Dodging the Roadkill: Lane Splitting
Clarksville, TN – Lane splitting is a relatively new concept to me. Since I’ve only been riding for 18 months, it’s not something I’ve ever done, but the concept is picking up steam across the country.
Lane splitting is riding a motorcycle between lanes or rows of slow moving or stopped traffic that’s moving in the same direction. Sometimes called lane sharing, whitelining, filtering or stripe-riding, it allows bikers to save time and bypass traffic congestion. It may also be safer for the biker than being stopped in congested traffic.
Now, I’ve avoided some traffic by passing on the shoulder, but at the moment, I haven’t had the “balls” to drive between cars and trucks that are backed up on the interstate. It just never occurred to me to do that. I don’t feel safe doing that.

Dodging the Roadkill: Pop’s Travel Center
Lacon, AL – Along Interstate 65, between Huntsville and Birmingham Alabama, just off exit 318, sits a welcome site. Pop’s Travel Center. It’s the only business at this exit and it’s well worth the visit.
I discovered this place quite by accident.
While riding my Harley back home to Tennessee last year, I was getting “drowsy” and had a bit of an appetite, so the next exit, 318, I pulled off to take a break.
I was greeted by a Stuckeys and a family restaurant. Having grown up visiting Stuckeys when we traveled, it was a welcome site.
Pops Travel Center is owned by husband and wife, Mary and Jerry “Pops” Pierce.

Clarksville Racing Driver, Attorney Eric Yow Wins Again at Road Atlanta
Written by Stephanie Smothermon
Clarksville, TN – During the week, you may see local attorney Eric Yow in the courthouse downtown, but on the weekend he is probably racing for the win in his Corvette Z06.

Thus far, in 2017, he is undefeated and has his eyes set on a National Championship this October!
Yow just returned from a win at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, where he competed for the fastest lap time in Time Trials with the National Auto Sport Association. In a class loaded with several talented and more experienced drivers, Yow plowed ahead to set the fastest time for his class (TT2) and ultimately two wins, on Saturday and Sunday, June 17th and 18th.

American Heart Association says Kicking the Salt Shaker habit may not be enough
American Heart Association Rapid Access Journal Report
Dallas, TX – Restaurant foods and commercially processed foods sold in stores accounted for about 70 percent of dietary sodium intake in a study in three U.S. regions, according to new research in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation.
Sodium is an important contributor to high blood pressure, one of the leading causes of heart attack and stroke. The American Heart Association recommends a maximum of 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day, which is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of salt.
Salt added at home during food preparation or at the table accounted for a small fraction of dietary sodium. (Copyright American Heart Association)
