I'm sorry but I kinda giggled at that statement.
I'll be there but possibly only going to the Hess and back. Kinda sucks cause I already have the part memorized but I may have some plans which would mean I need to be back by a certain time. I may bring my camcorder also, I may not. I prob won't if I'm not doing the 2nd part of the run. I may even be 2 up again. I DUNNO! SO MANY UNKNOWNS right now.
As far as new people on the ride... Yesterday I brought out two first timers with me. They checked their egos at the Marathon gas station, got left behind at every corner, and caught back up at the stop signs. And ya know what? They DIDN'T wreck. I informed them ATLEAST 10 times to check their egos at the door and don't even THINK about trying to keep up with the person in front of you. If you can do that, your chances of survival are much greater. Also, DON'T bring a passenger with you if you and your passenger don't know what you're doing. There was also a guy on a busa who isn't on this board that went off the road on two consecutive turns (the first twisties in the neighborhood. Seriously, the FIRST turn into the neighborhood he went off, then the next turn. He managed to stay up though) If it's your first time, keep it simple, and just be one of the last in line to leave the gas station.
Did I really just type all that up? "blah blah blah" I think somewhere in there I said I was coming.
