the bike in to Mountain Creek Harley today (Denny riding in the pouring rain to Dalton to get there) for a massive tune up.

Since we were taking it in for that, Denny decided he also wanted to have the radio checked because it has been very ’scratchy sounding’ and have the fuel gauge repaired, as it has been quirky and does not show us how much gas we have.

Luckily, we have the Harley-Davidson Extended Service Plan Fender-to-Fender protection for a while longer, so it won’t break the bank to get things done.

I can’t wait to get her back good as new - it is Spring! Time to ride!

Denny and I, and both kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to camp! Every September we head off to Cherokee, NC to visit Yogi in the Smokies, and always have the best time.

Since we love camping so much, I decided to compile a list of campgrounds in the Greater Chattanooga area, and closely beyond, so that we can easily get to their websites, or get contact information without having to search all over the house.
