TrikeTalk Rally-2 at the Dragon Tail

[Juju]

I could not decide who had the biggest grin . My vote ( after a flip of a coin ) goes to JUJU ( it is a newbee grin ):yes:

Newbee grins ROCK!

*sap alert*
That I was able to do so well and have so much fun on this, my first long trip on my trike, is owing largely to the helpful information, support, generosity, thoughtful discussion, and plain, good-hearted friendliness provided so openly by the members of this forum. Thanks to one and all.

Juju, you looked just like my wife 15 years ago. Ah, I'll explain that. She hadn't made any trips with real curves, then I took her down the "Pig Trail". just as curvey as Deal's Gap, but much shorter. Good learning experience.
As I was watching the video, I swear I could see you improve as the curves came by. You got smoother, and picked your lines better as your ride went on. Gloria did the same as we rode the twisties on that first trip through the Ozarks. Seeing the confidence and proficiency increase like that is fun to watch.:yes:

Great pix--and thanks for locating those, Nana!

Found some more pix of Mike and Earl on pages 61 and 62 of the Cruiser thumbnails.

I had such a great time at the Dragon! I had a great weekend with all of you! We rode close to 10 hours on our Stallion including the Dragon, and I have to say I did not even notice it the next day. Bella has been planning a trip to the Snake. This weekend we are working on our Mt. House (Piper Run).

The restaurants were good eating (except for the chicken nugget). I have to expand on that one. We were in Chimney Rock with Nana & Mike. We stopped at the restaurant that had home cooking in Chimney Rock named Laura's. I ordered the Chicken dinner (9.00). It came with choice of white or dark, with two veggies. The waitress brought out a large white plate with two veggie dishes and a small fried looking nugget about the size of a silver dollar. She said that was all I was getting! It had all the bones in it too! Needless to say I was not happy. Mike did not like his Chili either. That is the last time I am going back there! We had good eating the rest of the weekend.

The road from Lake Lure to Asheville was great. Plenty of twisties. The Blue ridge parkway was a disappointment! But the road to the Dragon was very good.

Bella and I had a wonderfully weekend. We enjoyed meeting everyone. We look forward to riding with Third Wheel (George & Deloris) soon. It was great to see Mike & Natalie again. Nana can sure ride ( I learned that this weekend!), It was a pleasure to finally meet Mike, Juju & and Earl (I want to be like Earl when I grow up....if I ever grow up). It was also nice to meet Wayne for dinner. I would also like to give a shout out to the Belly dancer!
