Eliminated the lights, turn signal, license plate pod... new LED sequential tail light.

Mod #1 isn't as nice. Hopefully he had his proper gear on and looks better than the bike. I was wondering about what looks like boot marks on the rear sub-frame bodywork. I think that's why the call it learning to ride. Hopefully he learned something. I know I've learned lessons that looked like that. |

Well he made it up the mountain this time, and another 80 miles beyond. Currently sitting at a BBQ joint in Murphy NC... We will feast and then go ride back over the mountain in the opposite direction. |

Dang! I just got back in from a short ride on the Triumph down 129 to the Calderwood Dam overlook, then back home on the Foothills Parkway... I'd planned to do the Cherohala/Dragon loop, but the weather is about to turn crappy... Pwn, glad to hear you're doing a ride with your kid today, wish I could've caught up witcha. |

We've arrived back home, without incident. Here's where we went.

Squids, we need to hook up one of these days... somewhere up in them hills. We could have continued on to the Dragon today, but I thought Blood Mountain was enough for his second time out in the twisty stuff. Especially considering he laid it down 2 weeks ago. He did really well today, good lines, going at his own pace. |

A brief respite, having conquered Blood Mountain.

Been admiring the looks of that mini-Kaw already- a Corbin or such would be pretty schweet. I'd definitely add axle/frame sliders ASAP, as to prevent more loss of prettiness. |
