Nope hahahaa this one might be a keeper. WOW could that woman ride 2 up. Best I ever had on the back of my bike and fearless. Laugh the entire time even when I went into a curve that I expected to be a C curve that was really a U shaped curve. I went into it at 30 to 35 which honestly for that curve was way to fast due to the sharpness and angle because of unexpecting it to be a U curve. On top of that it was going up the mountain at a rather steep angle. I ended up forcing the bike to break quick by going from 3rd to 1st to break and keep torque up. It had me concerned she was just laughing her butt off hahahaaa. Crazzyyyy I tell ya. The two guys I was with was like WOW she is the greatest.

When I go there again I will get the numbers for you. I just drove where she told me. It was around the mountain side of Highway 52 of the NC VA linesI do know that. The NC only side was some back roads near Hanging rock and Mount Airy I never traveled before. I though I knew that area but apparently I was wrong and so were the guys I was with. They were shocked they didnt know the back roads she took us on since they travel that area a lot they said.

There was this mountain man that lived on the VA sidethat drove up to this store we were at riding a 2005 Police Model HD. It was a nice looking bike. I looked at his back tire and it looked like he had done some burn outs. He was an older gentleman much older than me I am 40. He told me, No thats the mountain that did that. I have never spent a wheel on this bike. That mountain you just came up will make your tire look this way. I just bought two new ones I plan to put on it next week. I swear it looked just like he had burned it out. I believe the guy. He didnt look like a burn out king. That was the road with two mean U shaped curves that sneaked up on me since I didnt know the area. It was really fun even though they surprised me. The guys riding with us loved it. They are demanding a second ride with her directing ahhahaa.
