kbran Posted October 29, 2011 #1 Posted October 29, 2011 Boomer and I are fixing to be heading out shortly for Blairsville, Ga. We'll be riding the Dragon tomorow, looks like it's gonna be a little chilly. Oh well, ready for the adventure.

CaptainJoe Posted October 29, 2011 #3 Posted October 29, 2011 Here ya go again, people telling other people to Be safe... In order for you to be politically correct,you need to state it like this: "Be safe (but only if you want to)" , (but only if you want to)" Nuyk, NUYK, NUYK... Woop,woop, woop, woop...
CaptainJoe Posted October 29, 2011 #4 Posted October 29, 2011 Hey Boomer, Kbran.... make sure you gear up and have a safe ride (but, only if you want to) as you don't have the excuse thats it's to hot. And make sure you take pictures, (but, only if you want to). Remember, If you don't, it didn't happen.
Yammer Dan Posted October 29, 2011 #6 Posted October 29, 2011 Have a nice ride. Keep it upright on two wheels and try not to have any unexpected meeting with animals other vehicles or the road!!! Hey I been gone for a week. All this running to hospital and back thats the best I can do....

Tom Posted October 30, 2011 #10 Posted October 30, 2011 Kenny,Put on your Gerbing heated jacket liner....I did this morning,32 but I was or felt like 75 degrees.
CaptainJoe Posted October 30, 2011 #12 Posted October 30, 2011 Ya know, if you'd have done the trip on the Steelers "BYE" week. I'd have rode the Dragon with ya... Altough I can't remember a snow this bad this early.. Used to feel lucky to ski Seven Springs at Thanksgiving... Believe we are in for a bad one.... At least we know where it started... Isn't that right BOngoBobNY?
elmicko Posted October 30, 2011 #13 Posted October 30, 2011 Not going to try to tell you what kind of protective gear to wear, but you better be wearing your fur-lined bloomers. It's going to be a bit nippy!
playboy Posted October 31, 2011 #14 Posted October 31, 2011 MY Momma was always telling me to wrap up wear your coat you will catch pneumonia Have a great time
kbran Posted November 1, 2011 Author #15 Posted November 1, 2011 Kenny,Put on your Gerbing heated jacket liner....I did this morning,32 but I was or felt like 75 degrees. Ok smarty, you know I don't have one and you wouldn't even loan me your's in Cody. Ya know, if you'd have done the trip on the Steelers "BYE" week. I'd have rode the Dragon with ya... Would have loved to have you. Not going to try to tell you what kind of protective gear to wear, but you better be wearing your fur-lined bloomers. It's going to be a bit nippy! Long johns and carhart coveralls worked good, my fingers were the problem.
kbran Posted November 1, 2011 Author #16 Posted November 1, 2011 We made it home about 5pm ct this evening. Boomer decided to go on, another 4 hr's, had to get back to his Sweety. We had a great time tho short.

CaptainJoe Posted November 1, 2011 #18 Posted November 1, 2011 Here's an inexpensive solution for cold hands/fingers while hunting or riding a bike... [ame=http://www.amazon.com/HeatMax-Toasti-Toes-Warmer-Pairs/dp/B0007ZF4PE]Amazon.com: HeatMax Toasti Toes Foot Warmer (40 Pairs): Sports & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51OFZ6JlcHL.@@AMEPARAM@@51OFZ6JlcHL[/ame] http://www.amazon.com/Heat-Factory-Pop-Top-Mittens-Warmers/product-reviews/B0049HW2YW/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 I also buy the tostie-toes or foot-warmup to tape on to the ball of my foot while hunting or motorcycling. Note: if your toes or fingers get cold...You will get cold... Also like the way the gloves are designed as you can change from mitts to fingered in a flash!
BoomerCPO Posted November 1, 2011 #19 Posted November 1, 2011 As Kenny posted earlier I made it home last night at 9PM. The ride to do the Dragon has been on my Bucket List for several years now. It was great riding up with Kenny, riding the Dragon with he and Cowboy,and of course the return trip to home. The roads in Cowboy's area are sheer joy to ride. Cowboy riding his 2nd Gen is watching poetry in motion for sure. The man knows the roads and his riding skills are the best I have ever seen. I'm paying the price for 3 days in the saddle but darn it was worth all the aches and pains I have today! To Kenny and Cowboy: Thanks for the friendship and the riding time together!! A special thanks to Beth for the fried chicken supper on Friday night and the gracious hospitality of both Kenny and Beth. Boomer....who left no pygmies at the Dragon nor any motorcycle parts in the "Tree of Shame" at Deal's Gap!
tufftom4 Posted November 1, 2011 #20 Posted November 1, 2011 I am glad you guys had a great ride and made it home safe.
mm482 Posted November 1, 2011 #21 Posted November 1, 2011 Glad everyone had a good time and a safe ride. Earl:thumbsup2:
