I am more than willing to help on the Gap Saturday afternoon after the photo shoot. I will be happy to help with lines on the Hill. A no brake run will do wonders for helping smoothness. I will have a camera set up with me and I will be more than happy to shoot as long as the battery holds out.
I am not much of the long distance rider, Power Race tires do not like touring.
Please read, I will not work on speed with people, this is not a place to hone your skills, get thee to a track day for that.
And as usual, early AM and late afternoon, I will be on the hill as well, more than likely with Ian from Redline Stands for a bit of R1 knee draggin' action.

I dont think Don is gonna be at the Bash until Friday sometime but I have seen him in a Volunteer shirt before!A "Don" run? sounds like a "volunteer" to me
Night ride?
Heck no - I'll be hanging by the fire testing the temperature of a cold one!
Almost took out a 300 lb critter with antlers last September in the sunlight. My goal is to be at the top of the skyway at sunset. I do most of my riding at night, so I'm pretty comfortable with it.

One of use will "map" out the ride for the others BusaWhipped, and Zukracer are both working on this program (I am sort of lost on routes for all this and just helping doing maps etc as I get the route info)
You are needed for fire pit duty anyway....Ran the Dragon once at night, and that was enough for me, Dudes!
I had to try and keep up with Doyle last year when we rolled in late.... never had so much fun being scared in my life... figured I could keep up the old guy but let me tell you something.......

No rain immediately prior to the ride
nice and slow around the "slide" area adjacent to Tapoco Lodge
Ok. I had to replot it since it must have been on my laptop that went belly up. Comes out to ~350 miles from Philips back to Philips.I'm interested
300 miles of heaven
There are a few variations of this loop that you can use to shorten/lengthen the trip and still be on some awesome roads.
Your on buddy! I'm sure the rest of the clan will be up for it. On the way down in 06, we were riding in the mountains in Kentucky at 1:00 AM. Other than freezing my rear off it was fun. Chris and Omar were making fun of me and Doyle when we made a stop at some pancake house. We were both shivering all the way through the meal. Of course Chris and Omar were in the truck pulling the trailer while the old guys were riding!Hal, I am up for a night ride with ya, if you're game, provided:AM -->
