  1. It seems that there is interest in people going but I'm suspect of the crowd. I got some weird text a while back that seemed too much like a grinder setup to make any commitment to when or where. If the drunk or stoner that texted me could figure out technology better organizing might actually appear organized.

  2. Been thinking of the same thing. It would just be a toy and if it doesn't work well I have the means to make it work so cheap is where I've been headed. ARs are stupid simple so overspending isn't needed unless you want to go match shooting.

  3. I am not volunteering to organize anything.

    I usually stay in Robbinsville, NC at Phillips Motel. It's a crappy place in the middle of town but it's cheap. You can walk to a Mexican restaurant, McDonalds and Wendys. It's close to the Cherohala Skyway and 17 miles from the Gap store. Back in the day the Busa Bash used to rent the whole place out. It has a new owner now so the prices have gone up.

  4. That fancy 1K should be able to keep up with anyone I can think of and especially now that a lot of the older guys have moved on to comfortable instead of fast bikes. If you are in the low 40 and Mid-Ohio you can keep pace with any street ride.

  5. Having a Grom to play among them has to be as much fun as you can have on two wheels, you should really enjoy that.

    I would suggest that if there is a group going down to avoid being there at the same time though. Those little fuckers are everywhere and they travel in packs clogging up the road. Not that big of a deal if you venture out away from the Gap but a royal pain in the ass on the gap. Those slow little shits are fine to pass when there are only two or three of them but mob mentality turns them into big assholes in a pack.

  6. Wow what a bunch of technical jargon meant to ruin a good time.

    If you want to go fast you need to be able to brake effectively. You can generate way more g-force from braking than you can from accelerating plus it's way more fun to stop hard than it is to accelerate hard.

  7. If you can count and keep track of how many rounds, magazines or guns you own you don't have enough.

    I sold seven guns last year, don't remember how many I bought in the past year and have no clue or desire to know how many I own. I started to keep some at other locations a few years ago.

    Skyline sucks balls. Too many people on that section. 

    I like BRP I'll admit the limit on some of it needs to 55. But I've found sticking to 10 over they dont even bat an eye at you in the 45 areas. Just dont go over much in the reduced areas. I like it for the views and lack of comunter and truck traffic. Most folks will pull over and let you go buy it you put your head lights on their mirror for a min

     

    I set my cruise at 54mph, I probably had to turn the cruise off about half a dozen times for sharp curves I couldn't see around. Kinda boring for 469 miles and even though the new bike is comfortable going so slowly I didn't need to move around so it became uncomfortable. Gas stops were welcomed to end the monotony. It's a beautiful safe road that would be really fun if it wasn't so heavily patrolled and the fines weren't so big if caught speeding.

    Just like Deal's Gap I'm certain that there are roads just as good in the area that aren't patrolled as heavily with a realistic speed limit.
