Just got back, Roads were in pretty decent shape considering, Low sided early in my ride on 129 in a 180 deg left hander, I cracked it open and rode it out into a gonna be tank slapper and managed to get straight, I was only doing about 30mph and decided at that point to keep it easy and get smooth! I found out that there was a slight mist on the road from a county truck leaking a ton of water and the white line was slicker than poo. It was much cooler in the mountains than is here, the ride was cool and refreshing even in full gear. Wings landing is probably gonna be a no, I got a lot of cleanup before Sat. and the party. |

Let me clarify, I did not crash, just almost, the bike came WAY out from underneath me though, like power sliding a dirt bike. Kdan, I might ride with you monday, let me see how the week goes and I will let you know. |

Someone thinks if they give me a Sony Ericsson my cell phone habits will improve. I'll give it a try. This one's got a camera... |

For some reason I think it is user error rather than Brand name. |

Oh yeah I'm sure of that. I'm thinking Paul doesn't want me in any more trouble. He's thinking if I have a phone with all the bells and whistles, I'm more likely than not to have the phone with me. Paul's a good guy, Nam helicopter pilot, refuses to grow up, and rides. Too bad his choice in bikes tend to be the metric cruiser type... This is Jena (her BMW is almost in the picture) Paul (his old Suzuki he's got a Yamaha now) and myself, last summer.

Stephen, sometimes it good to be alone While I agree, I wonder what you tried to post. If it's a picture, and you're having a hard time resizing it (60k max at 700X525 max) send it to glitch@badweatherbikers.com and I'll be glad to help. |

Hey guys, Kdan is on his way north right now. Actually about 45 minutes ago he headed out. He is doing 129 to 180 to 60 if anyone is up that way. He rides the Yellow Buell. Doubt there will be to many of those up there today. Charlie, he said to get in touch with him about Monday. I'm sure he'll post more when he gets back. |

I got a message about not having a phone yet, but no picture attached. I'll be at Wings Landing tonight for bike night. And Thursday at the Vortex. As far as riding this weekend, I won't know 'til the last minute. |

Wings Landing is at the Colin's Hill and 316 intersection. They have bike night every Tuesday. Usually they have a stunt group doing stunts in the parking lot. Starts about 7ish, anyone that wants can go, can. |

We saw ya....It was Me, Shred and Glitch. We were helping some Gixxer that lowsided off the road in that corner. Me and Glitch took off after you thinking you might stop at the top but no such luck. I'll try to make it tonight. (Message edited by black_sunshine on June 07, 2005) |

Tbs_stunta, The bike looks sweet as always. I was on the side of the road sunday at 60 north making sure the two guys were o.k on 60 north near Pigeon creek A.K.A 'the knee dragging training area' he was on a older GSXR600 He said he went down because he went in with to much corner speed. I told him 'I see that he got your knee down! You and the the other Tri-owners came buy. We need to ride some time. Seems like we're always going in different directions. Ride safe! |
