I've tried all of them. IMO these are the best and 'cleanest' ones (Wal Mart carries them) http://www.bumblebee.com/products/tuna/bumble-bee-spicy-thai-chili-seasoned-tuna-pouch/

Those are responsible for a lot of the weight I lost

Sure, maybe if you're from Canada. Go ahead and check out the TV ratings for the Stanley Cup Final...then check them for the NBA Finals, 'nuff said.

That was great! I've closely followed the Cavs since the Price/Daugherty/Harper teams from the 80s & 90s. They beat the best regular season team of all time on the road in a game 7. It had to be that way to break the drought.

False rumor.

I'm assuming I can exchange my points for moonshine

is that offer open to anyone?

There was a cbr929

Don't do that how much seat time have you spent on 2 wheels?

Down there they call them Vols

Like Highlander n shit?!?! Jbot riding again...lol & lol

Yep, a scratched frame needs to replaced per insurance. The labor to disassemble and reassemble on a new frame is more than the bike is worth.

Just because this conversation came up on the Gap trip...if anyone is working on anything (body position, lines, etc) I'll follow you for a few miles and we can talk about it at the next stop.

just claim it as a driveway tip over.

I think I can make this. Any idea on the route yet?

I'll see if I can make it. If I can, I could meet in New Concord.

Hmmm

We should plan a multi day WV ride for July. The roads are every bit as good as what's near Deal's Gap, but with less traffic and LEOs. It'll take 3 days (2 nights) to ride most of the really good roads. Last time I did a WV trip, I spent 1 night in Harrisonburg, VA (near James Madison University) and 1 night in Buckhannon, WV. I probably still have that route saved somewhere.

My buddy that showed up was one of my best friends in high school. We both joined the Marines just before Desert Storm. The military and then life took us different directions. Saturday was the first time I saw him in 25 years. That was the highlight of my trip...well that and ditching that cop outside of Robbinsville We got loaded at the bar at Fontana. Not sure how much we drank but the bar bill for 2 of us was $140 Sunday morning I was still a little drunk. I had to chill out for a couple hours before I could ride the Dragon and head home.

Yep. If you try to go fast, you'll be slow. This year I was just smoothly gliding from one corner to the next. Very little throttle or brake inputs, unless it was absolutely necessary. It was MUCH more fun that way.

Last year (first trip to Deal's gap), I really didn't like riding the Dragon. I figured it out this year and felt really good on it.

I was afraid he was going to crash at first. I could tell he could really ride after a few corners. I was cracking up inside my helmet watching him. At one point, I gave him a thumbs up. There was a group of people in the parking lot on top of the mountain waiting for him. He appeared to be a local guy...I'd imagine he can probably ride the hell out of a sport bike, too.

Kent, Jamie and I saw the fastest Harley rider I've ever seen. He was flying up Blood Mountain on a a Sportster wearing a t-shirt and a brain bucket. He wasn't dragging parts...must have have some serious suspension work done to get that thing to corner like that. Wish I had a video. It was hilarious watching him.

This bike is setup perfectly for this kind of trip

That's pretty much how it felt. It happened so fast I didn't have time to think it through. Don't try this at home kids.
