More carnage, Duane making his contibution to the tree of shame. jwsmithjr, if you like I can remove you pic.

Made it back in safe and sound. Darkangel and I pulled out this morning about 11AM. We did a Gap run right after we got up this morning. Peaceful and quite....until we met some hooligans in a big ass black truck pulling a trailer over the Gap...they were being followed by a red stang and a silver ricer:p . If anybody knows these people tell them the Gap is for two wheels only! Great weekend..it was nice meeting the new guys and seeing all of our old friends again. Thanks for the hard work you did to make it happen ! Wish we could have had more time to hang out and visit but the Dragon kept calling!

Man you guys are fast, 3 pages already! I've just finished unpacking. This was a fantastic trip, and it was great meeting all of you. I will try to get some pics up later, that is if the pages haven't jumped to 3,000.

It was really great meeting a ton of new people. Everyone that worked on pulling this together derserves a pat on the back. Gawarrior- I know you poured a TON of time into this rally and it showed. Hats off to you. Shane and the rest of the crew from McCoy's-Great work on all the give aways and for getting Chuck there. I know there are more people who worked "behind the curtain" to help out. Thanks to you as well. Oh yeah-I nominate ZRider as "official" pork chop cook for ALL future rallys. All in favor? Kevin info@mrcycles.com

Oh yeah-I nominate ZRider as "official" pork chop cook for ALL future rallys. All in favor? HECK YES! Them there pork chops didn't stand a chance once Ned got to them. I think I had 6 total! :thumbup to Ned. All the food was excellent and the price wasn't bad either! :bow

The chain was stuck on my swing arm, so while coasting down the hill, I reached down and grabbed it, and kept on rollin into town!:jump http://www.chicagoriders.com/forum/uploads/post-26-1087172332.jpg http://www.chicagoriders.com/forum/uploads/post-26-1087172503.jpg How bout this guy!!!

GaWarrior and BK- Big thanks for puttin this thing together, job well done. Southern118- We had prizes flowing out the a** and it was really cool to see that everyone went away with something. Thanks man for the roof, it was a blast. Ned- Awesome food man. Chuck- Thanks for taking time from that schedule to make us all feel like big shots at a drivers meeting we'll never attend. Shane and the McCoy's- Big thanks for all the gifts, they were awesome. Eric- Preciate the giveaway stuff man, never would have guessed you were a verbal american. Everyone Else- Enjoyed all your company and consider you guys all friends for life, I hope we can meet again and do this yearly till we are all so old we ride cruisers. Now thats old!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see some more guys!

Made it home about 8:30 PM after taking a little tour through TN to pick up some major fireworks ($250.00 worth) for our big 4th of July party. The rain and hail in North GA sucked big time on the way back to Florida. Pouring buckets while driving through down town Atlanta. Traffic came to a stop 3 times in those stupid construction zones and 1 time for a accident. Other than that, no other problems. I had a great time just like everyone else did. Look forward to next year. Guys, hold off on posting your pictures. I talked to Chad and we decided to make a "Sticky" for everyone to post all the Deal's Gap pictures. It will probably be on the General discussion area of the forum. Let's give Chad a little bit of time to post it up. Hopefully, he will have it up sometime tomorrow.

Ok, so my bad!!! This is that special picture thread. Yeah, all that thin air has done something to this Florida boy!!! Post Away!!!

Guys, looks like alot of fun. I wished I could have made it but had to work. I grew up in Robbinsville,would have been nice to see the family and meet you guys. There's always next time! Keep the pics coming fellas....

You know for some reason it's just not a legit trip without Ned around... :thumbup.... that ricer is a 600+ hp twin turbo 300z that's setup for road racing.. nothing like taking corners at at light speed in a car... Jerry and Darryl were kickin it in the car 4 sure..!

Oh yeah-I nominate ZRider as "official" pork chop cook for ALL future rallys. All in favor? [/B] that's true, ned can hang but we might need to change southern118's name to porkchop118 cause he had more on his shirt then anyone... :lol

btw... I can't wait to see Ken's pictures... he was camped out taking them a few times... THANK YOU....!! Darryl from REFLEX leathers took a bunch and he's giving them to me in the am...

Our little group. Getting ready for first run of the morning.

