4th Annual Fall 2010 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - Oct. 1, 2, 3
Re: 4th Annual Fall 2010 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - Oct. 1, 2, 3
I'm going to try to ride with Valk's group...
I'm pretty ballsy behind the wheel, but I also have to take my passenger into consideration. She gets a little uneasy when the speed gets too crazy through the turns.
Having said that, I don't want to simply putter through the hills... I want to let the car stretch a bit.
New brake pads will be here by the weekend, and I'm upgrading to ATE Super-Blue fluid (Thanks Nick)

lol last year when me and jediracer went on our 2 car ride after the saturday lunch and loop, we pulled back up to the lodge and my girlfriend damn near rolled out the car sick. It was funny, everyone was looking saying "is she ok" and my only reply was "yeah, we just tore up the dragon"

I am sure there are many out there who would be more skilled than I, but I would be happy to throw you through some turns, but you are the one who has to tell Molly

I just bought a multi-purpose tool and front license plate holder that was posted in the forum. I have no need for the license plate holder, so if anyone needs one, just let me know and I will bring it with me. No charge to a fellow Dragoner that can use it.
Which got me to thinking, it might be nice if others have items that they could bring that other members may need. I will look and see if I have anything else laying around that I can bring.
Thanks

If she wants to feel uneasy, have her ride w/Franc when he's feeling ballsy

I'll take the front license plate holder and I'll be more than happy to give you a few bucks for your trouble. Just let me know how much. Thanks, Pat

For the first-timers, don't forget to purchase and/or bring your FRS Radio(s) for communications. Helps a bunch to know what is going on while driving in a group.
