I may be game also. 6 minutes ago, TimTheAzn said: Same. Just gotta figure out what days we are doing what. I am very flexible in regards to requesting more time off. I think this is going to turn out to be my main vacation this year. Not mad about it at all. On your Daytona's? Don't do it until Dan makes a run through there and reports what conditions are like. I accidentally went across there years ago one spring on my 750 shadow. I have no idea how I made it or why I am still alive. Its very much straight up at the beginning, mud everywhere and ruts that made my foot pegs drag on each side. Then on the way down the trail crosses a river like six times. The riverbed at the crossings is cement, covered with an inch of moss. You have to keep your boots down and let them slide so you don't wipe out. All depends on the weather and how much rain has been there in previous weeks. And also how many years it has been since the road crews went through and did some scraping.

Street tires and 135 rwhp not a good combo climbing out of those creek beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember at one point passing a car on the right...they waved me by. I couldn't slow down to their speed, I would have fell over like Artie Johnson on Laugh In. I will never forget looking down in the car as I went by. Dude's wife was sitting there with her hands clenched on the dash with this look of total terror on her face. I imagine she is somewhere right now telling the story of the dude on the bike that passed her and looked over with a look of total terror on his face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode it with my buddy Frank on his VFR. was quite the adventure. Came out onto the Dragon just to run into a roadblock. Some dude on a KTM Sumo rode off the cliff and died. Waited 2 hours in the rain. They wouldn't let us by until they recovered his body. Sucked. Was so damn high from making it through Parsons that the accident scene brought me WAY down. Actually sat there on the shoulder, made a shelter with a tarp off the SV and cracked open a beer. Toasted the fallen rider. Didn't get any looks from the law enforcement? hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 We called it bagtag, and it was far from a tap. Basically a stealthy, highspeed, uppercut to the junk. You young fucks, I was in middle school in the mid-late 80s....but we played bagtag in highschool. THAT'S how mature we were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
