So Ed fly's to NC and picks up his Busa....and shows whatta squid he is

Anybody know who Ed is?:lol:

Congrats RACER X

THAT'S "RACER X ??!!??!!" Get the fuck out of here!:lol:

So did he drive it home or what?

Sandles and all! :lol

def. didn't fit my minds caricature of him.... :lol:


congrats! good looking bike!

Yep....he's in deals gap about now


Yeah I made sure he had those of for the pick :lol:

Congrats on the new wheels Ed.

LOL @ the Oddjob 007 pic, here is a better one, since he got a new bike, and the fact that Ed has so many haters hahaha

Nice...

And yeah, in agreement. Not what I pictured for Racer X.

Yayyyyyyyyyy, congrats Ed!!!!!!

Congrats Ed!!

Oh, now I Rearry want to know what y'all DID have pictured for Ed.

:lol:

Thin, athletic, track jockey, never rides without gear, white, sub-6' tall, HUGE HALO, etc...:lol:

<--- right here :D

Yep! Except, I'm a half breed, and I don't always wear gear, and hmmm.... nope not me! :(

No wonder nobody got my Oddjob reference back in Feb! You guys didnt know what Ed looked like!:lol:

what is a huge halo?

snort

Me too!! Most definitely not what I pictured...

Halo as in referring to his saintliness as in he knows all...(im ASSuming)

Exactly! Isn't he the MSF/Gear Nazi/all new riders must start on a 250 guy? :lol:

even tho I believe he started on a vfr :lol:

Ur not small anymore mutherfucker.

You are correct. See an 800cc starter bike is OK for Ed because he is amazing in every way, but all us mere mortals must not go over 250ccs EVER or we will all be killed instantly. ;)

Nice wheels. If j weren't so broke, I'd be looking at getting one myself.

Well congrats Ed you are going to love that 2nd gen bike

How come mine doesn't look that small?

redflip

First things first, get rid of that piece holding the license plate. In the last pic it looks like the bike is taking a dump.

Just go to Home Depot and get some L brackets.

He can just use the brackets from the rear reflectors, if they came with the bike.

schweet new ride. congrats man

good stuff

got home about 5:45 local time


1381mi in 2 days
17 hrs in the saddle the fist day cuz of getting lost
riding in the rain for hours sucks
can't feel my right thumb
bike is AWESOME
got lost in East TENN, but it was great riding
40N into tenn is crazy 3 lane frwy, winding thru the mt. and people going 60-70mph thru these huge sweepers...........WOW
tail of the dragon was cool
but the skyway was bettter IMO

sun morn.

gas stop and who knows where.......lol

40-45mpg, but w/ only a ~4 gal tank, stopped alot.

http://i26.tinypic.com/ing614.jpg

Yeah, your bike is more suited to the Skyway. The little 600s and motards like the gap better.

i think motard would be the only way togo on the dargon

and to add, only riding i've been doing lately is straight line commuting, so the dragon was a lil intimidating to say the least. let alone add in elevation changes which we don't have down here lol

Glad you made it home safe and sound!

Thanks for the updates...after the week I've had, I sweat when I hadn't heard from you.

But like I said...had I NOT had that week I would have lead you thru the gap, then headed home afterwards. But glad you made it thru depite the hiccup.

yeah, i updated you as much as i could........lol

though getting lost was kinda fun, it did add about 3-4hrs to my first day lol

another epic road trip for me

Ick, that rains looks like it made for a crappy run. Hope ya had rain gear, and congrats!

nope no rain gear........to much hassle.......

funny that's usually my take it on rain gear as well. LOL

awesome looking bike. sounds like a great trip overall.

congrats.

yeah, dunno if i'd do it again in 2 days........lol

3 would been nice.

:lol: I HATE being wet, its never too much hassle for me to carry rain gear. Then again, I overpack for EVERY contingency...just ask Ebbs!

troy kept wanting me to take his bigger tank bag..........lol

i ended up stuffing 2 shirts in the tail storage area, gave me alot more room in the tank bag.....lol

Yay for new bikes!!

