For all of you who either didn't go or packed it in early Sat night missed a large time. The rain never got beyond a drizzle so there was no reason to stop.

1. That vehicle will go down the stairs, even with someone on the roof.

2. Tires spark nicely before they blow.

3. You can slow-dance on top of a bonfire for a surprisingly long time.

4. Just because it looks like a compund fracture doesn't mean it really is...AKA I didn't know ankles could do that.

5. Even beer won't make a S3 do fast spinning burnouts.

6. Security won't really get pissed, even if they have to come by seven times.

If you missed it you don't get an explanation, just don't go to bed so early. :wink:

Shiite! I DID go to bed too early! Stunta- was that you in full leathers and ponytail? I thought you might be, wanted to say hello and kudos to your creativity w/your bike....I'm Dan, wore a Glengarry (like Scott's, only nicer) rode a Thrux ...
Anyway- we all had a great time, tho I think you and others who stayed awake might have better stories...

I was in cordura rainwear, but I did have a ponytal with glasses. Nails painted black too and a white sweater. Like I said no one gets an explanation if you missed it, but there are def stories to match shooting the boot from the previous Dragon Raids. Things weren't right withe the tires on my TBvS so I was on the black Frankenmille with pin-up gals on it.

LOL - SOME of us had been riding HARD for a few days by that point, Bubba - I wasn't pissed so much to be missing anything as I was by all the racket you Yahoos were creating.... :razz:

But dat's O.K.. I got over it by doing a beautiful traffic-free early morning run down the Dragon on Nessie Sunday, while the rest of you blokes were recovering from hangovers, chipped teeth, and dislocated ankles (gee, that all sounds like SO much fun!!!). She positively rocks in the twisties with the Daytona rear shock, Yoshi can, and Race Tech front end!

As for who had the coolest Glengarry - that may always be up for debate, but mine was ALWAYS the first on the Dragon ;-)

SO, where are all the cool pics? There are a few in our album...
:razz:

Yeah I saw you shooting past as we were finishing up with breakfast. Then I split and had an excellent run down the Skyway on my way home.
