This Year's Tail of the Dragon Trip (ongoing)
Reply #753 - 04/19/10 at 05:28:01

That, Southpaw my friend, was an excellent suggestion !!!

====================================

START 2010 TAIL OF THE DRAGON TRIP DISCUSSION

THE DATES: a rolling arrival of various regional groups starting June 20th accumulating up through the week with the main cookout bash on Saturday evening June 26th with groups departing thereafter as they choose to go ....

Read the posts that follow looking for each regional group so you can join up with one of them for the ride in (improved safety in numbers and all) plus the added benefit of additional fun potential.

Warning: Think about the groups you go riding with. Some of these folks ride faster than you do and can lead you into situations you may not be able to handle. This has happened in years past and although no one in the Savage groups has ever been skin broken injured on his bike we don't care to change that track record either.

No matter what your riding skill level it is safe to plan to go to the party on Saturday -- all evil green froggishness will have dissipated as the frog is leaving on Friday AM to go back to work and his evil greenish vapors will have 24 hours for the fresh clean smelling mountain breezes to completely disperse.

Jest pretty butterflies and flowers on Saturday -- I promise.

How do you recognize an evil frog that is in disguise trying to act nice?

You surely have to do it BEFORE you go riding with him -- on the road is too durn late and your butt is already at risk then.

Any suggestions?

Me, I'd look at his bike, especially the footpeg ends. Then I'd look at his tires, to see how far the wear pattern runs up the sides.

People with clean foot peg ends and little nubbies surviving on the sides of their tires are generally safe to go riding with.

Or you could post pictures of the known evil frogs ....

Here's my favorite !!!

(and he's bringing two (2) custom frogmobiles with him no less)

ribbit ... ribbit... ribbit...

(!swack! goes the long sticky tongue and the juicy fly is gone)

MMRanch,
Yes, I just looked 60% thunderstorm Fri. PM----Sun.PM Angry

With the weather forcast and everyone from Western NC that I was to ride with not going, I'm about to agree with my wife that I don't need two nights in a tent in 40 something temps & thunderstorms.
I have never let rain run me off the bike when I get cought on a ride (that's why the FroggToggs stay in the bags) but to leave home knowing what this weather can do to these already tricky roads and tent camping may not be the smart thing to do?????

If you want to reschedule it's cool with me. Heck, you guys can save the $20/ night and set your tent in my yard for a Western NC Mtn. ride. Sorry no extra bedroom, lots of tent space, firepit / grill, and coffee and showers in the house.

Thunderstorm wimppy,
Bigzuk

Yup, he's a magic frog.

Even got him a Princess to ride behind him on his solo seat and kiss him on his bald spot and turn him into a spotted dalmatian fire dog she did ....

<tee hee hee>

No, I would not bring a woman to the first few days of the trip, but we DO have to be nice enough for them to be able to attend the Saturday festivities.

I'm contributing to this improvement/change in atmosphere on Saturday -- I guarantee I won't do anything on Saturday to upset anyone -- 100% assured perfect behavior on my part.
