Jake Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Just a short video I finally managed to put together covering my ride up to FART 2015 in Asheville. As always, Ken and Craig put on a first class gathering. Of course, I missed grabbing video of a few prime roads (such as 28 coming out of Deal's Gap), but those are etched in memory anyway, as they should be. I've never seen the Cherohala and the BRP so beautiful (and open) as they were on this trip. Link to comment
Bernie Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Great video and no rain. It was great to finally meet you in person. See you at START 2016. Link to comment
Jake Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Great meeting and dining with you too Bernie. Yeah, the rain soaked footage just didn't quite make the final cut (though I think I shall send it to Glen)! Link to comment
greiffster Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Real nice, Jake. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment
Chris K Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 It was great to see you Jake. Hopefully you will migrate north again in the spring. Link to comment
Jake Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Thanks Boys - I must say after the 12-hour return I was a wee bit jealous of your commute. I did a donut in Shawn's lawn before he got there... Link to comment
roadscholar Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Nice Jake, hey I recognize that curve coming out of Frostproof : ) I did a donut in Shawn's lawn before he got there... I want to see footage of that.. Link to comment
tallman Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Love the roads that take you through the agricultural regions around here. Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah, the rain soaked footage just didn't quite make the final cut (though I think I shall send it to Glen)! Link to comment
beemerboy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks, I really enjoyed the video.....just wish it would have gone on a little longer..... Link to comment
Jake Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Well, I was about to select Mountain Jam from the Allman Brothers as my song choice, but with a 33 minute run time I might have lost a few viewers! Thanks - and a big thanks again to Roadscholar for pointing the way through GA. The man knows his stuff. Link to comment
Slumgullion Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Watching the video gives me the itch to get on the bike! Thanks for nothin' Jake! Link to comment
Limecreek Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 That was fun to watch Jake. Makes me want to travel east. Is that your original R11RT? Looks to be in fine shape if it is. Cheers! Link to comment
Jake Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks for the comments, Gents. Greg, I sold my original '02 after moving to Fl from Chi-Town, missed the RT, then picked up the '00 I have now. Put some love into it so it would love me back. Link to comment
EffBee Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Looks like the Floridian hasn't forgotten how to twist the loud grip. Spirited footage, Jake. Nicely done. Link to comment
roadscholar Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Jake were you able to get by Heavy's? Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Thanks, I really enjoyed the video.....just wish it would have gone on a little longer..... This. That was AWESOME. Had me sitting here grinning from ear to ear for the whole video. Loved the music selection, edits, everything. BRAVO! Curves and lines of Grand Designs Link to comment
Jake Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Well, that's high praise from an afficionado! Thank you my friend. Bill, my target for the return lunch was Fosters on Saturday. As you may know and I now know- they rest on Saturday and cook on Sunday! Oh well, next time. I'll be back on the Airhead to hit some of your recommendations and I believe I shall start with Heavy's... Link to comment
roadscholar Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 An airhead would be right at home in their parking lot. And don't forget Dawn's Pantry in Screven, could be in the running for world's best fried chicken! A little trivia on Heavy''s Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 That was fun to watch Jake. Makes me want to travel east. Is that your original R11RT? Looks to be in fine shape if it is. Cheers! Greg, I'm going over in the spring for the HelenBack event if'n you want to go. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks Boys - I must say after the 12-hour return I was a wee bit jealous of your commute. I did a donut in Shawn's lawn before he got there... Did not... That might have actually helped what I call..... "grass" Awesome compilation my friend. It was really great to see you. Miss both you and Peanut. Link to comment
