I got lost for a while , but I found my way back :mrgreen:
HSN Dragon Day?
Well... I've been getting some PMs and some texts. Rather then answer a bunch of them how about I post it up...
Anyone interested in meeting up for a ride on the dragon or just some BBQ at the dragon pit.
I'm staying at Two Wheel Inn on 4/3. I will be in the area early and will spend the day riding around, then the Dragon after checkin (drop off luggage and make the bike lighter) then dinner at the Pit.
Saturday 4/4 I will likely be taking 129 to 28 (Fontana Dam) and heading to FL via SC with Coop and his Brother in law.
Two Wheel Inn 828-479-4248 | Accommodations for you and your motorcycle, Located on US129, south of Robbinsville NC near the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway.
and
Dragon Pitt Inn & BBQ | On US129, only 9 miles from the famous Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap
If you've never been on the Dragon, this would be a good time to go. The "season" just opened and Friday should be a low traffic day. Hell of a way to meet a bunch of HSNers.... Plus, you could get some GREAT action shots from Killboy.com - Action Photography at The Tail of the Dragon Deals Gap | The original Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap action photographer.

Getting closer...
Got lots to do b4 then though. Bike needs a few little things handled by then, no biggie.
Here is a pic from last time Canyon and I were there.
Would I ride like this with anyone, nope, Canyon is one of maybe 2 people I would ever consider this with, yes we were above posted speed limit I'm betting, but it never was unsafe feeling! He's got skills and knows me and my level too.
Date of pic, 4-3-13. Next time we ride it, 4-3-15, we need to play lottery!

#1 rule of all riding.. ... never do big work on a bike right before a big trip. Whatever you are doing make sure you give her a good burn in ride around town. Most I ever do within 3 weeks of a big trip, oil change if needed before the trip is over. Rather ride with fresh oil than do one on the road or wait til I get home. Outside of 3 weeks, it's fine for me for burn in.. 
I'm guessing if a car was coming from the other way, he wouldn't be riding there.
We all know the road is dangerous...why do you think they are wearing their Power Ranger uniforms?
oh ok, i wish i was closer and could go.
Looking forword to finally getting to see a clear full picture of you to put a face with the name...
i'm sure you've seen the pics of me i have posted over the years.
Tires, lets talk tires. You're still running on the plugged rear tire i imagine,
how's it holding up? Losing any Air compared to the front????
Although my gut instinct tells me you won't be going on the mini-dragon trip
i still hope you do.. and if you do I think you should get that GoPro and get some practice in with it leading up to Sturgis.
Keeping my eye on you little buddy, you come across like a "mover and shaker" :lol:

Although my gut instinct tells me you won't be going on the mini-dragon trip Why wouldn't I go? It's a short trip at just over 300 miles one way.
