There's my old bike! I bet it wasn't has happy at TMAC this year without me on it.

She's in great shape! MidLifeVFR did quite well, he was grinning ear to ear!

Hey Travis........the bike was content and I was happy........that works for me!

It had all of its fluids changed, a new air filter and a fresh inspection sticker

just a few days before TMac..........she's settled into NY very nicely. THANKS!!

Currently filling out PTO form for next year...

If I could just get to Franklin, everything would be OK....

Looks like a blast, especially compared to being at work 12 days straight.

Timmy - where did you get the Awry sticker made? Same as Seb's Nohlins?

Do you guys know the website names where we can check out our Gap pictures? I know the www.killboy.com and http://www.129slayer.com However, I did see two or more photographer on Friday.

Here's some other usuals that are taking pictures at The Gap:

http://www.moonshinephoto.com/

http://zeefoto.com/

-Chuck

Correction...

Zeefoto Nolonger shooots up there, Her Phootog employees are now 129slayer.com

the other 2 photog companies are.

Killboy.com (already posted)

And Us129photos.com

Al w/ Moonshinephotos does shoot up there but not daily so its good to check.

P.S.

Killboy and Us129photos list the VFR in the sportbike section.

For some Odd reason 129slayer puts the VFR in Sport Touring...

Hey, gang. Saw your crazy asses all over the area. Got to chat with a few of you at a smoke break at the end of Warwoman road on Thursday or Friday. (It's a blur) You guys were a force! Sounds like you had a great event. I even came back contemplating trading my Blackbird for a 5th gen. It's far from the best tool for the Smokies.

Charcoal isn't 01, bud. 2001 is the only year it comes exclusively in candy glory red or some shit like that.

Actually just about every VFR was the same color Red(R157) from at least 94 to 04 with the exception of the Pearl Yellow 00 and the Silver 03. The 05 was the first year of Whinning Red. :biggrin:

So how about that Tmac! :cheerleader:

I have about 318 pictures of me with my knee down at the gap. I decided to purchase a few where it wasnt this year. I think these are really nice. My photos look exactly the same every year.

A couple of photos I purchased from thursday morning.

Strangely enough, you are correct. There were no VFR-related hospital visits during the official TMAC weekend. :cheerleader:

Who had the "HI" in tape on their 6th gen? You made KIllboy highlights.

Two vfrs made KB highlights: Timmy got on the page, but he cheated... ;)

I made the highlight reel. Cool! The HI is courtesy of member Chickenofsea, who could not make it down.

And I thought this was my best pic from the photographers:

And yes, I know my head is on the wrong side, it was the trip down, I was still learning. :)

Best Dialogue overheard by me:

TIMMY: "Hey Jeremy, take my bike and tell me what you think."

JEREMY: "I aint getting on that fookin deathtrap."

.......a little later.......................

TIMMY: "Good thing you didnt take my bike, I forgot that my pistol is in the saddlebag."

JEREMY: "I got a permit."

Sure your head isn't quit in the right position but the important part was that you were looking through the turn properly. :fing02:

Nice shot Ryan!

Brake lights mean you didn't downshift to second or third in the twisties. Engine braking

is a marvelous discovery!!!!!!

Did the entire dragon in second gear. Those are just running lights.

Let's not turn this into a thread critiquing my form, though.

If we did, I'd never want to post this:

Next year I think I'll bring my OEM pegs, the Buell pegs are an inch lower and I was able to grind the peg feeler off, and part of the side of the peg as well.

A few from my phone.

Does anyone know who was taking pictures from under the blue tent on the Skyway last Saturday, May 21st? Or where to find them, if they're posted.
