Catch the Sport bike – Pass the Sport bike

The was taken on Deals Gap May of 2010. This just goes to prove that just because you own a Sport Bike doesn’t mean you know how to ride a Sport Bike. There is no way that I, riding a cruiser, should be to catch or pass any sport bike on the Twist-a-Thrill of Deals Gap. After catching this rider, they would not signal me to go around, they ignore my beep beep, so after following this bike for almost 3 minutes, I went around.

This is it. I have nothing else to post for this trip unless Lori find something unexpected. I hope to be posting more trips in the future as they come up.

Lori and I did a little Ziplining in Pigeon Forge, TN. and it was great. The guides and the people running the business were very nice and professional. It was a hoot to ride in the Miltary DEUCE AND A HALF and Halves up the side of the mountain and we always felt safe. Highly recommend if you ever get in the area.

Check out the Killboy Shots

While we were riding Deals Gap on vacation, they have folks on the side of the road taking pictures in order to make money. They take the shot in hopes the rider will order the action shots. Well after reviewing mine, I think I will have to order at least photo 422. Click the link below and then when the screen appears, click next until you get to img_422 listed right underneath the picture itself.

Do you see what I see? Lori holding the camera is one and sparks flying off the bottom of the bike is two! Looks like the entire left hand side of the bike is dragging but it is just the peg.

Day 9 Decided to come home

After watching the weather channel and the local weather channel in Pigeon Forge, any hope of having a nice scenic alternate ride home went out the window. Sure enough when when awoke this morning we were greeted by rain. Not real heavy, but it was steady. So we packed our bags and just decided to make a Interstate 81 run for home. I knew by the forecast once I got the Bristol that I should be clear of rain. Just as forecast, we broke out about 10 to 15 miles south of Bristol and never saw another rain drop.

The further north we pushed, the hotter it got. Once we arrived in the Staunton Virginia area, I pulled off for gas and to drop all the rain gear. Ah, much better. From Staunton to Stephens City, we got caught in a nice draft of cars and was home in no time.

We had a great time on the trip and below you will find picture links for all the days that I could not upload the entire days pictures. I will also try to put the videos up as well. So keep checking back to see the videos as I get them edited and uploaded.

Almost forgot to mention, the total mileage for this trip was only 2217 miles. Just a baby trip
