Also be prepared to get really great late-breaking info at the Resort. Remember "MJ is NOT Dead!"

This MJ stuff was a private joke that took place at Gap Hotel -- one of the bikers named Marvin Johnson went parading around with a big banner on his bike stating that he (MJ) wasn't dead and he could prove it. Rode around for like an hour and people would stop him and ask him what the f--- he was talking about, Michael Jackson was DAID, believe it dude.
All the trip things like this are a lot funner when you were there with a beer or two behind you .... it loses something in the translation from mountain speak.
We also had a moron campground attendant that used to spend his time harrassing us for how we started a fire, plus we used wood to cook our meat rather than popping $10 to buy a bag of his charcoal. He calmed out after a while and helped us to find some wood and then we fed him venison and burgers, so like the two camp dogs I guess we befriended him as well.
=====================
BTW, Lancer is right -- the trip is dangerous and we do go do dangerous things on purpose while we are up there.
We would not suggest you not plan to go, we would suggest you practice dragging your pegs during the upcoming year because YOU WILL DRAG THEM several times while you are up there in the thin air country.

Actually OF, that guy with the MJ sign on his saddlebags was just a NUT! We made up the Marvin Johnson character to give his home-made cardboard sign some validity.

You guys are nuts, MJ is with Elvis on the UFO and has been for 9 years.
The nut that took MJ's place was melting.

Here's the link, I can't figure out how to get the video right in our page. I did change Wheelie Hill to Wheelie Hell before I uploaded, but nevertheless.... Enjoy reliving 27 minutes of pure adrenaline rush!

Very Good Video
I have never seen the scenery it is Pretty.... when riding the Dragon you got to keep your Eyes on the road.
Thanks Savagedml
BTW: tire trouble was caused by a screw Picked up along the way.
they just put a tube in it and away we went. I could Have done the work my self but I left the Jack, Spoons and 3lb sledge at home
I had every thing else.
Looking at the calendar for the next few months....... Class starts Aug 17
I am taking two this next semester. So the September ride will be doubtful.

Nice video Darrell. I'll be looking at it from time to time. I also checked out your other video's and they look very cool. What kind of camera did you use? I should have checked out your camera set-up when I was there.

I'm having a problem seeing the video
Must be my computer.Well,I can see it,but its not playing right.
Edit:
Ah,Nevermind....I opened it in a new window and its 98% better!
Its good! So it takes about 30min to ride the dragon?
Very nice....I've never seen the whole 11 miles before on video
(Although actually I paused it half way through,I'm going back to see the rest now

Wouldnt you know it....I'm having a problem seeing the video
Must be my computer.Well,I can see it,but its not playing right.
Kind of like a movie that skips ....no,that's not a good description.
Choppy? I dont know what you call it....but It goes slow and the music skips.
I must need to do something different,I dont know what though
Any suggestions?
Is anyone else having a problem seeing it...or is it just me?
probably your internet connection is slow or your PC is in dire need of a defrag
Pause it and let it load, it is a flash video so it is streaming
