    GET FUCKED, POSERS!

    First of many....





    Some wacky little guy handed me this SD card full of videos. Looks like he had a good time.

    Little mild run on the lookout for anyone willing to hand out performance driving awards.

    So this guy on an SV decides to follow a tricked out C6 through a clear portion of the Dragon....

    So pissed I couldn't go! Looks like you guys had a great time and got in some good riding. I'm already ready for it to be next year so I can get down there and ride. But until then I will be riding up here and hoping to get in a track day!

    What other rides did you guys do beyond chasing dragons?

    Did the Cherohala a couple times, Rt.28 to Highlands, Joyce Kilmer/swimming in river/waterfalls 3 times. Took a day and went up to the Great Smokey Mountains national park for a putt-putt traffic and scenery slog. Had a hilarious coasting race for about 7 miles up at the Joyce Kilmer lookout dead end road. Carbonzx10 beat me on the next to last corner! At least we found something motards suck at....

    He actually waved me by for a second, but I gave him the "no thanks" wave and the thumbs up. I'd rather chase than lead when there is 3k lbs of angry V8 in the mix.

    And finally a nice clean run



    We were all pretty spent from a long day of riding/swimming at that point. Still loads of fun.

    wow...ultra distortion...did the guy on the SV crank his microphone gain or something?

    couldn't listen to much of it

    dunno about the rest of you - but youtube was defaulting my resolution to 360p...clickie gear-> 720p quality was good

    It's the mic on the camera. Too much of everything.

    My and my coworker buddies want to go down sooo bad. I drove it in my Wrangler on vacation, and that was a blast.

    But I think I've decided if I ever do get down there with a bike, it won't be on my TLS. It's way too scary, I know I'd launch myself off the side of that mountain somehow.

    Y'all need to just do it, next year.

    I've done it on a Ducati 900SS, a ZRX1200 (6 weeks), a KLR650 (3 weeks), an SV650 (3 weeks) and Wee (3 weeks).

    I'm seriously considering just taking the SV next time if trailer space gets tight. The ZRX was a blast down there too. Hell, everything was. KLR, Wee, Duc, everything was fun. The Rex was a great single bike to have down there. KLR was a great rougher pavement tight stuff bike (same with the Wee). SV is great on the tight and the high speed sweeper stuff.
