Me!!! But I'll be riding the Dragon in NC for the first time. Woohoo!!!

NEIKOS

If I do it'll be up to PIR and around the track for ToR.

Haven't made up my mind if I'm gonna do it Sunday or Saturday yet.

I'll probably be at PIR for ToR on Saturday.  [moto]

Believe it or not, I have a hankering for going out to Maupin and Tyghe Valley this weekend.

I have mounted the studded snow tires to the Rs, so I should be good to go.

My disreputable colleagues at work are trying to talk me into this.

They were out there some weeks ago and mentioned the great roads.

hmmmmm . . .

Truth be told, they are the virtual kind, I guess.

I hear the snow level will be dropping down to about 3000 feet tomorrow.

Good lord - snow level? - I'm starting to sound like Mother . . .

Snow level?

I'd ask him what that is but I'd rather not wake a bear in hibernation. He gets grumpy.

If they're wearing leathers they get them perforated for free!

I didnt look at those two video's, so if this has been mentioned, sorry.  :)

Last winter Dutaci had some event where Stoner rode the motogp bike on an ice track with studded tires.  I dont recall where I saw the video, maybe on Ducati's site, but I bet if you looked on youtube, its there.  Pretty crazy shit!

The route from HWY 35 through Dufer to Tyghe Vally and Wamic back to HWY 26 is a good ride. [moto]

It wasn't Stoner on the ice-tired Ducati, he was there but he didn't ride it, it was a factory test rider on the 2007 990 CC MotoGP bike. [thumbsup]
