Can't tell for sure, but it looks like the front brake lever is not pulled back?

I looked at that as well. For an HD that would make the stand very short and inboard. Usually they sweep out far more than that. I concluded it was the shadow of the highway peg on the left 'crash' bar.

I love this thread.

But I am disappointed.

The wife and I were down riding the Dragon back in June on the Harley, and none of you fuckers failed us and threw us under the bus!

Y'all are losing your touch.

Carry on.

Watch the video. Starting at 6:30.

When you think your job SUCKS just have the voice in your head (that sounds like Mike Rowe) repeat these words:

"Bite 'em. Just bite them off."



Thanks for the laughs. Good talk about work, no matter what type of work it is.

I think that's Tellico Gap, between 28 and Wayah Rd.

This was also in killboy's highlights and it is clearly Tellico Gap:

I concur. Even though it could be anywhere in the southern Appalachians, it looks exactly like Tellico Gap. Much more fun to run east to west (opposite direction of travel in pic) in case anyone is considering it.

That's the one. Been a few years since I've ridden down there. I did it east to west along with some other gravel/dirt roads in that area.

I'll side with you on this. The mother seems like a disgusting pig of a person, the very persona of People of WalMart perhaps. Are the other daughters half-way normal in the head? Probably not as they dont ride
