Fixt.In a Audi? are you kiddin :lol: maaaybe in an R8 off a cliff
No doubt. 30 days of leave was pretty awesome...I didn't realize how good I had it before I retired last year - 30 days a year from day one. Now, starting over, I've got 10. Or rather, will have ten to earn once I'm out of the probationary period...
And your point is.... ???There are other members who are blessed with an unreasonable excessive amount of vacation days (cough - bikergeek - cough) that arrive early, stay later, and travel to other exotic locals.

If the rider groups going out over the weekend are categorized by 'aggressiveness' then I plan to join the spirited group I like the sportier face of my sport-touring FJR
"Spirited" is relative...it all depends on who yer talkin to...I'm sure that you will be able to find a group that is "spirited" enough for ya...just sayinIf the rider groups going out over the weekend are categorized by 'aggressiveness' then I plan to join the spirited group I like the sportier face of my sport-touring FJR
Amen.We'll talk about this more as the time approaches, but the most important thing to remember is to ride your own ride. There will always be someone slower, and someone faster, and the only thing that matters is that everyone makes it home in one piece...
I will get a special front plate for the event that says "get the fuck out of the way"...in chinese of course ]...:fuck: I'm going to get a sticker for my Givi that says "Follow at your own risk"

Case in point: At the first campout, Wheatness, Griff, Moosehead, Huron and FJRRob found ourselves on some *KICKASS* roads in the TN high country. I'm not sure who was leading, probably Moosehead, then Griff I think, then Wheatness, then me followed by FJRRob and Huron. The 3 lead guys were running at a pace. I'd never been down this road before, and I trust these guys not to turn off anywhere without waiting. So I let them run on up ahead.Amen.We'll talk about this more as the time approaches, but the most important thing to remember is to ride your own ride.

I could've kept up, but an unknown road, a 1000 miles from home, in a different country is not the time to let my inner hoon loose.
No big whoop. It's expected. Ride your own ride dammit!

roger that....I always ride according to what Clint Eastwood once shared when he said "A man's got to know his limitations". I am not interested in knee scraping, or bike scraping for that matter. On the other end of the spectrum though, I went on a bike trip a year or two ago, and we had that 'one guy' who consistenly rode 10mph less than posted limit....ugh....long week- it was....
quite honestly, any time, and any reasonable speed on those roads out in NC/TN is time well spent!!!
