Nicole, it was great to meet you. I do not speak French. Care to translate the above into English?

BTW: Loved your puppies. And your big dog.

Nice one bjjb. More my speed. I only wish it "could go on forever". And I liked the riding sounds. All that was missing was the whine of gear-driven cams. :tongue:

Hello all, I wasn't at the rally but I was in the area and saw many of you tearing up the roadways. Lots of you waved at me on my old '86 RWB 700F. I was at Kickstand Lodge, with the Nighthawk riders.

There was a terrible accident on the Cherohala on Saturday the 19th and I'm looking for follow-up information. A formation of Harleys target-fixated on a guardrail and there was a three-bike pile-up. I was right behind them. I rolled through bodies and bikes still sliding across the road, barely missing someone's arm while a car was in the oncoming lane. Then I rode that old VFR as fast as I have ever ridden all the way down the skyway, looking for cell phone service.

A while after I saw the ambulances go by from Tellico, I rode back to the site but the remaining riders there didn't have much info, nor were they in any shape to answer a lot of questions.

I'm trying to find out if the person who got air-lifted out survived. She wasn't wearing a DOT helmet and to the best of my knowledge, her skull took quite a beating. I saw it, I was right on the tail of the formation waiting to pass. We could throw stones, but I'd rather offer my prayers to her or her family, if I could just find out who they are.

Anybody know what happened, or know how to find out?

Thanks....

I rolled through the aftermath but didn't stop because there were already too many people there. I did see one person sitting up against the guardrail. I agree with you, prayers rather than stones.

I started home Sun. via the Cherohala Skyway and saw LEOs and an ambulance heading the other way. Too much of this stuff going on.

Makes me appreciate the fact that none of us needed emergency services.

Obviously the thirst issue was quickly resolved, then on to pleasant conversation. As much as I love to ride, hanging out with friends that I haven't seen nearly as often as I should throughout the year is always the highlight of my TMAC.

Everybody chowing down on ribs, bar-b-que, cole slow, potatoe salad, baked beans and desert. And beer of course...

Looking at Baileyrock's expression, I don't want to know what he's thinking. Some things are better left unknown...
