    I have a magnet that I put on and it works for most. I do, however, have a red light above the house that just will not trip...I have called the city twice in 30 days. Today, my little bitty plastic GMC Suburban (sarcasm) just would not trip it either. Problem is, the cross street is the tanker shortcut to an interstate and they just don't slow down. I am going to invite the person I talk to at the city to meet me and a TV reporter at the intersection tomorrow. So far this month, I have run that light 18 times. HMMMMMMMM

    I went cheap... go to wallyworld and buy a pair of 20 dollar go over polarized sunglasses. They fit over your own glasses. The sport version is vented so they never fog. I have multiple pairs so I am never without them. I even wear them on overcast days just to cut glare. [ATTACH]59444[/ATTACH] Kinda look like this..

    Daughter and I camped on the back side of Grandfather mtn and hiked part of the AT at Roan Mtn this Thurs-sat. Back home in clt and it is too dang hot. Temps were wonderful most of the time. Like you, we had our first incident at a camp ground two nights in a row even after complaining. We left rather unhappy with management. This at a camp ground we use often. Hope the rest of your trip is good. (wishing we were back at altitude)

    OK, In my younger days, being a ham, I used to be the one to climb towers and work on antennas for people, I have a 60 foot tower in my yard now. Yes, I stay firmly planted on terra firma...My younger brother does the climbing. I believe that as we get older, we understand the splatter effect on our bodies better.

    Too hot in the garage to lift the bike today. But, I AM gonna check pads and probably replace the fluid first chance I get. I need a way to let you know when we have these urges to see if you want to join us.

    Nice bike Okiestar. Seems we have the same taste in nice looking bikes. Yes, whims being fulfilled that quickly makes it nice. From my house, I can be on the parkway in Blowing Rock in less that 2 hours. But hey, Warrior lives a few minutes from the parkway.. PITS.

    Just curious, what did you find dangerous?

    I just had to ride yesterday. I started out visiting my Yamaha Dealer in Gastonia (no I don't use the one in Charlotte) for a clutch side switch and screw replacement to help fix my cruise kick off problem. In short order, they had me ready to go. I sent AKRefugee a text of my NEED TO RIDE and he responded ME TOO. So we met at a Subway for a quick "samich" (local for sandwich). Then it was GO West Young Man for both of us. HOT- We headed toward Lake Lure. At one point AK said his thermometer read 100 something. All I knew was that it was hot and while at the dealer having the cruise switch installed they had apparently done something to make my air conditioner stop working. We arrived in Lake Lure where we did a little twisty road close to some golf courses that I knew. Good little road. Crazy- From Lake Lure, we headed toward Black Mountain with the intentions of gaining some altitude and cooler temps. I then received a bee in the helmet. Two stops later he was out. This is where it got a little crazy. While driving through the quiet little town of Black Mtn, I realized there was a truck beside me. The driver was kinda looking at me funny. It appears that after AK and I had delivered a certain someone back to his area a few days ago, this guys wife felt it prudent to let him out of the cage again. [ATTACH]58956[/ATTACH] I'm just glad it was him and I did not have to recall my previous days target practice to get out of there. All kidding aside. Good to see you again Warrior. Cool- After leaving Black Mtn, we proceeded up the Blue Ridge parkway headed toward Highway 80. Along this portion of the ride, temps fell to the 70's. Wow, WAY COOL. Temps were great, views were great, road just repaved and great. Very enjoyable and a welcome reward for the hot ride up. [ATTACH]58957[/ATTACH] AKRefugee going through one of the tunnels. [ATTACH]58958[/ATTACH] One of the panoramic views we passed on the ride. Brakeless- We continued on up the Parkway enjoying the ride and all it had to offer until we reached Highway 80. Now this is what AK lives for. He loves the twistys and throwing sparks. So down 80 we go. AK takes the lead. (he is a better rider on the twistys and I did not want to slow him down). But you know how we all want to get better:big-grin-emoticon: I was doing a pretty good job of keeping up with him but in the process obviously heated up my rear brake fluid to the point my back brakes went away. Yes, I got stopped. Pried my butt off the seat, went to a tree to relieve myself and came back to the bike to figure out what the heck happened, lower my heart rate, catch my breath and to wait on AK to come looking for me. After some chuckles and some time for the fluid to cool, off we go to finish the ride down 80 and then home. Yes the ride down the rest of the mountain was much slower and smarter for me. Over all, great ride and a great day. Morals of the story...... 1) Riding can fix just about anything. 2) Riding with friends makes it even better. 3) Aways be aware of guys staring at you out their truck window. 4, 5 and 6) Don't ride the brakes.... Did I say, don't ride the brakes.:buttkick:

    Good viewing. The only thing I would add is that the group I ride with most of the time uses either a double or single line depending on the road. When on a road that demands alot of turns, we just signal "1" meaning ride in a single file line. That allows us to use the whole lane through the "twistys". I find that groups riding does take a little practice but it makes many rides, IMHO, a little safer in that we all know what the next person is going to do.
