You're right.  That does look like Bacon riding the bike. 

No lean.

Fun.  But, the bike rider wasn't leaning very hard in the corners.  He looked like me riding!  Whimp

That was absolutely ridiculous.

he is some crazy frenchman...there's a couple of youtubes of him going down various roads around the world

I think he should cover himself with snow boards and do some ski slopes too  :)

staged... [roll]

The bike should of ran over him at the end.  Just like Vicki on Fifth Gear did when she raced an RC car and lost.  [popcorn]

Yeah, IZ... I don't remember seeing too much of you in my mirrors on the DIMBY ride...  You must have been hanging with DanTheMan.  :-*     ;D

Yeah, I was stuck behind him.  But I was keeping up fine after passing him and Carl.  Plus, keeping up on the ride to Carl's house..even over jumps with a full load.

Yeah, I still feel kinda bad about that... I shoulda warned about that bridge.  Didn't mean for you to go all "Isle of Man" over it.  Well, maybe...  [evil]

The important thing is that you made it back to Phoenix for the birth of your son!  [thumbsup]

True, but still..that would not have happened had the bags not stayed secured!!  Thankfully, I did that test run with the pack prior to leaving for CA which immediately prompted me to go out and buy 10 more bungees!!   ;)

I wouldnt be teasing those guys too much there BC.  I had time to get off my bike, take my lid and gloves off, get the camera out of the tank bag, and still had to wait a couple minutes for you guys to pass by.  :-*

The ride was over by then... I was riding one handed, going slow.  I wanted to make sure the guys who'd never been up there didn't miss the right turn in the middle of the tunnel.  ;)

But whatever.  I'll let you bag on me. It's cool.

At least I didn't sell my Duc for a "reliable" Japanese motorcycle.  With a Harley mudflap. And cupholders.  That pours gas outta the carbs.  And stalls.  Then won't start.   [thumbsup]

:-*

Just say'n...  ;D

That tunnel got me on the way back down with the car coming through it.

Btw...Orange..send me a PM when you get a chance. I can't send one on the BlackBerry but I can read and respond to them. Thanks

Ya, that tunnel is tricky... Luckily for me, the first time through it, I was stuck behind a parade of Harleys, so I could see the turn in the tunnel.

Hey,  Whaddya know... Harleys are good for something!  [laugh]


How's the little man doing?

Let's touch base on Saturday...  (if you get the beast running...)   ;)
