Nah. I think it's just because you've been thinking about it alot.

I hope so, it was really weird. You were in it, but totally clothed. Not cool.

:lol:

I had a weird dream about the rally a few nights ago too. Tommy was trying to scare me with needles. I woke up thinking, "wtf was that about?" :lol:

Nah- I'm sure plenty of bizarre stuff will happen anyway :dthumb:

we can def see to that :lol:

Tom

If it doesnt, than it isnt a true TWFix gathering. No less than 2 people must walk way with injuries, bumps and bruises. And several others will suffer some type of emotional scarring.


bwahahahahahaha...

Derfs bringing a ball gag so I am sure some deep emotional scars will occur after that weekend :lol:

Tom

That settles it, I'm bringing my knives. And a gun. Again.



:lol:

Again? Damn. :lol:

and how did those work out for you at the last rally's and indy? :lol:

Mine are bigger.

you think?! I have aspirations to be the next lara croft. Big guns and bigger knives...:lol:

You laugh, but in the movie Tomb Raider Angelina Jolie carried two HK USP compacts in 40S&W. I have an HK USP .45 fullsize. And my knives are bigger, end of story.

Croft never really uses big guns, or knives and you are too short to make some of those jumps and cliffs you have to be able to reach in the game. :lol: You would be no fun trying to play tomb raider as the char. Unless you are talking about the stupid fucking Angelina Jolie character, I reject her as ever being Lara Croft. Jolie is played out and has been that way for a long time, like since she fucked billy bob.

Fuck her...

Now you with the short jokes? *sigh* I loved the video game, but I did suck at it...:panic:

Coolio. I can make it to that. But being so close I'll crash at my home about an hour away.

Wolf Pen Gap is cool but very pourus pavement. I like it cause I love it when my bike slips. Blood mountain is a race track quality road. But lot's of squids and cops. Just wait for a group of tank tops and flip flops to roll by on Litres from the hikers store at the Appalachian trail. Give it 5minutes and they'll keep the USFS occupied. GA60 is cool but the tar snakes they threw down aren't so great. But they have repaved GA60 north of TWO and that is sweet as hell. Low on cops there too.

Richard Russel is pretty cool and low on cops. GA75 north of Helen is money and switchback heaven! Helen for those who don't know is a giant fake german town that is a big tourist trap. But they have put-put, carnivals, and taverns. Including a biker specific bar. Then there are a lot of hidden roads that I don't even know about that are cop free and better than the Gap.

Cool. I got you down as attending. :dthumb:

:D :D

Whos going to the gap that monday? I found out I have more vacation time than I thought so I may take a few extra days off, god knows i earned them.

Tom

Most of us are. I thought you already said you were going to make a pass or two through there? Eric and I are thinking maybe those of us who want to ride the Gap may want to leave TWO Sunday and make our way closer. TWO is about 2 hours or so away from the Gap. We could also ride the Cherohala Skyway on our way there. If we rent rooms a little closer to the Gap, we'd be able to ride it more on Monday. Whatcha think? We were just dicussing this last night and haven't actually brought up the idea to anyone just yet.

BTW, for Cherohala info, go here: http://www.cherohala.com/

Now I am thinking of not heading back to ny till tues or wed now so i could ride all day monday, then use late mon and tues as a trvel day or even extend things another day if need be. Figure if I am traveling a million miles might as well make the most of it.

I started attacking the priller today, seems I have a ton of work to still do to get it ready :(

Tom

Yeah...that way you wouldn't be pressed for time, something I need to think about as well. I'd rather play on the Gap Monday and Tuesday make my way back home, but this is dependent upon what Amorok and some others are doing too since I'll be riding with them.

What do you have to do to the priller? I still have some stuff I need to do to mine...gotta change the oil soon, I have to replace the front break reservoir (I have it, just got to get some brake fluid), change the tires, and flush the radiator...it's never been done that I'm aware of.

Where to start, I am replacing both foot levers, and the right side mirror from the accident. The bike needs a good cleaning theres a lot of dirt/mud built up from the damn construction site in there i need to clean out. Then a good once over to make sure its up for a potential 3k mile trip.

I wanna see if I can twist derf or sixxers arms to stretch it out so I am not riding the whole way back solo. Did that onece from the gap and it was not fun.

Tom

Hmmm...dunno about Sixxxer but you may be able to talk Def into it...depending upon how long the military is willing to let him go. There may be another one or two from up that way coming too. I'm waiting to hear back if it's definite or not. I'd tell you but I'm scared I'd jinx their chances of coming. :lol:

And that's May 9-11 (Or in the weekend of)? I have a Triathlon on Jekyll Island on the 16th of May.

Yeah..there about. ;) 8th-10th. Some are coming early...some staying later. It's all about what you can do. :)

I might be able to, but I think sixxxer is heading over to Myrtle Beach for bike week, then hitching a ride home. I was asked if I wanted to meet up with some friends there, and I have been contemplating it, so I don't know if I will be riding back home until the sunday after anyway.

I'm taking the whole week after the rally off, so I might just stay in Tennessee and north GA the whole week hitting nice roads. My schedule is open, whatever you guys want to do.

I feel like I'm just along for the ride so I'll be doing pretty much what everyone else is doing. Within reason, of course. :lol:

Well, looks like we're hitting the Gap and some other nice roads afterwards. Sounds like a plan. Hopefully Ebbs can get enough time off to do it all with us, or else I'm going to have mine and Rogue's shit packed on my bike on the way back.

