Headed up Knoxville way on Aug. 14 and hope to hit the dragon for a few days. *Anyone going to be in the area and want to get together?

For a few days!? You ever been there?

Only reason I ask is, I ran the sonofagun up and back twice and was pert near spent for the day as far as really aggressive riding goes. Pretty draining, physically and mentally, to go fast on the Dragon, IMO.

Blue Ridge Parkway is a vastly better sportbiking road. Much longer, prettier scenery, less traffic and easier overtaking when traffic is in fact heavier. Have fun though. It's a neat place.

Yeh, I've been there 3-4 times. *We normally ride one full day, making passes up and down the dragon, maybe a trip down the skyway. *Sunday is usually a half day of riding before we head back to memphis.

Hope the weather is a little better this go-round. *Got rained on a good bit last time up. *

Re: Headed to the Gap on Aug. 15th

Enjoyed the hell out of this weekend. *Sorry I didn't meet you guys for dinner. *My uncle had the grill fired up when I got back. *Came out Sunday morning and made a few more passes before going home. *

Saw the pictures from Killboy. *He's right, he can make anybody look fast! *I'll go brokes buying all those pictures.

Hope everything goes well with the new baby in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again. *
ps. *Tell Lori she still owes me an autograph.
