Dragon Run

It's like an extreme caution alert not to enable you to get anywhere close to a gun or motor vehicle (maybe even an underage girl).

Yep, except the underage girl would have been pretty safe, I was too drunk to do anything with her anyway

Raz is in town and we've decided a GFudd meet thursday. Come out if you can. 8pm

We're getting kind of close here so just for an update of who is coming up Friday night.

Jon
Wilson
Rob? Have you made up your mind yet?
Danny? Are you riding with Rob?
Anybody else?

I know Jesse and crew are coming up Saturday.

P.S. I'll be at the Gfudd Thursday night

I be there as well. And yes, there will be a few cars with me Saturday.

I'm 60% sure I'll be able to go.

Reasons I can't go.
1. One back tire just recently got plugged due to a nail. I don't know how reliable a plug would be for twisty & hot road conditions. I could get it patched but then the question is finding a reputable tire shop that won't fudge my rims up trying to pry the stiff walled yoko's off and I don't want to be waiting all day at a shop just to get a patch.

2. The other rear tire has a nail an 3/4" away from the sidewall and has a weird crack in the tread. I'm not so worried about the nail however I am worried about the crack.

There's one solution that's 90% foolproof.
I just purchased a used set of stock rims that have a some tread on them but somewhat worn on the inside. I can replace the two rear rims but I'll need access to a torque wrench and some type of kick in the arse to get me off "LAZY DONTWANTTODOJACK STATUS".

Consider your arse kicked.

will, get them swapped out like you said over the phone.

i'll catch up with ya'll around noon, i'm going to follow jesse up there.

Robb, u sure u won't be able to make it friday?


I guess I'll start a list. ALL THOSE CRASHING AT MIKE'S CABIN Friday evening.

1. Mike
2. Jon
3. Wil

And I think thats about it. I guess nobody loves me anymore

Unfortunately not.

Since I don't know what time we'll be back around the merto Atlanta area on Saturday, I have to go get my mom a b'day present on Friday evening since Sunday is jam-packed with other arrangements.

I'll deff. meet ya'll up there, just gotta check with danny if he's going to be my co-pilot.

Just replaced em.

Well, just checked IA and I guess they are still going this weekend.

Wilson, where and when do you want to meet up Friday evening? And has anybody heard from Jon? I heard he was sick and maybe not coming, and haven't seen him post up in a day or two so check in if you see this Jon.

Seems plans are set like this (for now);

I'll be at the QT around 7:45am.
- I'll either go pick Danny up or he'll meet me there and we'll leave the neon in the walmart parking lot.

Jon is going to leave his car as Wilson's house and meet us there as well.

So we're all heading up around 8am and heading back to aTL the afternoon.

Okay, I've talked to everybody and Friday night is a wash. So I'll be meeting up with you guys as you come through town and we'll all convoy up there together Saturday.

Sounds good Mike.

Despite the sloooww bikers, getting there later than anticipated, and driving back half asleep, I had a great time! This time around, it was an all out guy run also, no gf's or wives, kinda felt good. It was interesting since most of us had issues or problems before or during the run but made it through.
Mike w/ worn brake pads.
Jesse and Kpro issues.
Robb w/licp dilema
Red rsx(Harry?) stripped interior.
Me just being a pansy about a plugged/patched tire and overreactive bladder. =)
Danny just being Danny.

I say we do this again but this time around, lets make hotel reservations close to the dragon.

It seems like I am Cursed by the Dragon or something... Over all these years and everytime I get close to going something happens

I ended up waking up this morning and I still wasn't well enough.

I'm not planning on going up there until after the busy season is well over. Late October or November maybe. Just too much traffic up there

I had fun.

Lower intercooler pipe blowing off twice - not so much.
Going to order some new longer couplers an new a few more t-bolt clamps tomorrow.

I'm also in need of some tires.

I really didn't have kpro issues. I think the cat is pretty much toast. Hard driving up there it made a rattling/knocking sound, just when vtec kicked in. Probably more flow. When I got home, I listened to it and it didn't make any noise. Running 5k+ rpm for extended amount made the cat hot I guess and just disentegrated the mesh inside. Time for new exhaust. Looking for stock components so I can be quiet again.

Oh, found out about the NSX guy. He's from TN, basically a motorcycle crossed the yellow line and the NSX had no place to go. The driver of the NSX had to drive a rental car back home. The biker was in the ambulance.
