Nice pics and a blast no doubt. :fing02:

Actually, I was and am here in Blue Ridge, Ga. with the family chilling out in a dry cabin and a half (read rented mansion on the lake). I don't mind hanging out with those damned crazy crotch rocket riders I know on VFRD, it's that nasty yellow tricycle that kept me away this year. Damn things are dangerous with dubious people that typically pedal them...... :laugh:

Really sorry i missed it fellas, was bummed all weekend.. I was really looking forward to making it. Sadly, there was a last minute parts order that didn't roll in till this morning (Mon). After I got the brakes up and going I legalized her and took her out for a short shakedown run, that consisted of running out of gas and getting pulled over, had to break it in right! Only had to push about 100ft uphill... Its ok though, on the pullover I didn't get a ticket!

You have my word, though, I will make it next year, come hell or high water. And then my bike will actually be nice to look at instead of the pile of zip-ties, safety wire, tape and epoxy that it is now.

.....Get You a New Motorcycle, and I'll stay Home next year so You can attend and have some FUN..... :laughing6-hehe:

I'd have been there anyway if the schedule wasn't so conflicted. I guess I can put up with a trike if I just look at two of the wheels... :laughing6-hehe:

I'll refrain from making any derogatory comments about Seb's butt engulfing that seat, or Andy spending 45mins scrubbing it later , cause this is a family-friendly board and all and that just wouldn't be right.. :laughing6-hehe:

OMG....THAT IS SOME AWESOME VIDEO!! Dam, you sure know how to ride.

Any chance of uploading a version without the music? Would love to hear the bike working.

What speed & gears were you using?

That was nice to hear, not factual, but nice. The audio was kinda bad and annoying, so I masked it with timmy music. I have no idea what gear I was in and when you are trying like hell to watch Seb's constantly shrinking tail light, I never looked at the dash.

if I may......some "holy gasoline"

A BIG thank you to all the organizers, ride leaders and all members for making this a terrific, memorable event. This was my second TMAC. I had a wonderful time. I got to meet and talk with about 75% of people. Great group of people. Thanks again, I will definitely be back next year again. :fing02:

I've seen that done a lot on goldwings. One of my coworkers has a car tire on is 2004 wing. But we're in Nebraska. our roads don't curve much so you can get away with that. I'm sure the tread life it great.
