I took a dragva member out there a few months later and went down in the same one... it is a tricky one on a bike because its a partially blind decreasing radius so your speed going in is fine but once you get mid turn it can be, or atleast seem, too fast to make it, and the fact that theres a grassy bit of "run off" on the outside of the turn makes you want to stand the bike up and run off the road if you get in hot
do you know Dave by chance, has a silver honda blackbird, lives probably 15 minutes on route 14 further towards 360

I really really wish i had a camera that night... there were 2 other people with me and we were all dumbfounded at what had just happened... good times.

HAHAHAHA!!! That shit was sooo funny! For a second we thought the guy was gonna stop... But he just kept going... It was great. That really kinda helped the night a little. Being stuck on top of the mountain at midnight for an hour or 2 was a little...uhhh... something. At least we got her home ok though. Big thanx to Marshall for coming up to help us out. It's a good thing I ended up going that night or you woulda been screwed... (no cell service). HEHE... Fun Times Bro!

But yes I am, I've been needlessly busy with school lately. I've still got my bike but I don't have much time to ride. Living on campus in here in richmond and haiving the bike at home means no riding time. I wanna get back into riding some more this summer while I'm home. Are you still at Ken's? I need to come in soon and order a new front tire.
