Special.. as in "Rode the short bus"? We'll probably make it again. Gives you easterners someone to point and laugh at, and you leave poor Brent alone for a while.

For those using windows 7, use the windows built in snipping tool. Works well.
Too bad my bike was soooooo dirty.Harry

Just hit pause for a while and let it pre-load. Either that, or get rid of the dial-up. lol.
At @ 13:10 on that video, you'll see Gary and I pass a Forestry Service truck that immediately puts it's brakes on. I thought they were going to turn around and have a word or three with us.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

I'll second that...was really great to meet up with Tod again(1st time was the XSEast rally at Somerset 3 yrs ago)plus getting to meet John,Harry and Greg also added to the party as well. Was great fun Marty. I've been to 3 of these...1 at TWO and 2 at the Iron Horse...so in that time I feel this last rally was the most successful in terms of vintage bike attendance...I dont think the weather was too bad...could have been better for the scenery but theres always next year. I truly believe we have some of the best motorcycle roads in the country in NC,TN,GA and SC...how could you not want to repeat that next year???Originally posted by jetmechmarty View Post
as an aside ...it seems my blood pressure was spiked on sunday and i was rather impatient about the ride in general...got home and found my BP was 162/100...holy crap...no wonder i had a headache all day...my apologies to those to whom I dispalyed my impatience to....BTW Biker Phil...it was great riding back with you to Asheville hope you all made it home alright...you havent chimed in yet so hope all went well....Last edited by madmax-im; 10-04-2012, 08:04 AM.1980 XS650G Special-Two

I plan on attending again next year. Long ride out there and back but was well worth it. It was nice meeting everybody and putting faces to names.
I am having no problems loading and streaming the videos in HD so it must just be your connection Ben.Harry

The snipping tool is in your programs. Hit the windows button and type snipping tool in the search window. First time i have used it but it works well.Harry

Apparently one of the computers at the house loaded another one. This is on Saturday where we had our first dry road of the day to ride. I was trying to keep back, but kept running up on Ryan and his Ninja. Sorry if it felt like I was pushing you. When we got to the end, he shook his head and said, "That road f***ed me up!" lol.

P.S. Just about all the video I shot on the first day, the camera was pointed too low.. Sorry about that.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
