Well, here's a little fun fact for you... the restaurant on Rt 30 at the top of the mtn between McConnellsburg and Chambersburg that sits on the outside of that wild hairpin turn - well, the waitresses in there wear those little bitty short shorts, leather chaps, and boostiers. Apparently, it's like hog heaven where the Pagans like to hang out.

And you withheld this information from us??? Some friend you've turned out to be!!

Just found out 15 minutes ago. Sorry, man - If I knew, we'd have stopped.

C'mon Eric. Didn't you notice the pattern. Didn't get the cute waitress at Perkins, Dennys, or the bar. What made you think we'd get lucky?

Luck had nothing to do with it! I CHOSE not to pursue each of the aforementioned waitresses--there's something about women who are built like line-backers which just doesn't sit right with me. The sad fact is that this other waitress wearing the daisy dukes and leather chaps is probably built like I am as well!

This is second hand, but, my understanding is that the young ladies there aren't bad at all. Sure, they're not Dutch models, but hell, where ya' gonna find one of those??? :goofy:

Adding in a couple more pics I pulled out of the video.

Just tons of turns like this. That's Timmy ahead of me. Burns is ahead of him.

Timmy goes for an overtake...

I grabbed as many pics from this forum and my own and threw them on my flickr page. They're just about full res. Many of the twisty shots off the camera came out too blurry to be used for much.

Looks like a good time gents. 326 heading north is a good road. YoshiHNS, was this tree-lined picture taken on 144 ?

My favorite too. Just wish I had the camera tilted up a tad bit more.

144 is a great road, a little funny pavement in place, but if you ride the length of it it is an experience. I remembered that section that was lined with trees, really cool.

Thanks for the link Timmy,as you would say I'm a round crayon amongst you sharp ones.

Dam I'm sorry I missed this one. Thumbs up to everybody for pulling this one off. Yosh and Eric that was a long weekend yes?

Jim hows it feel to be on something worth riding?

Timmy ...looks like the Peril could use a fresh coat of paint.

Burns ....well it's just probably a good thing you went along.

tsk tsk, Steve... The Tuna was/is a fine ride... even salvaged, modded to the N-th degree and in need of a new set of tires (or at the very least, the correct tire pressure). I see it out and about every so often. And, the new owner actually called me up to just say "thanks."

That said... Love my 5th Gen, even more with the 2Bro's exhaust on it. Need to dump the stock seat for a Sargent; maybe look at some risers to change the position just a little; but, she's a much more substantial bike that the Kat. For as much as the Kat did a lot of stuff well, the VFR does a lot of stuff better. =)

Luckily, you weren't leading this expedition, so I didn't have to ride like my ass was on fire. Was a great day to get used to a great new bike and ride with some exceptional people (you judge whether I meant that in a good way, or that they just fell off the short bus).