Congrats Ed....apparently you should have hired a young white guy to stand in for you in these pics so you can further confuse everyone that has never met you. :lol:

One with a clear map top PRE-loaded with maps from WS to Asheville, then a big blow up OF Asheville, then a blow up from Asheville to the gap, then a big blow-up of the gap & skway, then a blowup of FROM the skyway to the hiway, then a general map from Tenn to Houston.....all ready to pull out while riding....

But NNNNOOOOOO you had to pass :lala:

:lol:

shit Troy, if I'm ever passing through picking up a bike you'll be the first person I call :lol:

:lol

yeah but that trip up 40 was nice.....i prolly prefered that over the dragon....but i like the skyway as much........

dragon was un-nerving for a flat lander like me.......plus i had a motard passing, coming at me, in my lane......he was taking the inside line passing some bikes.

i got passed by sportbikes on the skyway, but no cruisers........lol

Should of given you my number and I would of came up to the gap to meet up.

What route did you take from Castertroy's house to the Gap?

lol

i dunno


40N
321
339
411

i think.........

oh yeah, i rode to work today too

so what you're saying is you rode right in line with the cruisers and the sportbikes were flying by you?

:lol just kidding but it was right there for the taking. LOL

i got no shame, i'm a flatlander and commuter.

those corners and stuff were crazy TO ME. if i lived there and rode everyday like that, no biggie

let alone the 900mi i had to ride home to.


Troy, that hump piece we put on, buy sat afternoon, w/ the heat it laid down perfectly.......smooth as glass, couldn't even tell it was there.

sun that piece is gone.........lol

dunno what happened, i'm thinking may have gotten water adn came off........

they are sending me another one.

just giving crap. I'm sure if I went down there now I'd look like a complete tard going through the hills. (although I did make a nice little spark show the other morning with my foot peg)

haven't been down that way in a few years on a bike now. it's time to get back I know that. Wisconsin has very little in the way of good roads to ride.

Is it as fast as the VFR?:?:

just a lil......lol

and yeah, pull your arms out is about right.

Just FYI.....while the gap has more back to back... but the roads 20 miles north of me are just like that...hence WHY I have the motard

Theres a lot of roads around the gap that are the same way. The gap just has an interesting feel to it and the road is well maintained. If you didn't have the crowd there, only having parson's branch as the only road entering makes for a nice setting. Thats one reason I hate 421, too many side roads.

You're not kidding!! Holy crap my head went into overdrive riding 421.... like lines on the pavement and cars out there with me weren't enough :lol:

Glad you made it home safe Ed, congrats on the new ride again.

Not what I pictured either...part of what makes the internet so interesting though. :lol:

Nice bike and crazy long maiden voyage...cool for making it back with little to no issues.:dthumb:

were you expecting a white boy too? lol

i call myself a coconut........brown on the outside, white on the inside, since i grew up in the US (TX really) all my friends are whiteys, no asians friends really.....:lol

Honestly yes...but you could still have swung by the house if you were coming my way. :lol:

One of my next door neighbors is black and has nicer stuff than me so...:idk:. :lol

whats black got to do w/ anything, i'm asian.......lol

What's the world coming to when a negro can have nicer stuff than a white man?!?!?:lol: I tell ya, it just ain't right!!!:lol:

I thought you called yourself that because you are short, brown, round and hairy. :idk:

No kidding and even a black president !! :lol: I want my 40 acres now !! :lol

That's makes you a banana btw...:lol: Don't worry about it, it's the "Obama Effect!". It's affecting all the white boys here....:lol:

See? The "Obama Effect" in full measure!:lol: We were totally talking about Asians and it came around to Obama!:lol:

those fit the bill too! :lol

except i'm 1 dark asian..........hence coconut.......lol

Hmmm... I retract my banana comment... a coconut does make better sense.:lol: Or a vanilla Moon-pie....

Oh crap...don't have any Asian neighbors...can't come by then. :dvrofl:

Who said I'm white ? :lol

damm messicans........kekeke

:rofl::rofl: :cheers:

Ok I deserved that one !!


Yep I'm white but was just asking. :lol:

I've seen pics dum dum!:lol:
