Title: Back from Deal's Gap GS500 Rally (pics)
Post by: oramac on June 11, 2006, 09:26:17 PM
Hey all.  Well, I'm home from the Gap.  I met up on Saturday with Alphafire, thatguy, rangerbrown, and ashman.  We all rode the Cherohala Skyway, and thatguy and I rode the tail.  The run sucked 'cause we got stuck behind a pickup truck and four or five honda s2000s.  We only got to wind it up for a short time and I was creapin' when we came up to killboy.  That shot's gonna suck.  Ah well.  We did run into one of the other killboy photogs on the Cherohala, and we talked him into taking some pics (stationary unfortunately).  They should be up soon.  Ranger tried to get some video of us riding.  I won't even talk about his camera mount  :laugh:.  We'll we how it turned out soon hopefully. 
To those of you that made it; it was good to meet / ride with you all.  :cheers:  To those of you that didn't; BE THERE NEXT YEAR!!  :flipoff:

Rode with the FZ1 guys on Friday and went to this place called the Road to Nowhere. It's literaly that. It ends in some metal pylons kinda abruptly, but there is enough room for a bike to fit through. You cross the pylons, then go through this long tunnel and it opens up into this beautifully secluded area:

The whole time I was there I didn't see that many SVs actually. I saw a few groups of them on Thursday evening and one small group of SV1000s on Friday morning, but aside from that I never saw any large groups.

Naaah, that's scuffing. It's highly unlikely you'll get those little balls of rubber on these types of tires though. They're just too hard for that sort of stuff.

Nick, was that picture on the Dragon or Cherhola?

:laugh: WTF, we critique eachother's fashion sense now? You are one step from pissing in groups and painting eachother's toenails.  :laugh:

Actually, Rangerbrown should save his money from buying new sunglasses and get himself a nice graphics program to resize those gigantic images  :o

Great video!  :thumb:  I like your riding style (expecially, when behind that pick-up carrying the m/c in the back, near the begining): slow down in the straights, speed up for the corners.  :thumb:  Was that someone we know in front of you?  And, who were you honking at?

Make sure it's a tank mount. Better visibility no matter what. From watching the video, you should look up more.  :icon_razz:

I agree, I'm sure it's not his first bike because of the setup - very rare for a beginner to know what to install.  Hope he was ok too, but it happens.
