^that was me giving you neg rep on that, ass hole.

Wishing all you folks a safe and glorious trip. Life got in my way for this one. Maybe I can grab the next train.

Set up a monthly deal and I'll help. Seeing some of you guys weekly would be too much

Rollin 7am at the Red Roof bubby.

Rather read this thread than a R.I.P. thread.

I have been pondering all day as to whether or not I wanted to make a post about this because it is the internet. I know I will get harped on for my choice/decision that I made. Putting that all aside I am posting because I have ridden with a handful of you and met others. I want others to learn from my mistake and to not repeat what took place. Backstory: Decided to go on a ride with a close friend of mine who I am very comfortable riding with. We both enjoy getting lost and just going out and riding. It had been one hell of a day already with many oddball events taking place. Rode in heavy dense fog/mist, took a wrong turn and went off roading, almost ran out of gas, and just had an all around oddball good day. Now, in the middle of our day we were on a nice curvy road which got slowed down by three vehicles. We were following them for a while even though we knew we wanted to make a pass. Coming out of a right handed turn into a long straight to which I was behind my friend a few car lengths behind the last vehicle. At that very moment we both made the choice to drop a few gears and make a three vehicle pass. We could see a long distance ahead to which there were no vehicles coming towards us. We did not see the road slightly curve to where the incident happened. The curve was not the issue but the 1500 Dodge Ram that appeared as we were speeding excessively past the vehicles was. We were approaching the rear of the front vehicle when we knew we did not have enough time to make the pass. My friend hit the front brakes hard to slow the speed to get in behind the front vehicle. This action caused me to brake hard, very hard and by the time I was at a reasonable speed the next thing I saw was a brown blur going by my left side as I was in the middle of the two lanes. Luckily no one was hurt or any accidents were caused. I blame no one but myself for the choice I made at that moment to pass when I was not 100% that I could make it safely. This may change the way people think of me or my riding skills. I want people to know that everyone is human and we all make choices which impact others and ourselves. I never thought I would think in a moment that I was going to die but that moment on Monday 9/19/16 will forever be the day I realize how my choices impact life. I know that passing one car is the safest pass to be made if a pass is needed. I should have just slowed down and enjoyed the scenery. I knew what I was doing was dangerous. I had to post no matter what is said by the audience because it is a lesson for me to offer to you.

But now that you're a mod......

Ok...it was me. Good memory. I can verify Brian has ridden a motorcycle on at least two occasions

Yea thats what bothers me. Mother fuckers I know this drive is bad stop asking me to verify as I've already done this bullshit and send me my new drive!

I actually have years ago multiple times and those hard drives arrived quick, but they had me run through diagnostics that I've already done to confirm that I wasn't just making stuff up, so it was some wasted time, but not too bad.

I was thinking of getting some paintball guns, cranking up the FPS, freezing some paintballs and if we could get our hands on some of those Pepper Spray paintballs.....

Yeah I am hoping to prove them wrong as well!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Amputation is an option for later. I had a bad wreck in '98; ER docs and a couple of surgeons said my right leg had to come off. A third surgeon said let's try and fix it. It was ugly, painful and learning to use the leg and ankle again hurt like hell. It was worth it. I've always straddled my one Harley to kick-start it. I can kick it to life today. With that right leg and ankle. I'm not meaning to hi-jack or brag...I'm saying don't write it off just yet.

Yes sir. If you end up there LMK, I'm right around the corner and you are welcome to stop by and have a brew or something.

Looks like we have that solved...

And yes, I have a pint of my Bourbon Moonshine and a quart of my Apple Pie Moonshine.

Had a great three days of riding with friends down south. Great weather and no problems. My KTM friend got to ride the Gap twice for his first time.

Anyone mind if I bring my dog along

A close call is when I stopped riding like an asshole. It happens...we either learn from it and become a safer rider or we keep pushing it and maybe never get the chance to learn from a second incident. As I tell people nowadays - as I age my sense of adventure is being overtaken by my sense of self-preservation.

It's hard to admit our mistakes, but when we do, it makes us better riders. Glad you're alright.

^ that was me giving you pos rep for calling him an asshole.

My buddy just mentioned getting me a dealer ticket so I wont have to fight crowds. It'll get me in the first two days that arent open to the public.

^ that was me giving you neg rep for giving him positive rep for calling me an asshole.
