Mountain Run - Oct. 30th

speedminded · Post by **speedminded** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 11:45 am

Hello all, it's been awhile...

Time: Sunday, October 30th - 10:00am
Location: Home Depot - Hwy. 400 N. across from the Premium Outlet Mall in Dawson Co.

Meeting at Home Depot @ 10am or so and heading north at 10:30. Plan to cookout at the usual location, Vogel State Park, intersection of Hwy. 180 & 129 N.

Intend to stay in the Hwy. 60-180-129-348/Richard B. Russel-75 area but we'll discuss the route once we meet and I have credit card sized maps printed with all the roads and general landmarks labeled just in-case anyone gets seperated...we normally make several stops to re-group anyways: couple gas stations, major interesections, etc. Goood times, just starting saving up for gas money now...

For you importatlanta members you can post in the thread under the Events section or once I make the list of things needed you can tell me what you'd like to bring on DM and i'll add your name to the list on IA.

i should be there depending on whether the drift event on the 29th happens or not...

any other griptechnicians down? i'll take the bike for sure because it's a great time of year to suit up and head out, and cookouts at vogel are the bomb diggity

. just don't let me near the lighter fluid

gripTechnician reporting for duty. i'm down, unless there is something i had planned that i forgot about, but as far as i know my schedule is free and clear. the weather should be awesome, and hopefully i will have gotten my license tag crap worked out by then

, i keep looking at my back tire and the big chicken tenders back there make me sad.

hey chris will the buell have 1000 miles and be ready for action? please say yes.

. i really really want one of those now for a 2nd bike, it's just plain fun to ride.

i'll 2nd the SV as a great bike. mine was a blast to ride. when we went up to the mountains before i was missing it because on the gixxer i don't really get to use it to its full potential, and i don't think i ever will because when its reallly being thrashed i'd be going faster than i think i want. the SV however i got to really thrash it trying to keep up with (sometimes them trying to keep up with me) my buddies on R1's. oh how fun it is to be hauling ass around a long sweeper and realize you can't go faster cause you ran out of revs, and having to keep in mind you have to keep up your momentum around corners due to having a lot less power. sigh. plus its fun to keep up with and sometimes go faster than bikes that are a whole lot more better equipped with a lot more horsepower.

i didn't get it, little brother picked it up. 01 SVS with 8400mi, been dropped on left side but not crashed (little scratches, that's all). bike is super clean other than the left side stuff and runs like a champ, and picked it up w/2 helmets for $3k. damn good deal IMO.

on a funnier note, his FOERST attempt at riding it he was sitting with it sideways in the driveway. he went to take off, he revved it way too much and as i cringed at the thought of the oncoming carnage he dropped the clutch made half the turn to go up the driveway, went through the flower bed, jumped a mound and nearly hit my girlfriend's car

. then he realized how different a streetbike is from a dirtbike and figured it out a little better. hopefully that's the end of his landscaping career

I'd love to go... but the e46 is louder than gawd right now, and would prolly land ALL of us in jail. I need to get a street exhaust situated for her.

Ya'll have fun though!!!

1,000 miles? Try 2,000! And I cooked my chicken strips on the dragon's tail. I however will be MIA. I will be at Deal's gap all next weekend and I'm working Saturday so I have to take care of some family/house stuff Sunday. You guys have fun and be safe though.
