I was there, Guano. I spoke to you the first night in the lower hallway of the lodge (during the heavy rain). Nice to meet you. Vintage was representin'. Did those new rear tires work out ok for you?
I remember talking with you briefly. It was a pleasure meeting you. I wanted to explore further something you mentioned about the profile of these tires vs the Protenzas. At any rate the tires did a super job. The first run at the dragon was a little timid. Once I got the tires warmed up and profiled, they stuck as good or better than the original eq.
When my fronts need replacing, I am going to have the Hankooks all the way around.

See you at DBR?

Thanks . That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
UT Ro, Batquano. I hope that means that you did not forgot to engage the clutch during a "Vintage" fart?

Drove 598 miles to make this event and the Dragon was worth every mile.

Rain or Shine the Dragon is a Blast.



Every year Kim and I try to get Lost in the Smokies on Sunday.

We also like to hunt down big waterfalls if it rains a lot while we are in the Smokies.

Here is a pic of the Bald River Falls and our S.

I remember you. I signed your hood at the station at Deals Gap. Did you stay under 130MPH going home?

Yes, under 100 most of the way home.

I left way too much Rubber in the Smokies and arrived home with two rear Slicks, and a Huge Smile on my Face.

This last set of rear SO2's were broke in on the Dragon (DBR05) last year and Finished off this year at WTD06. For some reason this set only lasted about 8,500 miles.

A little Sharpie wouldn't hurt her.
