Author Message   New12r Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 01:05 pm:          U4euh Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 04:03 pm:        1100 miles of smiles, 3 bruised ribs, a ton of video footage, and an empty wallet to boot. Found an awesome road in TN. 321 South!!!! 90 degree day, so many trees that the sun was barely able to evaporate the water on the ground. 12:00 in the afternoon there was steam rising from the small pockets of light that made it through. Left Thursday night and headed straight to Asheville. The next day was Gatlinburg. That took us 11 hours to do, nothing but left right left the whole way. This was by far one of the best trips I have been on. Pictures and video to come. Brankin, call me!   M2nc Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 08:27 pm:        Jim N., STOP you killing me!!! Jim R., Bruised ribs???   Jlnance Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 07:47 am:        321 South!!!! I know that road. It goes from around Johnson City, TN to Boone. Was that the section you were on?   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 03:14 pm:        I'm planning on Racing the CCS races at VIR North this weekend. I'm planning on being there Friday for Cornerspeed practice, then racing Sat/Sun. (... if all goes as planned...). Anybody headed up, if so my # is 910 783 5133. I'll be camping at the track. Nance, thanks for stopping by and thanks for the help. A single mom was very happy to get the bed/storage unit. I'm still giving stuff away!   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 06:38 pm:        No we were near the Cosby area right near I-40. For 7.2 miles it was nothing but looking back over your shoulder to see where you were going, that is not an understatement. The only problem is it turned to a gravel road. That didn't bother me, nor did the crossing the Pigeon River at the bottom. It was not knowing if there was a bridge or not. The two on the sportbikes weren't too keen on crossing rivers. Probably not a bad idea being so far from civilization! Jim R., Bruised ribs??? I had a little incident jumping off the back of a truck, hands slipping off the bed and then over rotating into the side of a brand new Goldwing! Yea, there pretty tuff bikes. Everyone in the parking lot heard it!   1313 Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 10:37 pm:        Nance, Boone, NC to Johnson City, TN is 421. I really dig it just outside of Shady Valley, TN myself... Until I get a decent pic in some decent sun, this teaser pic will have to do: It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween... 1313 P.S. Those who posted questions directed towards me - I don't have time to answer right now, but I will respond, latest by the weekend.   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 11:09 pm:        Oh now that looks wicked cool! Can't wait to see it.   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 06:09 am:        Brankin - That airbox looks fantastic! Mountain City is 421, Johnson City is 321. In July of 2004, I learned to ride a bike. In September of 2004, I went to BRAG's "Running The Ridge" ride in Bonne. The first day we rode south and west, coming home on 321. The next day we rode north, hitting 58, taking it to Damascus, and then 421 through Shady Valley. I go back up there now and I can't believe I rode on those roads with 6 weeks of experience. (Message edited by jlnance on September 17, 2008)   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 06:14 am:        Heh - 321 is also the infamous "ride back to the cabin at night on twisty mountain roads in the rain after someone got us lost" road. It's why I put driving lights on the bike.   Seeinstars Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 05:49 pm:        Who'd guess I'd get another color. This makes color number 5.   M2nc Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 07:24 pm:        Mike W. Good luck. I doubt I will be able to get away. I need to get ready for Buellotoberfest. 1313 - Looks good. Boone to Mountain City is 421. Seein - I always liked the Blue.

I am not sure if they will have the CR, but I know they will have 4 1125s and all the bikes will be 09s. For more information: http://capitalcitybikefest.com/   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 03:08 pm:        Mike, did you see that there was a group from Hampton Roads planning to ride down to this? http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/395430.html?1221653893 (Message edited by jlnance on September 18, 2008)   Shadyplace20 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 07:45 pm:        Anyone going to the fest?   Seeinstars Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 07:56 pm:        I'd been planning to go to this for 6 months. Back when mtb told me about it. Now I'm not going. Me and my wife are going to new york city for a short getaway.   U4euh Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 07:59 pm:        Killboy has'em up. pic # 215, 445, 486-520? We had a blast at the Dragon!!! You can also get a peek at my new fairing!   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 08:15 pm:        what day Jim?   1313 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 09:56 pm:        Guess I've never been to Johnson City, TN then... But I have had a couple of bottles of Dr. Enuf though... FWIW... So today was a sunny day... Sure beats a rainy day... Ducati dominoes! 1313   1313 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 10:00 pm:        BTW, I plan at being at to the fest - if the fest you are referring to is the Capital City Bikefest, that is. 1313   Brina_bueller Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 12:02 am:        Sorry, the 13th of Sept. Starts on page 18 then up, most of the pictures from 18 to 26 are the group of people we rode with. The black R1 is my neighbor, the SuperHawk is Pete, and the yellow Gixxer is a young lady from Atlanta. Who by the way could ride very well!   Jlnance Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 04:17 am:        Here is one of them Jim. Looking good: http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/photocard.aspx?pc= 237302CBD04A04B67A425B16746B6B1B   Jlnance Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 06:50 am:        Mark, you ever seen a gear that looks like this? Why do they make them inside out?   U4euh Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 09:57 am:        Is that out of the tranny Jim? We plan on attending the fest also.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 09:59 am:        It's from another thread on oil pumps. Now that I look at it, I think it might be the pump itself. It looks sort of like the internals of a rotary engine, and I notice that the teeth seal against the internal cogs.   Smoke Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 11:04 am:        it is in fact the pump portion. tim   Mikethebike72 Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 02:45 pm:        FYI, we will have 2 1125CR's here for the demo event.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 02:46 pm:        A cool way to do a pump. Thanks Tim.   Spectrum Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 09:33 pm:        Demo event?
