I bet it is comfy but I still don't think I could fall asleep. A buddy of ours ex-wife used to fall asleep on him on the back of a sport bike She'd just lay over on his back and be gone after about 10 minutes of riding. He finally made her stop riding with him because he was afraid she'd fall off.

Guilty When I use to 2up on the Harley I would fall a sleep but normally only on long straight roads. I was sandwiched in between the luggage, backrest, and husband so I was not too concerned of falling off. She must really trust your riding.

Post What ride down

Well we got here around 8 and damn what a shot. Prolly the longest straight run I have ever done. It was fun specially in the Kentucky Tn area doing about 80-85 through those curves was really fun. We hit a little patch of rain pretty heavy too, for a out 25 miles. Hopefully the dragon will be dry. Can't wait till tomorrow to hit the Dragon. More to come tomorrow night..........

Well we had a great trip and time with Trip. Got some pics that I need to put up.

Never we're able to hook up with Diva and Jeeps. Sat they were both working, sunday, it was raining in the morning and we never really left the gap and got out towards them. Kinda sucks cause I would have loved to meet both but weather/sked never allowed. Plus with Trip being on the DRZ the whole time we didn't want to push him too far on his 2x4 seat.

Plus, my bike would of died out in the middle of nowhere from like the engine falling out of the frame or something.

We need to boil some shrim PA next time you come down.

Glad you had a good trip and a safe trip home. I hate we missed each other but hopefully one day soon we will get to meet each other.

Truth on the DRZ being a PIA all weekend. You know, the only thing I had to do to the Hog was in Ohio on the way back, my left highway peg was a little loose so I tightened it while putting gas in it. So much for stereotypes huh.

AMEN on the shrim PA. And maybe some crawfish too!

Well as I said. The trip was a big success. Sure I would have wished we had more time for more things but we did what we could and enjoyed it the entire time.

I can not say how much I appreciate Trip for helping us, showing us around, and just letting us hang with him. Further, A for letting us use and abuse him all weekend. Like I said to her, I wasn't sure if I should say "sorry for having him out all day or you're welcome for having him out all day". I'll let you all guess which way she answered!

Diva... sorry we never connected. You sure sound like a hoot to hang out with. Plus I have been meaning to meet up with Jeeps for YEARS!!! I certainly enjoyed our phone conversations and your insight on certain laws. Jeeps is a lucky man for sure!!

Anyway, here's the pics I took. I will get the various online GAP pics in the near future. Already found most of them but not sure how you all steal the low res. I know I will order the high res ones, at least a few.

The Hog ready for the travel... sportin the stock tall shield and the tourpack



On the way down, Caveman, stretchin his legs out... no he's not air humpin the tank as it looks. At least not this time



The open road


A shot on 75S in KY


Taking long breaks at gas ups, it took us about 10hrs to get down. We weren't sure how well we would do so we paced our selves. Took just as long as I thought.

Sat mornin at Trips the 2 metrics needed a few things...


The DRZ had already got a new tube in the rear tire, more air in the front, and a the worst was... he was leakin coolant from a crushed rad.



The Honda Shadow just needed some more coolant and checked the cap as well


The HD was left out of this wrenching... thank god and something I'm not too use to yet.



A few shots from the look out at the gap... I know we have all seen way too many of these






Damn Trip was so damn fast on his dirt bike. I think this weekend convienced him he needs to super motard it out.

Saw some greatness there... like this. Trip needs to find the other side of the fun. But here's boyfriend and his great machine and gear.


A tribute to Drewpy from the Tree of Shame
