Medic Mike Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 So.... a funny thing happened on the way off the BRP onto NC18. The white car rear ended the Tahoe that had a dirtbike on the back. Needless to say, the dirt bike was so happy to finally make human contact again, due its extreme loneliness that it burst into flames in gratitude. No one was hurt. That was about a 45 minutes of my day just getting that scene under control before the FD arrived and id what they do best. Put wet stuff on hot stuff. 3 Link to comment

Does anybody know where that was? I want to see if I can find my photo. It may take me a while to look up my track on the GPS, which will wait until after I get home. Thanks in advance.

I had found the website and did not remember the time frame so I looked through all the photos for that day and did not see a Mars Red RT. They must of added some more after I looked, or I looked in the wrong place. Oh, if anyone needs any then let me know. I can do an autograph session at FART. 1 Link to comment

It's called the 1927 Lake Lure Resort and Spa. Not as fancy as the name suggests but was a nice place and an even nicer surprise was at the very nice bar they had $3 bottled beers and a great half pound burger for $10! Sweet! Lake Lure is about 25 miles east of Hendersonville and about 20 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. 1 Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 From the Abingdon ride along 421 The Snake. Thanks to all who assisted me in finding the photographer. Also, does anyone from that group ride know the spot where we stopped for a few minutes at that place where "this is the first time we ever stopped during one of our rides?" It was at the top of the hill, just after one of the riders passed that slow hay roll truck. Agian, thanks. I am still try to soak it all in; the ride was great and a blur to me. HA 4 Link to comment

RandyShields Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 You must reinforce the bottom of that container or, after additional turns and scrapes, the contents will spill out all over the road harming the indigenous wildlife. You don't want the local park rangers searching you down. 1 Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Speaking of Bernie - Here's a clip from the Cherohala Skyway. Bernie does a nice job of demonstrating Ride SMART, notice the upper body lean (Kiss The Mirrors), yet keeping his head level with the road. By way of contrast (and for demonstration purposes only COUGH COUGH COUGH), the rider following Bernie isn't Riding SMART. @wbw6cos you may enjoy the music mix.
