[QUOTE="FJRBandit, post: 1345636, member: 17365"] Nice video Doug! For those that aren't aware, that road is a scenic byway that runs approximately 40 miles along a ridgeline from Cheaha State Park to Heflin, AL. The pavement was redone in the past six months or so and was in about as perfect condition as pavement can be. While there really isn't much in the way of technical twisties, the road can get a little complicated the more you twist the throttle. I've heard more than one person in my life refer to that road as being built for the FJR - or vice versus. We had run it up to Heflin for lunch and back the day before, so most everyone had a chance to get comfortable on it prior to this run. Then on Saturday, Pants led the way and as you can see about mid-way through the second video the entire group pulled away from the stop sign at the end of the run within about 20 seconds of Doug pulling up to stop. A local buddy of mine who is one of the finest riders I know was at the tail end of that run. He commented to me later on just how impressed he was with our group and their riding prowess. Especially at just how smooth the entire group was running at the speeds we were running down AL 281. It was a beautiful thing for sure! Thanks for capturing a slice of that for us Doug! [/QUOTE]
