    Blood Mountain

    Yes it is in GA and my blood has nothing to do with the name.

    New fork oil & air in 80 XS1100sg. Front end dive and hula motion Vastly reduced. T-Kat fork brace previously installed. Nearly new Showa rear shocks (harley take offs, fit with a little modification) cured pogo stick motion with 3-4 bounces per bump.

    This bike can handle much better than i believed it could.

    October 23, 2011 Rode Yamaha XS1100 on Sunday day trip. 30 miles of intersate, then back roads. Hwy 129 over Blood Mountain to Blairsville, 74 west then GA 60 north TN68 to Tellico plains, TN. Cherohala skyway to Robinsville, NC. I passed by some white stuff on side of road in shade at higher elevations. I believe it was snow. Bike ran strong. Yee Haw! Fun. Photo reflect / Squid Photos took some pictures on Blood Mountain. 11/23/2001 before 2:00pm cruising photos 92,93,94,95 shows an XS1100. You may not recognize the bike, but the rider with cigar might be me.

        Hey Brent,
        How do you make a Maltese cross ??

        A: stick your finger in his eye, stomp on his foot etc.
        Sorry old joke about people from the Island of Malta