PorkChop118 it is, hope he likes the new name we've given him. Think he'll actually register it? I hope so, because every time someone asks how he got his name there will be a little Deal's Gap story to tell where you punked him out. I'm still laughing over that one. Ian

Scott, Chad and Chuck Graves at the bottom of the gap.

Since I can't sleep I'll post some more pics. :boobies Here's a pic of me with the one of the '04 R1's Shane brought to the gap. Yeah, I wish it was mine.:lol

The McCoy's transportation.

Great pics. Randy!!! :thumbup :thumbup

"Can You Hear Me Now" Boxing 21 just after we got soaked on Saturday morning on the way to the Skyway. The cell phone signal is not the best around the gap. Nice try Pete.:yesnod

Phill woke up and found someone had added a little boost to his R1.

Keep up the great pictures Skeeter.... :thumbup I really wish I'd have gotten to spend more time with everyone...

Chuck giving Kneedragger some tips on how to ride. :scared

great pics skeeter, keep em comming

Hanging out at James,Petes,Jeffs and Wills cabin after a 10 hour day of riding. And Damn you Pete( Boxing 21) for getting me hooked on Red Bull!!!

Here's some of up on top of the gap at the look out Saturday after it stopped raining. Man, did it get muggy!!!

skeeter did your buddy find out what was wrong with his bike?

Another. Chad, your the man!!!

Hey Ben the guys from Mcoy fixed it in 10 minutes!! Blown fuse. Had Sal back up and carving twisties in no time!!

Originally posted by goodriddance skeeter did your buddy find out what was wrong with his bike? Yeah, my good friend Salvador. We got it fixed. The McCoys actually came over to our room and looked at Sal's bike with all their tools. Man, that's what this forum is all about. It made his day to see them do that. Thanks Shane. It turned out to be one of the fuses (15amp). Here's a view from the top.

Another one from the top of the gap.

scott and randy, thats good to hear, we seen him on are way back, and ran into lance who went and picked him up, we was rushed for time and would have got him if Lance wasnt able to.

A pack of the "Faster" Sliver R1's ready for action. :bow

Originally posted by goodriddance scott and randy, thats good to hear, we seen him on are way back, and ran into lance who went and picked him up, we was rushed for time and would have got him if Lance wasnt able to. Yeah, Sal was in good hands. That's for sure. Everyone was willing to help him. Chuck Graves, Shane and Mike McCoy. Early Saturday morning we are getting ready to leave Chad's cabin and head out for the gap.

Here are a few more: On the way up.

1st run of the day:

Chuck doing some fine tuning just before we left the cabins.

Cooling down after a great run up the Skyway. I think Will is trying to fly. :riding

Originally posted by Anubis :hellobye :lol :owwn3d

This guy in a R6 comes pulling up while we were at the top of the gap. Yeah, that's a 300 on the rear. That's him sitting on the wall with minimal gear on.

I took this on the way up Wed. morning on 28 towards Fontana.

Originally posted by Skeeter This guy in a R6 comes pulling up while we were at the top of the gap. Yeah, that's a 300 on the rear. That's him sitting on the wall with minimal gear on. You're prolly just upset that he smoked you in the twisties... :lol :lol :lol

Originally posted by Skeeter A pack of the "Faster" Sliver R1's ready for action. :bow skeeter... I'm not one to gossip but look at the faster blue R1 in front.. so far it's almost out of the picture so you must not have seen it.. lmao

Anibus, your a peckerhead. :lol :lol :lol The tire we all need for the gap.

T-pole about to get Boxing 21 in trouble on the Honda 50 he brought up. That thing his fun as hell.

I think that's the blue one that run out of gas and got stuck there. :lol :lol :lol BK is looking and wishing he had this bike sooo bad.:no

Anibus, your killing me dude. :finger I did pretty damn good in the gap. Um, just where were you? It's chow time. Ned was the best cook the gap has to offer.

Relax BK. We are going to fix up your R1 just like that R6 with the 300 rear tire and those chrome spinners.

Originally posted by Skeeter Anibus, your killing me dude. :finger I did pretty damn good in the gap. Um, just where were you? It's chow time. Ned was the best cook the gap has to offer. Yeah, yeah.... just rub it in....... :cryin

Chuck Graves doing the question and answer session for us. He provided useful information on suspenison settings, break in, steering dampers, the mechanics of what goes on inside of a race engine and tires and tire pressure just to name a few.

