Thanks for the words of praise DJ! I was just trying to make a good impression w/o getting out of control. Next year at the GAP is going to be off the hook!!
MP made a good point. The real deal is to go there, ride the GAP, have fun, hang out, drink, party down, sleep and do it all over again for about 5 days straight!!!! I'm thinkin in '05 the WOS GAP ride is going to be about 10-20 deep! Especially with the TWF support and riders!!!
Jetski, the other problem about riding to the GAP is this... If you ahve a mechanical problem, then you're screwed!!! If, God for bid, you go down and F somin on the bike or yourself up, you're screwed!!! If you go down in the GAP and need to get back to the hotel and get tools and parts from a dealer and such, and you don't have the means to haul the bike to where ever, you're screwed!!! See my point?!?!
Trailer/truckin the bikes down there is always the best decision. Now if there are a few guys that feel like riding down there, good but it is always best to have room on the truck/trailer to allow them to hitch a ride back...or we play musical bike rider all the way back to MI!!!
