    Change of plans for me = no Durhamtown trip.

    Getting Richard an new car and we're doing the deal on Friday afternoon so the D-town trip is out for me.

    I may be up for an early morning ride. Where haven't we explored yet Vic?

    That's The Dragon, AKA Deal's Gap. The curviest 11 miles worth of asphalt I've ever seen. Big fun on anything with 2 wheels:thumb

    Even a KLR

    That's a cool little stretch of "hwy" - go there about once every 4 years or so to hang with Dad and trout fish and take das scoot out on the gap to shave down it's center-stand pads. I always wait for a weekday before I run the thing. Be safe manaingo. :deal

    My oldest child is down from NYC this weekend - prolly won't be out riding - but if she heads to p-cola to see her old buddies I may have Sunday clear...

    That was one of the most dangerours inventions ever! I had one too. I learned to just forget it. :topes

    Mini - if you are staying an Navarre you should hook up with WD, WR and Phil who all live very close and meet me for a Ride though the central section. Great fun and but no single track. Yoiur 690 will eat it up. We could make it a two tank ride if all are willing.

    You pic the day! Saturday is good for most.

    Of course all are welcome!!:clap :ricky :beer

    After picking up the KLX today in Tuscaloosa and two trips to the courthouse to give the state of Florida more money than they deserve, there was still some daylight left so I figured I'd initiate the KLX with a little Blackwater mud.

    And while I'm at it, why not get the old cross rut on the center hump and find yourself sliding backwards bending the clutch lever and twisting the stock bars so you can go ahead and order some Renthal's thing out of the way.
