Smoky Mountain Ride 2009!

By -

It was great seeing all of you and meeting several. Here I've posted several pics from the trip, but feel free to throw up some more of your own that you feel may better represent your experience. As John and I were talking this morning, it became clear once again that men and women think very differently. As we were going through the shots, he asked me where the photo of his bike was. I hadn't taken one. (BIG oops!) I explained that women are more interested in people (so my shots tended to be of people) while men in this situation would be more interested in the machines. What is embarrassingly absent are photos of the "pit crew" and the wonderful food. So to Jean and Mona, I apologize profusely. The food was excellent and I greatly appreciate the tremendous effort.

Again, Zoe John and I had a very nice time, as short as our stay was. I hope Saturday brought great riding for all and you all have a nice trip back home. See ya again next year, if not sooner.

Fall Ride in NC with the Bumble Bee

Matthew Powell, his buddy Ian, and I snuck in a Fall ride in the NC/TN mountains. We had great riding, but ran into some thick fog in the mountain tops (blue ridge especially) and so looked for new territory. We found highway 209 from Interstate 40 to Hot Springs, NC. This was an excellent road. Horses, windmills, dilapidated barns, a waterwheel; very beautiful and pastoral. And nice twisties and no traffic. Check it out: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=lake+junaluska,+nc+to+Hot+Springs,+NC&sll=35.588085,-82.878799&sspn=0.252952,0.473099&ie=UTF8&z=10&om=1 Fontana Lake is 60 feet low! BMW, Honda Interceptor, Triumph Speed Triple: all single sided swing arm bikes. And boy did they get a workout on these roads. Look at Matthew's bright yellow pack. Hence the title of this post, "Bumble Bee"

I wanted to thank Lisa Davis for inviting me to join ABioBikers...I didn't even know this blog existed until I saw her at work last week in Foster City. For those of you that don't me, I've been riding for 19 years, sportbikes the entire time. Raced with the AFM in Northern California for five years, and since have done a number of track days and many, many rides around California. With all our weather in 2006, I haven't ridden much yet this year (instead, I've been squeaking in bicycle rides between rain storms), and my 2001 CBR needs to get in for an interval service (32,000 miles!), a new chain and tires, and a Penske shock rebuild, but I will have it on the road very soon and will be posting reports and photos from rides. BTW, I am also a track photographer for Laguna Seca and Infineon Raceways, so I will be posting links to photos from events here if you're interested in seeing them. Be seeing you soon (on the road, I hope)! Here is a link to my current Spo
