  1. I think I've met him as well, short guy that can't touch the ground on an adult sized bike. I don't know about the bike in question but every damn Ducati I came across down south recently was fast as hell.
  2. This is my least favorite thread in the history of me being on this site, please make it stop.
  3. I will probably regret starting this dialog but I'll bite for now. Just what instinct would you be referring to that might put a human in danger or make you worry?
  4. It was meant to be until my tire cut it short. We only did half of 180 until it crossed 129 then we ran that back instead of going on to 28. I like 60 better than the dragon. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Cherohala+Skyway&daddr=US-74+W+to:TN-40+W%2FUS-64+W%2FUS-74+W+to:TN-30+W+to:TN-315+N%2FReliance+Rd+to:TN-68+S&hl=en&sll=35.372675,-84.285221&sspn=0.075726,0.154324&geocode=Ff6nGwIdzKj5-g%3BFbqDFgIdw1T4-g%3BFcjIFwIdym31-g%3BFTjuGAIdCpb2-g%3BFdBTGwId6Mn4-g%3BFWuoGwIdrqj5-g&mra=ls&t=m&z=10

  7. I don't know your whole situation but this scenario is one of the reasons you buy from a reputable breeder. They should be taking this dog back and be responsible for finding it a home. Initial upfront costs are sometimes more buying this way but when lifestyle or family situations change the extra added assurance of this being an out takes some of the stress out of an already stressful situation. As someone that has been around the dog world for decades I have seen plenty scenarios where getting rid of a dog was the best thing for all concerned especially the dog. People who are choosing to chastise you are ignorant and lack enough life experiences to make a judgment call on your choices so I would just ignore the negative input as another asshole not adding anything useful. Good luck with getting this situation taken care of, wish I could help but the house is too full of dogs as it is.
  8. http://killboy.photoreflect.com/store/Orderpage.aspx?pi=04RK01OR070159&po=159&pc=1011 This was sport bike victim number four out of five that the scooter passed on my one Dragon ride over the weekend. I love the 250 scooter, the horn isn't as good as the one on the 150 but it hauls balls. Turnone That bike is too beautiful & fast.
  9. Look out for scooter on the Dragon. http://www.photoreflect.com/store/Orderpage.aspx?pi=0QAK016X061123&po=1123&pc=1142 I only made one pass on the Dragon while down there and it was on the scooter. I had a blast and should have done a few more passes but wanted to go see the folks over at Fontana before dark. I ended up riding back to my hotel in the dark anyway so I wish that I would have stayed for the fun. I didn't miss not getting the bike on it at all. This is the first time being there that I have been on other roads instead of the Dragon, Cherahola or 28. This is the most fun I have had down there by far though. I vote 60 as being the best road evar! Four of us took her the other direction Saturday and had a blast. I got schooled by Turnone on it with much enjoyment. Thanks Ken and Pauly for introducing me to her. What a great group of guys to go riding with Friday. I didn’t really plan to ride Friday but I am so glad I went with you guys because it will make my future visits to the area that much more enjoyable. As an added bonus I got to ride in a group that included a Harley in it and wasn’t pissed off at all because it wasn’t holding the group up, good times for sure. We had to cut our ride short Saturday because I finally shagged my rear tire. Had a new 190/55 Pure mounted, loaded the bike in the trailer, took the scooter out and never got the bike back out again because of the rain Sunday. I have heard for years that there are better roads in the area and couldn't imagine it being true so I never ventured out. What a mistake that has been and I promise it will never happen again. I had lunch with Turnone and his son Sunday waiting for the rain and wet roads to clear but it never did so I decided to go visit my brother in Apex, N.C. for the day and would drive home as planned Monday. Wrong, I am still in Apex waiting for a new oil pan to be installed. I had a small leak that I was going to take care of when I got home, well it must have opened up on the trip and the truck would smoke badly when I pulled a steep upgrade hill from the oil burning off the exhaust. I burned and leaked two quarts of oil the first tank of gas getting out of the Gap area. This is going to cost about $1,400 to have fixed, luckily I brought work with me so I haven't lost much time plus I got to see my brother. As an added bonus while he was working yesterday I got to go see my nieces dance recital practice so I have that going for me.
  10. He did not have it on, I told him not to bother because it would just be of scenery.
  11. I was saying "Oh my God" over and over I can't believe we're doing this, "Oh my God" what did he just do, "Oh my God" where did he go? This trip restored all Ducati riders into the rider category. Turnone and I.P. can flat out ride. Turnone left me with boiled off brake fluid trying to stay with him.
  12. I drove through the night. I am sleeping in my. Car in the parking lot by the general store. Don't wake me up too early.
  13. I will be taking my scooter to the gap this coming up weekend so I may have my scooter fix on the nice curvy roads. May not plan another ride for June.
  14. I PMd you before I saw this. I thought the room was not refundable?
  15. I would like to point out to the other dumbfuck posting that likes to tell others that they are being ignored how stupid and juvenile it makes him sound as well. Good company you are keeping there dicklick, I would rate both of you in the same category of being about the stupidest posters we have here. But don't quote me on that.
  16. One southbound lane open two northbound lanes open,looks like going home this could be the way to go. I can go down 77 to 81 from Cleveland & that only adds 1:20 minutes for me if the detour costs more time than that then it might be the way to go down.
  17. I expect a report before I maybe leave Friday morning about the Jellico situation so I can plan my route accordingly. http://www.kentucky.com/2012/06/02/2210137/southbound-i-75-in-tennessee-to.html
  18. Bad324 are you getting the wheel chock from me?
  19. Very tempting, I am still day to day & won't know if I'm going until Wednesday. I was going to stay at Phillips Motel $120 for three nights. If I go and if you still have it available by then I will take it but sell it now if you can.
  20. I thought this was a tire thread. It's a trap, it's a gay thread. Carry on.
  21. Quick thoughts about it and after some checking I will start a new thread for this year. June 24th, 555 both directions with a planned eating stop. All you fools that failed to purchase a scooter this year will be sorry.
  22. Funny you should bring this up. I swore after last year’s ride I would trailer farther south before riding but time has mellowed my thoughts and I have been thinking of doing this again.
  23. James? Didn't I chase you and Parks with my truck the last time I saw you? You still with Black Betty?
