Joe if you all want I can take a picture of each of the riders in a good curve or something.

If they will space out about 5 seconds apart on cue.

Tally up thier email addresses and I can send them to them or they can have my email address

and they can request their picture on the Devil's Triangle from me.

Just a thought , mull that over and tell me what you want, cause I can't ride, I can help.

It might be good to have a picture to remember the ride as you rode it.

And it's free.

When I get a picture of myself on the Dragon , people always ask who took the picture.

KILL BOY, MOON SHINE, ZEE, US129, DRAGON PHOTOS and they all end up costing about 5

bucks a pic.

US129 The Dragon.

Sounds like a good idea Al. 

Hey Joe - what time are you planning to meet folks at what restaurant Friday night? I saw on one of these threads that we should come hungry Friday.... didn't catch the time or location.

Any idea how many riders are expected? We have 4 for sure from Atlanta, maybe 5.

No idea how many are coming ( I kinda like it that way    ) . Yes we'll go out for supper around 7:00 on friday night from the motel. All kinds of places to eat I was thinking Texas Roadhouse for a nice steak however anyone that wants to make another suggestion thats cool with me. See you friday Duffy

The guy on the mini bike reminds me of the stuff I used to do when younger.  

I'll be there Fri evening. My mutt is doing pretty well so I have a friend coming in a few times a day to let him out for a pee break. He's got an amazing bladder for a 14 year old mutt. He goes all night with no problem and doesn't whine to be let out in the morning.

Good deal Paul    I talked with Coot yesterday and he told me you would be on the ride....See y'all friday evening .

[big turkey]

Yes Friday Joe.

I am thinking of setting up in the 2nd to last turn before you hit the Brushy Mountain Memorial

Prison.

There is a parking area there and the lighting should be neutral.

How does that sound.

Big AL

PS I will call you tomorrow.

Here's Hopin for a Big Turnout and Good Weather and Safe WInds.
