2009 FZ6RC Dragons Tail Meet

[necrotimus]

I made it home last night around 5:30. Sorry for not posting up but I was wasted and hadn't seen my wife in a while . LOL I took a shower and she goes what is a matter with your ass? hahaha I had a case of the monkey butt for sure! I guess almost 1800 miles in 6 days will do that too you.


Thanks to everyone who made it happen and a big :thumbup: to everyone who helped me increase my riding knowledge and skills either through leading rides or just talking bikes. If anyone ever have a chance to eat at Steve's I highly recommend it.

Well I see that the big benefit of being a slower rider is you get the best spot for group photos

In a few days I will get my few pics posted and the video I took riding into and through the mist Friday evening when we went to the top. All the rest get pretty repetative.

You did get an awesome spot for the picture. Brian dropped me off about 4 miles from the house Monday. I just called this small shop by my house and he has the Michelin Pilot Roads for 350 installed in stock I'll take it by on Friday. Rode my scooter to work today at least it's on 2 wheels.

Dominic's mostly OK

I just talked to his Mom. He went to the hospital immediately after his airplane ride home Sunday and was admitted with a wrist broken in three places along with two broken ribs. He's back home now, so I imagine he'll be posting soon.

Holy hell man!!!

Something is just not right with a guy that refuses to go the the hospital with injuries that severe.

 

[mkjeld76]

He wasn't feeling no pain

Yes, he swerved to avoid a dog in the middle of a sorta tight curve. As I said earlier, I'm sure he'll be posting soon, so I'll leave it to him for more details.

Yeah I thought about doing the whole flipped shifter thing lol

Yeah the bike runs great. I honestly would not even know if the plastic wasn't messed up. As I found out this weekend it needs new tires really bad.

Yes old worn out tires can kill you. Please read this link man. I am pretty obsessive about tires. It drives the people I work with crazy, then again I sell more tires than the other two guys put together.

Please save this link, and take the time to read it. Every action you will ever take on a motorcycle is transmitted thru two tiny patches of rubber. They have to be absolutely perfect for us to have our best chance of returning home.

Its 70 pages and will help you to have a much lower chance of this happening in the future. It may also save a friends life one day.

Sorry for the rant, but this is a issue near and dear to my heart.
