InZane 14!!!!!!!

[flatsixrider]

loads of great roads close to Asheville.  If anyone wants to make some runs on this great stretch, let me know.  Mid week this road should be empty.

Hey VRCC staff, let's setup for InZane and see who can do it?

DAMN that dude is good

DAMN that dude is good

Did you notice his eyes were always looking where he wanted to go.

We had to qualify on courses like that but not the long.    We would turn the course in like 36 seconds.     The fastest I ever turned it was 36.4 seconds.

I hate to admit this on a Honda Valkyrie site, but that Harley is a easier manuvering motor compared to the Valkyrie.   

No doubt, with some practice, the Valkyrie could probably be pushed through in a close time to the 1:57 he turned.

[Bighead]

I too agree an HD bagger is easier to maneuver it a tight spot.

[Disco]

That is Jerry "motorman" Palladino in the video. He has the nationwide riding seminars called Ride Like a Pro.  Well worth the cost of admission. 

A bunch of us took Jerry's Ride Like a Pro class in Houston a couple of years ago during a GOTF weekend and it was great.  However, the rider in the video is the great Donnie Williams.  He teaches MSF classes in the DFW area.  He can ride really slowly, too! 

Donnie Williams - Slow Ride, 2:15

[BobB]

The Valkyrie's longer wheel base puts us at a disadvantage over the HD. It is 4" longer than a Road King.  I have one of the Ride Like a Pro CD's which I view before every riding season.

[Dogg]

2things, donnie williams is probably the best there is as far as these little courses go. But his bike, being a roadking, was designed specifically for slow speed manuevering. The roadking has the tightest turning radius of any motorcycle, giving it the advantage with slow speed cornering. It was designed that way. Thats why he can do those things he can do.

[Cracker Jack]

Looks easy, I believe I could do it if I had his bike. (Not)

[Gavin_Sons]

I can do that. On a bicycle 

[Daniel Meyer]

I'd get lost half way through. And on the valk, there'd probably need to be a fuel/pee stop in the middle somewhere

[R J]

I totally agree with Daniel.     He nailed it on the button.

[Texas Jimbo]

Sheesh.. Gotta drive a whole 60 miles to get there?!  That's WAY too far.  No good roads either.  Might as well be in Kansas!

[biguglyman]

Hey...how about a poker tournament? Prizes from sponsors for the top 2 or 3 finishers and give the proceeds to the charity we're supporting. Just an idea....

[BIG COUNTRY 23321]

Just under 700 miles for me. I'm hoping to join Joe in Clinton, TN for the ride into Asheville. 

[Rams]

I keep hoping and looking for more information.   Am I looking in the wrong place or has the host hotel not been posted yet?

[Willow]

Contract is signed.

Hotel, as I understand it, isn't yet prepared to start processing reservations.

[Firefighter]

Was in Fredricksberg October 2013, planning to go to Asheville Inzane, hope I can pull it off. Nearly 1400 miles for me, one way, I think? Any one else from Texas going?

[Lyn-Del]

I plan to be there but I'll be arriving by way of Ohio

[Daniel Meyer]

I plan to be there but I'll be arriving by way of Ohio

The short way huh?

[flsix]

Texas to N.C. by way of Ohio. That must be some of that new math the teacher was telling me about in school so many years ago. I still don't understand it.

[R J]

I'd venture to bet it has something to do with the Meter Maids.

thank you for the update....I'm ready... waiting...and eager

[Lyn-Del]

I'm going to Pennsylvania to the PowWow, and instead of coming home and turning around and going to Inzane, I'll go visit some friends in PA, IL, and OH.  So actually, it's a shorter route than PA-TX-NC.

And RJ, Motor Maids convention always starts the Tuesday after the 4th of July.  And it's in Texas this year.

[R J]

So Meter Maids is a goin to be in ur back door.

Have a safe trip whe ya hit the road.

[Ken Tarver]

I'm planning to be there, and hopefully drag some of the posse along. Birthday time for me too on the 12th. Hope to meet a bunch of you. Won't be there for the entire week, maybe Wed-Sat.

I believe you will miss most of it.  Early bird Sunday night.  Ends thursday night, if I remember right.

[Ken Tarver]

oh, thanks MP
thought the dates were 9-13, haven't seen an itinerary ~ maybe one will pop up soon so I can plan better.
Will keep an eye open for it.

Hey firefighter! I'm planning on going, I have not figured my itinerary yet though. I'm thinking about just riding straight there on I20 to atlanta and I85 into Ashville. I can say with certainty that I don't plan on hitting any dirt roads 

[kiwi#9582]

I am waaaaay overdue to go.... only been once AT Zaneville...   Will try to put it on schedule....   

[Boot Legger]

Can't wait..  My first inzane..

Usually a good contingent from the Republic are at Inzane.  I'd be watching the Texas board for more info as it gets closer.

You missed the GOOD ones in the beginning... we used to ride from Zaneville to the Honda plant in Ohio...  That was great.
