Sure glad I don't hang out with the FZ guys
« on: June 18, 2009, 08:39:46 PM »

Last weekend was the Deals Gap weekend for the FZ riders.  :bikerider: Three wrecks right off the bat and two more on big wheels. One of the big wheel riders broke his ankle and the other broke a leg and some ribs! :ohwow: Sounds like fun! :t

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

My brother in law lives in N. Georgia and says that he will only go to Deal's with me on a weekday. He says that on the weekends it gets so dangerous from all the "idiots"  :ohwow: flying past you that it is not enjoyable. I told him that if he would just ride faster he wouldn't get passed as much. But on second thoughts..........he is riding a Hurly.  :stickpoke:

It's less than 2 hours from my home in Chattanooga and beware......on the weekdays the tractor trailers use it!!!!!!!! Trust me, in the 318 curves in that 11 mile stretch, there isn't a sigle one of them that they can take with out absolutely taking the whole road! FWIW.

Yes we ran into that last year on our July Trip. Thankfully there was a bike coming through warning everyone!  :thatwasclose:

I am taking a road trip on my X next weekend to visit family in Tullahoma, Tennessee.
Mapquest says Deal's Gap is just over 200 miles away, so I am going to pay a visit while there.
Hope to get a T-Shirt and a pin for my vest. LOL

\"The moment you taste it, something wet and dark leaps on you and starts humping you like a swamp dog in heat, and the only way to get it off you is to eat it off, It\'s Gumbo!! If you don\'t eat it then the mystery beast will go right on humping you.