I should be able to pack and carry everything I need on my bike. I may need to wash at one point though. I'll make more definite packing plans when the date gets closer.

Two more months to go! WooT!!!! :rockwoot:

Please Rogue. You're a girl, there's no way you can live out of a backpack for a week, even with a full-service dry-cleaner in the room. I have lots of cargo room, don't worry about it. Ebbs, if you ride I can carry a small bag for all three of us if needed.

I better buy more bungies.

Four days of clothes plus stuff to go out in...and had room for stuff Moira gave me :D

if I ride... I'll bring my bags... as you saw Amorok... I've got enough room for anything I might need....

:x:

it's not work'n?

I can't see it. When I right click--properties--copy/paste the link in the address bar, it tells me the link is broken. :idk:

better?http://www.smugmug.com/photos/381833176_STXDD-M-1.jpg

Holy hell you have that bike loaded down! How much different was the handling with all the added weight?

Well we call him Senior Loopy because he did an "accidental" wheelie and destroyed that bike on the way home....

Accidental wheelies do happen. :whistle:

Sucks the bike was destroyed in the process.

To be honest,I don't remember if he had all that stuff on there or not at the time.

Just wondering, all you local folks are you staying at the lodge or just gonna come and hang out each day? Cuz the whole point of the weekend is to have crazy shananigans for 4 days straight

Oh there will be shennanigans :lol:

tom

Not from me!

I'm I-N-N-O-C-E-N-T damnit! :angel:

Oh yes there will be, if all goes according to plan I will be at the center of many shennanigans



yeh you will be the focus of many shennanigans

Careful your planning doesn't backfire on you :whistle:

Backfire?

Yeah especially in twisties..... :lol:

:lol: yup... I've wondered what would have happened had I not had the bags on... I've launched that bike pretty hard more than a few times... and the front would come up... but only like a foot or so... and not nearly as fast...

but I did "pop" the clutch when it slipped out of my hand so I'd have probably done the same.... though the bags made it worse as they held me on the bike rather than slipping back...
yeah... but ya live and learn... I just gotta make sure I don't loose focus... and reduce my daily miles... besides about 70% of my trip was super slab... fuck that never again... I wanna do all my trips with the minimum amount of freeway I can.

I plan on staying at the lodge, or wherever the majority of people are staying. We're riding during the day but at night I plan on getting drunk and doing retarded things, and I can't ride anywhere. So I'll be staying wherever I plan on passing out.

Ebbs, I'm all for not riding the slab. We should go meet Rogue in Monroe and take Natchez Trace over to shitville. That'll make the trip take longer, the speed limit is low on that road, but its scenic.

Rogue, if you need extra room, Ebbs and I have you covered. I refuse to believe a girl can pack that lightly. I'm prepared to be further amazed by you, however.

if we avoid slabs from NY/NJ it will take a week to get there :lol:

Tom

I think Im offended by that statement.

:lol:

Its amazing what we ladies can do in regards to packing light, and biker chicks are pros at minimizing what we need. Pffft. Silly boys.

And tiny women need MUCH less room than you ginormous behemoths with your jeans that are as tall and wider than we are.

Could you please talk to my fiancee, we go away for a track weekend and she brings like 5 pairs of shoes:idk:

Tom

Hey, I'm not that much taller than you, kid. I probably outweigh you by 50 pounds or so, but I don't need much room either. Its Ebbs that needs all that room. Geeky Giant.

REALLY? Dayum! I get irritated if I have to take more than one pair. Since I started riding I really learned to take only the necessities. The indy trip was my one exception, I was loaded for bear, but I needed enough for a full week, plus my techology. I go nowhere without my laptop. :idk:

:lol: He DEF takes up some room! Other than my laptop, I can fit everything I need with spare room in my luggage on the bike, and my bags are tiny compared to his!

oh really? I seem to remember your bags being as packed as mine were... my trip was 4000 miles and 18 days... yours... 1500 and 5 days... :lol:

I will say most real "women bikers" tend to not be so girly and need 3 suitcases for an overnighter :whistle:

One days worth of my clothes probably take up as much room as 3 days of Rogue's :lol:

The more I think about it, moving to a hotel near Deal's Gap for Sunday night and getting an early start on riding the road sounds better to me.

Yeah, that could work. I think I'll bring my laptop (if Ulu lets me) so we'll have internet if there's cell coverage. As for clothes, two pairs of pants, ten shirts, and enough underwear and socks for a week. That's it. I can usually make it on an alice bag or less.

WTF? Why do you need ten shirts for a week?

The guy sweats A LOT!!!!

Plus he makes a mess everywhere he goes. You cant take him anywhere

I can get kind of sweaty, and I always seem to get stuff on me, so I bring spares.

:lol

I figure 5-6 days, I might bring 2-3 shirts, and a pair of pants/shorts. Whatever else (socks, etc.) will cram into corners. Not quite as bad as Ebbs and his one green TWFix shirt :whistle:

HAHAHAHA!!!! Good one! Booyah,in your face Ebbs you bastich!!!

:lol: funny thing is I have like 8 of those shirts... But the green one is a camera slut.

Yea I had an ex like that....hey!

I really do wish we'd taken a picture the other week so there could've been one more with the green shirt :lol:
