Wassup from Deals Gap.

[dReWpY]

some motel, wheeler called and he had to click over so who knows if he can get it tonight or not

90 bucks & its all done, wheeler got it back together(ish)

[Trip]

not too bad for what he had to do to it

We are talking warped rotor straightened, caliper welded, no telling to the rad resi, and ziptie everything together to remotely work all for 90 where as they did nothing to OSPs bike for how much.

[the chi]

yeah he got a steal of a deal on the repair costs, I finally had to leave him so I could get home...didnt want to, but work never stops for vacation time...wheeler left a note on the window for us but never called back till very late, but well, sometimes thats how it goes...

he sweet talked some nice lady and got dinner outta it, and he took it VERY well actually...

We were all tired after a long hot day of riding and were cruising back to the lodge to hop in the pool. One misjudged corner and wham. Simple mistake that anyone could of made.

Get off the subject. I never made an excuse for why i crashed. Marko doesnt like me, i shed a tear over it and go on with my life, thats great. if he wants to dwell on that let him go.

Thanks for stickin up for me trip, but honestly, its just a crash. we all go down, and its always avoidable. I took a lot from this wreck, and it was like an epiphany. It told me i really cant learn much more on the street, and thats something i think i already knew anyways.

I hear SBG is having a rally this month, marko, if you really want to get to know some riders that never take risks and dont push themselves.

thx rae.

on a side note, she also gave me a free room and a ride to wheelers in the morning.

Reba, at philips motel, will be one of my first stops next year. I was overwhelmed by her generosity.

Try to get someone following you with a tank cam next time, NTS. Post it for critiquing purposes.

you pretty much have to at the gap, you don't get much of a break in the action and you always have to be wary of lane crossers.