Skeeter (far left in the red), T Pole, GPD270 and Jeff sitting in front of the sign, boxing 21 in the red leathers on the right and Southern 118 or "Pork Chop" standing to the far right.

Packed and heading for home via Tenn. Sunday morning about 7:30 AM. This time I get to run the gap in the truck and let the bike take a break. A big change with the truck and bike in the back.

Originally posted by Skeeter Made it home about 8:30 PM after taking a little tour through TN to pick up some major fireworks ($250.00 worth) for our big 4th of July party. AHHHH... so that's what you were doing. I was right behind you on US129 until you turned off on 74? (I think that was it). I gave you a couple honks and a wave. Did you see me?

Did you see me? Yeah, I thought that was you behind me. As you got closer I was pretty sure. I took 74 on over to 441 then ran it down to North Georgia and cut over to I-75. Glad you were able to make it to the gap this year.

Chuck knew he would have a lot of technical questions to answer so he was well prepared and brought along Yamahas latest high-tech piece of equipment.

Good morning conventioneers! You guys are lurking and posting pretty early this morning. Of course if we were at the Gap, Ken and I would be up and hitting it already!

Great pics Skeeter , Thanks ! Now as far as the 300 on the R6 , I have never denied being a poser , and those spinners were off the hizzle fo shizzle !:D

Originally posted by ZRider Good morning conventioneers! You guys are lurking and posting pretty early this morning. Of course if we were at the Gap, Ken and I would be up and hitting it already! Yea, Ned had me all over the damn place. Every day I started wanting that "Monkey Butt" power more and more.

Got a pic of the bad ass Z after I got drenched.

This is Chuck moving too damn fast, so I had to get a shot early...

Well, got to get to work. I will post some more pics once I get home. I was great meeting all of you guys. :thumbup Chad, my pic was of your back tire. You were going to fast for my cheap digi cam.:(

I can't wait to see more Ken... I know you and Ned setup a few times... Ned... I had a few people noticing your excessive scratching.. you might need another visit the free clinic... lmao

I had a great time... got home safe and sound and soaked by 6:30pm on Friday night.... I left the crossroads at 8:30am and rode my bike straight the whole time, only stopped for gas and bathroom breaks. Too bad I didn't get to meet the guys that showed up late. It was really great to meet you all, and thanx for all the free beer, haha. Anyone else do a night run from Fontana into Robinsville... now THAT was insane!!

Matt, looks like you got home 2 hours earlier than planned. Glad the ride home was uneventful. Thanks again for the photo shop.

Originally posted by motopsyko32 nice pics. did anyone wheelie the 50 around the lot? Earache of all people spent his share on it. T Pole did all the wheelies.

Here are some of my pics. Brian, me, and Lance.

BKR1 ended up having a great day after Lance (T-Pole) let him ride his nice and reliable 4 stroke YZF426:D

More at Tellico

Shot of us at our cabins haning out.

Ah, finally the one we have all been waiting for. The before and after pic of Shane's bike. Before the Gap:epimp Notice the nice bright yellow strip:D

Now for the after the Gap pic. :riding. Notice the lack of yellow stripe:D

One more for good measure.;). BTW, Shane is a lot more brave than most. Most guys would not even consider taking a bike like that through the Gap:yesnod

Here is pic of the two R7's with the clean R1's next to them.

Some pics of people going through the Gap..... Thought this was Chad, but then it was too late....

Don't know who this is.........

Did anyone get pictures of the fireball wreck on the Skyway? I saw the burned area but did not take any pictures.

Originally posted by Darkangel I will have to check. What color gear where you wearing??? Blue and White, I looked like a power ranger. Remember, I was the guy you talked to, I said "you must be DarkAngel" cause you were our only member who showed up and wasn't a cracker. Ian

Carlos, thanks again for the meds.

Yeah Plastic is expensive, Simpson makes a Expoy that you use to hold the Bolts into the concrete they sell the expoy for 22.50, the dispensing Gun for 59.99 and get this the plastic tip 6 of them for 16.44. (all they are is plastic tips to dispense the product) WTF! China makes this stuff for cents.... GHEY!

wazzzzup! got a few pics resized. so here is what i got so far.

Damn, Im so envious. Looks like you guys had a great trip. I wish the gap wasnt so far away. Maybe I can figure out a way to get back there sometime.

next 1

kool & the gang

this ain't the one.

