Rode the Valkyrie up toward the Dragon in Tennessee. For a night ride on Tennessee's most dangerous stretch of highway. Almost got there and the Rain turned us back. The KId ,,Eric got a new set of pipes, just like the Dragon Pipes Lucky 13 had on his previous ride. Sound Great. Eric, Todd, Lucky 13, SmokinJoe, and myself took the ride. The bottom fell out as soon as we left Eric and Todd off at the Super 8 Motel at Watt Road. Waited for the storm to ease up and then High Tailied it home. Full Moon led the way until the rain moved in. Good Ride. 116 miles. Averaged 34.1 miles per gallon.

i wonder if i could get one of you two's to get me a small red dragon sticker from the store? NITRO had gotten a silver one, put it on his back fender, and i thought that was the perfect size and place for it. the small one mesures about 2", i'll try and get a picture of it.
they won't sell it on line, you have to be present to purchase it.

I need to look, alph. I believe they just put one or two in my purchase bag. There was at least one in there, and I know I did not buy it, because I HATE stickers on my vehicles. I will see if I still have it. MP |

I just found mine, 3 in fact. What they gave me is a sticker, but it is a white oval, about 2", with a cutout dragon in the middle. Free. So, if you put it on your bike, it will be a white oval, with you paint showing thru, in the shape of a dragon. With your red bike, alph, it would be a red dragon.

You know, if it weren't for the animals (mainly those forest rats) I'd actually feel safer riding at night. Your headlight stands out more and I know that cagers see me better after dark. The time that REALLY scares me is dusk when no one can see a cursed thing.

that'd have to be cool as hell to ride at night!! in the fall, with few leaves on the trees!! you'd be able to see past the turn, down to the next road! (that was such a fun trip, better then going around lake superiour)
