Geesh guys... I really didnt mean to start a pissing competition or offend anyone... I just wanted to show some pics and tell about my weekend trip which was all fun for me. There are as many idiots on bikes as there are in cages, I realize that. I was just stating that I have experience in many avenues on two wheels and that I would consider myself in the category of riding within my limits...

The guy on the yellow wing is amazing, I learned of him a few years ago. I was told he was a local? either way a wing will eat up most v-twin touring bikes on that kind of a road.

I really am sorry I seemed to offend so many...

Please read my above post as an appology. I'm not sure why people would doubt what I say but whatever, I can provide any supporting information you wish.

If you must know I have three beautiful children. A 4 yr old daughter whom I adopted and 2yr old daughter with my wife and a 3month old little boy with my wife who has been diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. Everyday is an uphill battle with the little man, and with three children I rarely get the chance to ride anymore so when I do I try and have fun and just sharing an experience.

It is a blast. I ride a Ultra and scrapped floor boards 7 times also scrapped right side tail pipe a few times. Only thing you have to be careful of are the cages. There was a Nissan rally starting the day we were there and the 4th car up went in to hot and cut right across us in a sharp left hand turn dragging left side floor boards. Luck for him there was a stone wall on my right where he bounced off of or he would of been over the edge. Someday I'll get the video uploaded to you-tube.
