Perseverance pays off. Jerry's MV, BRPR 2011.

[Pittsdriverwes]

Speaking of Pirate, does anyone know how he's doing? Did he set up that camp in the Carolinas?

[Loggiebone]

Talked to Pirate some months back. He sold his S and is no longer riding. As I recall his mom was pretty bad so they were planning to move back to Nashville. The business is winding down. Also, Amber has been having some health issues. Ageing ain't for sissies.

There aren't many things I lust after. I'm afraid if I were around this MV very much, I'd really want one. It's just really neat in so many ways . . . appearance being just one. So what if a handful of showroom stock bikes preform better?

[Susan]

That is a fine looking group!

[Loggiebone]

That was a great time. Our first group to Hatfield McCoy. This is where JJ learned his bike would actually go up a hill. LOL! You had to be there.!

[justjoe]

LOL! I was so thrilled going uphill on that paved path, until it turned to dirt! LOL Good times!

[EricM]

Change of plans, will not be attending this year again

[Bmorganjr]

That’s a bummer Eric…..I was looking forward to see u again

[955i]

Well, Bill, at least I'm planning on attending - but, without Cathy. I was looking forward to meeting Eric.

[Loggiebone]

I'm surprised that E Man ain't coming. He seldom passes up a chance to drink USA beer....LOL!

[802Mike]

It doesn't appeal to him anymore.
I tried bribing him with it.

[Rob]

I think I'll post something.

[justjoe]

Did you ever get around to posting something? Asking for a friend.

[Loggiebone]

Well said, Rob! LOL!

[955i]

I HAVE RESERVED A ROOM! My friends will be shocked, shocked I tell you, that I have done this so far in advance. It's a little scary.

[955i]

Yeah, I know. I won't have my pillion on this trip.

[justjoe]

Do "we" even know "you"?

[Susan]

This is going somewhere. Staying tuned.

Since at this year's BRPR will mark Tyson's NC debut, here's a heads-up. Imma still trying to come up with his NC name.

[955i]

I should fit right in. But maybe I move a little too fast to be taken for a native (as opposed to a "Native.")

[Loggiebone]

That works in GA too!

[Riverfurm]

I am working on trying to make the BRPR. I need to see my friends.

[Pittsdriverwes]

A heads up if you haven't been following the news from the incident on Blood Mountain in N. Georgia. A motorcyclist was killed by a car that crossed the centerline last week. I'm being told that in reaction to this incident that the Georgia, Tennessee, and NC law enforcement are out ticketing and impounding bikes for any yellow line infractions and as little as a few miles over the limit.

[955i]

". . . ticketing and impounding bikes for any yellow line infractions and as little as a few miles over the limit."

Will the cops be parking the bikes in the same impound lots that will be necessary to hold all the cars and trucks likewise ticketed?

[802Mike]

Come to Vermont, it’s legal to cross a double yellow line still.
