"Now you guys just need to ride other places besides coffee shops. " I rode 2600 miles in the last week, the Dragon, Cherahola, BlueRidge Parkway, the usual. Rode from Asheville home today, 550 miles in 7 hours. |

550/7 = 78.57 mph without allowing for at least 2 stops for gas. My guess is you might have exceeded the posted speed limits at least once or twice? |

Nice ride Rich. We'll hopefully see you on Wednesday to hear all about it. |

I tried to hold it at 100, but the traffic was too heavy in most places. The fast lane on 95 was rolling, several cars passed me. Mostly 85-90. I almost had to stop for gas again. The fuell light came on about 10 miles from home. Of course, this is a fantasy scenario, it would be dangerous and irresponsible, not to say illegal, to actually do it. |

I tested out my X-soft clutch yesterday and I really like it. My bike feels a bit more modern and less ancient. I'm sure the muller and the freespirits are just as good. I'd say it's one of the best mods I've done. It's amazing what a simple redesign of a stock component can do. (Message edited by isham on July 25, 2007) |

I made it to Barnie's dry. Now, getting home was a different story. Isham stopped in and we chatted for a bit. Those of you that passed showed more common sense then we did apparently. |

I opened the garage door, and it started. A few minutes earlier, I'd have been on the road. Being a slacker pays off, sometimes. |

I got nailed by it coming out of Disney. It was coming down in sheets so I took shelter. |

Maybe we should do it early Saturday mornings, during the rainy season. It's getting ready again here right now. |

I'm with Rich on that one and yup, it's starting to build up over here too. |

Agreed. I'm all for staying dry. |

I did email LaFayette as I am out of state working on a new Job, So I will miss another ride. Both my children stayed at Give Kids the World as they both were granted wishes. In fact, I was "tucked in" by Mayor Clayton on my little girls wish as she got nervous and Mayor Clayton was trying to make her smile. So I really hate to miss this ride and thanks to all who support GKTW as it is a most wonderful place for children facing medical problems. Maybe soon I will make one of these rides. Larry Ezzell |

Cool, I did tuck-in Friday night as Mayor Clayton, love to tuck-in dads, the kids love it when you mess with their dad. Here is a picture of me on my Blast as Mayor: http://www.perrysys.com/2006/gktwbuell.jpg |

Good morning guys, Does anyone know of a good, reliable used beginner bike for sale? One of the managers at the Waterford Lakes store took the beginner riding course this past weekend and asked for my help in selecting a used bike. She liked the Blast she rode during the course and I'd love to see her on a Buell, but that's not totally necessary. Thanks. |