Nice pics Hershell...wish I had a picture of you when you pulled up dripping like a wet dog! You were soaked but you never let a little rain bother you. Did you get to look at the video again where you and Chad came up behind me? If you get a chance, burn me a copy of the whole thing and send it to me. It was good seeing you, man you can ride the Gap. It's cool watching someone as smooth as you carving the curves.

haven't had a chance to work on the video yet.

We should get a smaller group to go back down later this summer - just to ride. Would give you and Chad more free time to enjoy yourselves.

Ian Hey don't me with Shane and Mike too much. They rode the heck out of those trick R1's. Heck they even wore the yellow stripes off of them:D Seriously, it is cool to see someone put together some cool bikes like that and actually want to go out and ride them. And even in the rain.

Originally posted by jwsmithjr Carlos, thanks again for the meds. NO PROBLEM BROTHER. I GOT MORE IF YOU NEED ANY ILL HOOK YOU RIGHT UP.:thumbup

Still no pics with me in them :( I guess being the fastest one at the gap has its disadvantages :dunno

Here's one with you in it. I know I have some more but I've got 175 pics to go through. Wish I would have taken more but you get carried away just hanging out and riding.

Well it can't be said enough how much fun it was. I can't wait to do it again soon. The fall rally would be a cool idea. Nice to meet everyone. A great big THANK YOU goes out to everyone that put forth the effort to make this happen. Even though Shanes a punk I still want to personally thank him, Mike, Jerry, and the rest of the guys at McCoys for the prizes as well as the other sponsors that donated to the pot. An individual thank you goes to Darrel at Reflex. You've earned my business when I can come up with an extra "G". Anyone that didn't get a chance to check out the quality of Darrel's work is missed out. If you buy a full set of leathers and don't go through Darrel then you've done a grave injustice. I know I spent a lot of money on a full set of Spidi's and I'm wishing I would have known then what I know now. All is good back home. Those of you that were in Daytona with us that know Steve & Sabrina...He went down on the way up to the Gap. He's ok nothing major at all he walked away from the wreck and his wife drove him to the hospital to get checked out (she was in the car behind him). Broke biggie toe & some road rash on a minor scale where his jacket raised up a little. Our stupid mistake was not wearing our boots. If he would have had his on he wouldn't have but barely a scratch on him. Anyway just an update for those of you that know him.

Whoo hoo, a pic with me in it.... finally, proof for my friends who don't believe I went :lol

yea matt you are a madd man and drove all the way down. glad you made it. i have to go to work today when i get home transfer pics from one computer to this one so i can resize them so about 11 or so you hsould have about 45 to 50 pics

I suck with names so I'm bound to screw a few up. Here is Derick (Eddy's brother) and Gabe.

Myself, Steve and Gabe

In our group we were outnumbered 3 - 2 in the TLR's favor.

Our neighbors a few doors up had some nice bikes.

Their others.

yea that old man was cool even with his slippers

Steve Kirkendoll (Biker santa) stayed wiht us for a couple of nights. Steve has some nice video's from across the country at dragginpartsvideo.com. This guy is faster on his Gold Wing than alot of us are on our R1's.

Here's another with Steve and Pauly. Steve is nearing his 1,000,000 mile mark, and boy does he have some stories.

Crankshaft and his better half. (forgot her name) (and his for that matter)

Here he is after his woman left and wasn't there to dress him.

Here he is again in action.

Carlos, Eddy and ?

Here's Don and ?. It was good to see Don again.

Dark Angel, Eric, Phil and ? , ?.

Heres Chuck putting 87 in his '04.

Saw some buggy's on the gap. That has to be fun.

Here are a few of the action photos we tried to take. Killboy, we are not.

Another one of Steve.

Heres one of Pauly.

Hows $100 for a spooled pair sound? I have the spools for your bike but don't have the bolts so you'll need to find them because I can't find them. :( Ian

Originally posted by GXRKLR Here are a few of the action photos we tried to take. Killboy, we are not. Killboy or not, those are some good pics!! :thumbup :thumbup

killboy sent me a message and said he's waiting on another of his guys to send him the rest of the pictures but that he would try to setup a package deal on his site for the photographs.. something like buy anyshots and get the R1-forum.com b-b-q shots from Ssat. night...

Originally posted by kevap Hey Jeff... hows the foot? Did you go to the doctor? :dunno no doctor. It is getting better. sore as hell today.
