I finally got 2 more of the videos from Hubby’s trip yesterday transferred to the computer. Like the other one, these are both the raw copies without any editing. They’re also lower resolution versions to make it easier for my friend on a slow connection. I’ll have the better versions up later!

Anywho the first one is Alli following Hubby from the lookout to the Crossroads of Time, and the 2nd is the ride back up to the lookout. This isn’t the full 11 miles and 318 curves, but it’s the typical section most people ride. There’s another couple miles past the lookout that is still considered part of the 318 curves in 11 miles. Allison’s filming from an 07 Yamaha r6, and Hubby’s riding our ‘06 Yamaha yzf 600r.

These are from a Wednesday, and most of the time a mid week trip is a lot nicer than this. I couldn’t believe how packed out the place was on a week day! Normally there’s no one around! You’ll also notice in the first video there’s a section where there are a few Blount Co. cars sitting on the side of the road. So far the cops are being cool this year. They’re helping to escort transfer trucks (which you can plainly see shouldn’t be on this road) and keeping an eye on things.

I didn’t get to go to Deal’s Gap today, but I did get to enjoy the video footage. I’m still transferring, cutting, and uploading, but I’ve got one uploaded. Enjoy this one while I work on the others. These are the unedited versions, so feel free to forward through.

Alli had the camera mounted on her r6 most of the day, and there will be a few videos of her following Hubby.

After Hubby gets home we’re going to a friend’s house tonight to install a new security system.  We all agreed her basement is the “community garage”, and at any given time she has at least 5 or 6 bikes stored in there.  She needs some kind of setup to make sure her bikes, tools, and everyone else’s bikes and tools are safe.  She finally bought a security system that should help with that.

I’m not sure if it’s an ademco, but I do know it’s got the security features plus the two way intercom.  That means no more having to walk upstairs to ask a question or find something.  We’ll just hit the speaker button!  Yeah, it might be laziness, but I think we’re all going to love that feature!

It’s going to be such a beautiful day today! Hubby took the day off to make a day trip to Deal’s Gap with one of our friends. He’s finally going to swing by Wheeler’s Shop this morning to get his suspension setup. That’s something he’s needed to do for a long time, but he’s just been lazy about it. As many times as the guys at the shop here have messed things up, I don’t trust them touching it.

If you’re ever at the Gap and need something, Wheeler’s is a great place to stop, but I recommend getting your suspension setup to everyone. Wheeler’s only charges $25 to do it. Remember all bikes come from the factory setup for the default weight. It’s normally somewhere in the 160-170lbs range. If you weigh more or less there’s a good chance your suspension could be adjusted to give you a better ride. The wrong suspension settings can throw everything off.

Hubby and I were joking around tonight. We’re supposed to go back to Deal’s Gap on Wednesday, and he was joking about different ways to finally make the front page of Killboy. He swears everyone he knows has made Killboy except him. Alli makes it almost every time she goes up there, but she’s a chick on a bike. Therefore she’s always “chickonabike”. Last week she made it from “chicksonabike” (of course another chick riding with her), and then she made it again for being the coolest mama, letting Little A ride with her.

I jokingly mentioned to Hubby that he could make it by posting my blog address all over his bike, and he decided it was a great idea! Free advertising for me, and he makes it onto front page!

Now that we’ve discussed it I thought hey, it’s not a such a bad idea after all. I’ve got a ton of blogs, and some of my blogs earn a good portion of my income. I advertise them in other ways, business cards, fliers, online advertising, so why not on the bike?

VistaPrint offers the perfect solution! I can order custom magnets! I already order business cards from VistaPrint, and I know their quality is excellent. They make car magnets, and I’m sure I could probably special order a specific magnet size if a car magnet is too large!
