[QUOTE="whyzee, post: 487843, member: 27186"] Well where do I start? A great day of riding, followed by an enjoyable evening hosted by the ever gracious Gomer. We get to TNT after our 4-hour drive and find the Scott mobile, get unloaded and dressed up in weekend attire as James is patiently waiting, and hit the hit the woods track, it’s a bit wet but still fun. Back at the trucks we watch a guy trying to work up the kahonnas to jump the 70’ free style jump, later in the day he made an attempt at it and found those kahonnas :silly: , unfortunately for him they were found when he came up short. Well Gomer had arrived so after working on Solo’s front brake, we head off to turn some laps, Mike has a way of being able to pass ya just about anywhere but he does it in a calm and smooth manner, never leaving roost and plenty of room. The few times I got around him, I was pushing as hard as I have ever rode, I realize now I must have used too much track or kicked too much roost as he had a new nick-name for me back at the truck :flame: , and he tries to blame lil96 for the name. Saturday turns out to be the first time James jumps the gully jump, (what it that jump, ...40 feet?) he was in front of me and I dropped a gear and revved the motor as if I was going to jump it, only to slam on the brakes and roll the jump. I thought for sure James did this jump in the past because he always does the triple right after. Feeling bad I decided to give it a shot myself, pacing James, I came a lil short, that was the deal on that jump all day and after the 5th time of just barely making it each time, I went back to rolling again. James later waded up in the mud in a hole after another triple, he rode most of the rest of the day, but one could tell he hurt. As I found James packing up I was able to get his attention long enough to so he could watch my attempt at the 70’ free-style jump, man I still can believe I did that. The first thing James says is “why didn’t you do a no-hander?” Yea, right :silly: . After James went home to recover, Mike & I went down to the woods track and raced around until I thought I was going to drop. Mike, there was a guy taking pictures down there, I talked to him before I came up the hill and meant to give him my email he drives a blue truck, is all I know. If you know him, or if your friends know him I would like to get the pictures he took of #38 and yourself and compensate him for any the time. My email is [email]TPCHomesInc@att.net[/email] Well my day was done so we tried to head out even though Mike has already asked us to his home. Knowing Lori is not well, my efforts are not a accepted, and with the guarantee that we are not intruding, we head off to Columbia. Well we washed everything and jump started my truck first, but off we go. And did we go, Gomer drives that 150’ house on wheels like he’s in a Ferrari. I get to see Lori again and she is looking great, but can tell she is tired, so we get Chinese, and sushi and head back to the house. Tommy is insistent that the table is not clean enough and lets his dad know by taking matters into his own hands. :) By the way today is his 5th birthday, Mike, give him a glass of water from me. I know I have not mentioned that Lil96 was with me (mostly because he rode the 85 track all day and had a blast racing the kids his age) but him and I camped out under the front bushes at Mikes' for the night. This morning we unloaded our bikes from the fun-mobile and loaded up our truck and headed on the long road home. My day was spent cleaning bikes & gear, Changing a flat on my daughters truck and replacing a battery. I woke up about an hour ago to a Lasagna dinner my daughter cooked and found all the clothes washed. What a kid, both of ‘em. Tuesday, we head up to Virginia to see Lola who has been with her sister since last week, we’ll be back and in town and touch in December. Mike, thanks again. James, look forward to the next ride. Solo, why do you need a front brake? [/QUOTE]
