trip this week, need advise......
A club member and I are going to take a 5 day trip up to Deals Gap and areas around there. We're both close to our 50's, I won't tell ya which side. Anyway, I'm gonna be on my Ultra, and he'll be riding his new, uh humm, Wing. Now I sold my Wing to get my Ultra, and I love it.
I let him plan the trip, no time schedules. I'm really looking forward to just riding and letting his GPS do the work. It's gonna be fun. Some camping, some hotels, lots of site seeing.
Do ya'll think we'll get along, or maybe we'll be throwing down at a rest stop?
I just wanted to throw this out at ya, I'm just excited about going. Wish all ya'll could come too. Ya'll be safe. This is my first vacation since last year, can you tell I'm pumped about it?

What you throwing down at a rest stop?
If you know this person....I hope you know how he rides.
So what if he has a Goldwing. I do too. I rode my Fatboy to Magee
in July and chatted with quite a few Goldwing owners.
If this other person is a friend.......have fun. If you just met them.....
you may or may not get along. I wouldn't go with a person unless I knew how
they behaved and rode. If they like riding 85 MPH and you like to cruise 65......
no sense getting started.
Want to see a Goldwing in action? Check out a guy on-line named Yellow Wolf...
he rides the Dragon about 210 times a year. He was recently featured in one of the
"Ride like a Pro" videos.

Naw, we know each other pretty well. I just think it's gonna be neat to go on a trip together for 5 days and really be able to sort out the bikes and styles.
We'll probably even be trading rides off a couple of times. He's a good rider. We'll have some good hearted fun I know. But, I won't be trying to keep up with him in the twistie's, I did own a Wing once.

I tell you what, we are so compatable when we are on the road,,

Its hard to find a riding partner like that.
if you two are on the same page as I mentioned,, youll have a grand ol time.
if your night,hes day, your hot,, hes cold,,, better think twice

Careful on the Dragon, Tennessee Highway patrol has been cracking down hard the last month or so. Tickets for so many stupid things that its no longer funny. They have ticketed for crossing the yellow line, and all the while, they are filmed crossing it. Best advise, take it easy, stay with the speed limit, and make sure you have glasses ect.. and your helmet on. Its a great ride, but the crackdown is getting to alot of folks down there.

All advise well taken, ElectraRick, your too funny. I know we'll have a blast. If they stop me on the Dragon, if we go there, they better have a good reason, because I'm gonna do my best not to give 'em one.

Just beat the crap out of him BEFORE you leave, just to set the mood. Ya'll will both ride the same road, in the same elements, up the same hills, but remember, YOU get to do it on a Harley. He'll be watching and wishing.
Ride safe.[8D]
