I lurk around here, just don't post up for some odd reason.
Anyways, it was actually his idea to come and I could use a break from work and need to use up some vacation time so I figured why not. Plus, I really want to see the difference between the old Katana and the new Gixxer and I can't think of a better place.
I rode to the Dragon for the weekend (D.G. Resort) and, while there, booked room 101 for the Bash at Phillips for Thursday and Friday. Phillips was booked full for Saturday so I have to move to another motel Saturday unless someone cancels. The gap was crazy as usual on the weekend, including last Friday, and the weather was perfect. The trees are still fully green. I only heard about a couple of minor wrecks by noon Saturday. See y'all there!
nice, that sounds like we might be catching the leaves changing over at their peak if they are still green now
should make for an incredible view up there.... also means be careful in some of those turns, those leaves can make the ground slicker than (insert slick sayin here)
From what I understand the dealer show is this weekend ( OCT 1 ) Is anyone going to have a laptop so we can see the new Busa if they have the Suzuki site updated? Such anticapition, The Bash and the 06 Busas. Is it here yet?

Hello fellow BASHERS, just thought i'd chip in my .02 for the upcoming big event. My last trip to the dragon cost me 1 totalled busa, plate and screws in leg and a messed up shoulder which will probably be bolted back into place. The sad part is i lost it coming off the cherahola and do not qualify for the tree of shame, and it was (lucky for me) a slow speed crash, nothing to brag about. Had new 05 busa within 3 weeks of crash but could not ride for 6 weeks. I know Jeremy has posted he will be there but the momma says neither can make the trip alone as i did in june so i have to come too. See me crying! Want to thank Warbaby for the help he gave me after my little get off, tell you more at tne meet, also 2 R1 forum riders went out of their way to help. Aren"t bikers great? (well most) Lets hope we as a group do not get the bad rap we got from BashIII. You all will have to baby this old man for a few days. We will be arriving at the phillips late thursday nite (have a good fire going) and plan on riding till at least noon sunday. Jeremy has a new toy and thinks he can lead vman across the dragon, don't encourage him please. He also got full leathers and the neighbors call him a power ranger. Btw, Warbaby, we somehow got a 3 bed room at the phillips and you are more than welcome to spend
saturday nite in the room rather than find another place to stay. Been watching area weather long range forecast and cooler weather is expected but rain is looming on the horizon lets cross our fingers. Looking foreward to seeing you and having a good (safe) (fast) time.

As GrandpaBusa mentioned, he got whacked hard a couple of months ago when he and I met at Fontana Village for a few days of spirited riding. You Bash vets may recall that Bill is a mature, well-skilled rider but there is no immunity for any of us. $hit happens. He was several hundred miles from home with a totally-crashed Busa, on crutches and very sore, and he knew no one there except me. I was very concerned about him but he toughed it out, drove his car/trailer home, got medical attention (and a new Busa), and now, he's back in the saddle again...a testimonial to the spirit of a true biker. I'm impressed!!!
It's great that you are coming Bill...!
Thanks for the Saturday night offer (I might have to accept). I should have been a fly on the wall when your wife learned that you were coming back to the Dragon. I'll bet that was a premium moment.
See `ya there Brother Bill.
