Re: 100 Days Until Harriman Bash

The Dragon is the ONE place we do NOT want to go during the Bash. Sure its curvy, but its highly overrated . The Dragon has become a huge tourist attraction; and, because of that it usually is a 5 mph parade during the "Season". It does serve a purpose though. Keeps a lot of traffic off t...

Re: 100 Days Until Harriman Bash

FYI,

That's the weekend of the DL650/1000 V-Strom Rally, the KLR650 "Tour de Tellico", and the Asheville Bikefest. The traffic on the Dragon Saturday will be heavy.

Re: Slider.

Not sure if this will fit R1200R's. It does fit the HP2 & the R1200GS. Looks like it offers more protection than just a slider. Not as nice looking though. It does work though. I have first hand experience. http://www.hyderacing.com/images/product/bmw/ab_dc_120.jpg $83.99 at http://www.hyderacin...

The whole event was planned around the street riders getting back first. So, we went in and ordered. Then we sat outside, had lunch, told a few lies, and waited for the dirt riders. And waited. And waited. Told a few more lies. And waited. Then they showed up. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m12...

The Sports ride was very spirited. Shelley was working very hard on her F650 to keep up with us. We took a couple extra roads than the Touring group, and then arrived at a resting spot behind them. They had great fun teasing us about arriving after them. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/mini...

What, are you guys shy? Where's the Orlando "R" riders?

Hope you're showing up this morning at the cafe.

Looks like there's going to be GS and C riders for sure.
