Author Message   Hulley Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 01:11 pm:        Drift, I thought it was Deadman that told me about the tag under the tail ticket, I cant remember. Everything is just a blur now. BTW it was good to meet you!   Whodom Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 01:14 pm:        A4: glad you had a good ride. They say many more riders are killed on the Skyway than at Deal's Gap. The long sweepers lure people into getting over their heads. Sounds like you handled it without a problem though. It is a very cool road, but take your own drinks/food if you plan on stopping. The couple of rest stops that they have don't have running water. Heads up for anyone headed to the Gap any time soon. http://www.tailofthedragon.com reported a slew of accidents at Deal's Gap this weekend (no fatalities IIRC) so expect heavy law enforcement for a while.   Hulley Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 01:32 pm:        BS, both units are about the same price $2100. they are both 52 inchers! yeah baby!   Black_sunshine Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 02:56 pm:        Yea..... I went with the 47". I was hoping on the 52" but when I got the 47" in the room, there was no way the bigger one would have fit.   Bunny Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 03:02 pm:        Thunder Press, May 05 edition...."TWO ride the twisties" article complete with description of the March Badness event, demos w/ Erik Buell and......3% Bragging Rights club.   Along4theride Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 04:14 pm:        They say many more riders are killed on the Skyway than at Deal's Gap. The long sweepers lure people into getting over their heads. I can totally see that. There are quite a few corners that are pretty tight coming around a ridge here and there. I talked to a local who said they used to try to enforce the speed limit on the Skyway but the gas for the patrol cars was more expensive than the revenue they were bringing in on tickets so they just 'clean up messes' now. Whodom- I did take a sandwich with me and it worked out well. But I didn't take a drink so I was glad to see the little hamburger stand at the entrance on the TN side cuz you're right, there are NO facilities on the Skyway. At the hamburger stand they put up a good sized covered picnic area for Motorcyclists and a little and I mean little paved motorcycle parking. It's really nice.   Along4theride Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 05:54 pm:        Did any of you hear about this???? Two motorcycle riders killed in DeKalb crash STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Published on: 04/18/05 Two motorcyclists were killed late Sunday when their bikes collided with a car on a south DeKalb County interstate. The 11 p.m. crash shut down the eastbound lanes of I-285 near Flat Shoals Road for several hours. Witnesses told police that a group of speeding motorcycle riders were driving erratically on the interstate before the accident occurred. The two riders involved in the crash were passing between two cars when they apparently collided with one of the cars, according to DeKalb police. One of the cyclists died at the the scene, while the other was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital. Their names have not been released. It was said in other news reports that they were riding with a group of riders at over 100mph. Some were popping wheelies and lane splitting. I guess when the guys went down NONE of the other bikes even stopped - NOT COOL   M1a65 Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 06:25 pm:        Theres a video clip on the AJC's web page on this. Sounds like a couple of squids got squished.   Black_sunshine Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 06:41 pm:        Darwinism at its best!   Along4theride Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 07:11 pm:        Sounds like a couple of squids got squished QFT but I didn't want to say it My heart does go out to their families, they are the ones left to suffer.   New12r Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 07:06 am:        Hulley, That was me that got a "Warning" not a ticket for my tag not being vertical, Cops just dont like me I guess.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 07:41 am:          Black_sunshine Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 08:27 am:        She sure does have a firm chest.   Silverbullet Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 08:27 am:        Dude... she is way too young for you.   Odie Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 08:59 am:        Stealth, PM me your address....Odie   Along4theride Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 10:28 am:        If anyone is interested.... Tonight- Wings Landing in Lawrenceville is having Stunt riding at 7pm. (Shred is gonna be there) Tomorrow- GSB arranged a Sportbike event at the FLYING MACHINE in Lawrenceville at 7pm. (kinda like the Vortex on Thursday for people on the North side) We've been invited to have a Buell showing   New12r Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 12:07 pm:        Glitch, Is that your "Side Project"? I like her. I may go to wings landing tonight, should I bring the 4 wheeler and show them whats up?   