It looks like it's for the July 26th date.

What you should do is set it up for a date in the distant future. That way people can keep that in mind when they schedule stuff around it. Only a month or less of notice is bound to have people deal with other stuff.

Having said that, I have some unfinished business to settle with the Dragon. I went down on my motorcycle while I was there last time. It's payback time so I'm coming.

P.S. Let's pick a different date so we have more people coming.

I need a better suspension setup before tackling the Dragon again. Our little mountain run in north Georgia isn't as windy as the Dragon's.

So, are we settling for Aug. 2nd?

it's definitely dangerous - not gonna lie. i've seen some bad stuff and it sometimes scares me enough to park the bike for a bit.

my wife doesn't like me riding either but when i do i ALWAYS gear up and ride "responsibly" within my limits.

also, if you're a speedfreak and love knee-draggin' - you could always do track days. they're cheap and way safer than the streets.

yea I use to go to Buckhead and watch some of the street races they had down there. Saw some bad stuff. I don't even think I would be a speed freak, I think it would be a good change from driving a car everyday. I think I'll take her to a nice restaurant and go from there...LOL

I would love to go....but had issues with getting the Tein springs so never got those and now the car is in the shop getting repaired. Something is wrong with the motor so right now I am the proud owner of a TSX..... ...(which sucks major balls) until my TL gets repaired(under warranty).

nah you were right. before the GSXR i had a CBR (used it in my previous avatar). although i'm a Honda fan it wasn't as comfy as the GSXR (i used to spend A LOT of time on the bike and comfort was important).

your bike was stolen?! damn that blows!!

Well just went to pick up the TL....apparently what was wrong was the timing belt tensioner? Never heard of one going out before and the guy said the same. They also threw in a new water pump since they had to remove it to get behind the timing belt....my guess is they fudged it up and had to replace it too.....

.....what was more "mysterious" was a large trailer that they had in the back.....I asked the manager(good friend) if they had just gotten a shipment of new cars and he said no....I asked him if that's how they ship their cars out and he said no....so I went for a wild guess and said if he knew anything about the new TL...he said they were preparing for the presentation this Friday. He told me part of the presentation was in the trailer....hmmm......since I'm off from work on Friday.....I told him I might stop by....he just smiled and said yeah....right....

I think these assholes have a new TL in that trailer.....I wish I could sneak a peek.....

We have some local members who knows how to clear headlights. We just need to schedule some time to do so since I don't know of any place that'll do that for us.

Dude count me in for that as well. I'd love to do that and not pay the 200-300 dollars everyone wants to charge.

David, how long does it take to clear and smoke your headlights? I'm wondering if we can do it in a day for roughly 8 people or so with plenty of day light left.