Along4theride Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 01:17 pm:        Shred said they have a 'new' stunt guy- Derrik moved to FL. It should be interesting to see what this new guy has to offer.   Black_sunshine Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 02:17 pm:        Are they going to be on real bikes or just the little 50cc and scooters with fur?   Stealthxb Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 03:30 pm:        SOUNDS BETTER IN THE SONG When I saw her standing there, with her bright eyes and shining hair, she was looking back at me. Some are meant to sing, some are meant to talk and some aren’t meant to say a thing. But when she opened up her mouth and that sweet voice came out I lost track of my own name. Now she’s found herself, and I lost mine and I’m just another guy who can’t give her anything. Well the drifter, He holds on to his youth just like it was money in the bank. And “Lord knows, I can’t change” sounds better in the song than it does with hell to pay. I might as well of slipped that ring on your finger from a window of a van as it drove away. Now she’s found herself, and I lost mine and I’m just another guy who can’t give her anything. Dreams are given to you when you’re young enough to dream them before they can do you any harm. They don’t start to hurt, until you try to hold on to them after seeing how they really are. She used to dream them with me, every single crazy one, until they started hurting her too, now she’s got some of her own and outgrowing me, might be the best thing for her she’s ever done. A light that shines as bright as hers can’t be kept in the shadows for too long. A heart that wants to live and a soul that wants to give can’t just sit at home alone. Lord, she’s give me everything and never wanted anything I couldn’t give. Just what was inside of me. And now she’s found herself, and I lost mine and I’m just another guy who can’t give her anything.   Along4theride Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 03:32 pm:        Drift- I just saw your bike at the dealership coming back from a 'test' ride. Very Sharp and it Sounds Great!!!   Along4theride Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 03:46 pm:        Greg at Cycle Gear told Shred that they're full sized street bikes. It being the 'opening night' it's supposed to be a good show. (Message edited by along4theride on April 19, 2005)   Drift Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 10:11 pm:        A4TR, Thanks. I wish it performed like it sounds. I'm in TFI woe land it looks to be. This newbie has some things to learn about tuning this beast. No worries yet though. I'm am excited about the challenge. Of course I am running the initial settings that they tell you to start from. NOT. Doesn't work!! K and N 12 air box (standard on the City) Stock ECM Special Ops pipe (and fender eliminator .. Odie rocks) TFI We must have just missed each other because when I picked it up the engine was still hot from the ride John took. I am slowly getting to know everyone. Hope we see each other soon so I can put a face with the name. Later, D   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 07:41 am:        Glitch: I know you're doin' the 3% thing in the picture there with your lady of no talking back... but, you do know that is the "two in the pink one in the stick" hand signal. two guys actually got in trouble a year or two ago for starting that little thing. funny. I prefer "two in the coo, one in the flue and a thumb on the drum ". It looks like your thumb is on it's way. (flue: 1   P   Pronunciation Key  (fl) n. A pipe, tube, or channel for conveying hot air, gas, steam, or smoke, as from a generation source to the open air. flue Does her ear smell like latex? (Message edited by torqer on April 20, 2005)   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 07:51 am:        I know you're doin' the 3% thing ... The Shocker! Does her ear smell like latex? Ummm...latex...   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 07:53 am:        Flue! Anything good happen after Glitch and I left? Did Suzuki Boy wreck attempting those out of control Wheelies/Stoppies? I saw some heads turn when we left.....Gotta love those V-twins, baby!!!!   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 07:56 am:        Glitch....Does "Mute Woman" have a Alpinestars jacket and ride an R6?   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 08:13 am:          Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 08:22 am:        It's a shame.....good from a far but far from good. Lets just hope she don't kill herself on that R6 (Message edited by black_sunshine on April 20, 2005)   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 08:53 am:        I'll put some pics from last night in the pic section as soon as I get them ready.
