Deals Gap?

[IR8D8R]

Mark,
 After you left yes. I was setting up for an inside curve going down the hill and my glove stuck to the throttle grip when I reached for the brake and blipped at the wrong time. It stood me up and I went straight into the ditch. Still getting used to the super sensitive throttle response of the FI bike. I was in "A" mode and it's worse on that setting. Somebody makes a progressive throttle mod to lessen the effect.

...I probably won't use it. Others have the same issue.

Yeah I was probably going too hard but I was having fun. I have been using Nike 'Barry Bonds' batting gloves because I like the feel and fit. They are super grippy and so are the handgrips. What I needed at that moment was slip not grip. Probably I should get purpose motorcycle gloves.

The ditch fortunately was lined with duff, leaves, rotten wood, and not rocks. I stayed in the seat until it stopped so the bike doesn't have a scratch except for a dent in the header. I got very lucky. Kept riding...

I JUST texted Chuck to see if he is in on sharing a room again. If he is I am coming and staying again for sure. If not, I am still coming up for sure just not sure where I will stay.

Last year my wife and I came up 2 weeks after the last meet with the Goldwing AND my RD. We stayed at the Fontana resort. After riding all day with her I would go out right before dusk and no one was on the roads. Best riding on the gap ever.

Hello guys, AJ here. I was thinking about going again this year, but I left my very old visa expire early last year. Right  now the US embassy here in Brazil is working at a snail's pace because of covid. I don't think I'll be able to get my visa renewed in time. All you guys have a great time there!!

Good to see you posting AJ!

Hope all you guys are doing very very well!! I constantly remember all the great conversations we had at the meet.
I haven't done any air travel last year, I can't even imagine the craze it must be right now on the airports and places with a lot of people. Unfortunately my Visa will probably require an interview, because I forgot about it for almost a year now. All the USA embassies here were always very busy before covid, sometimes you had to book 3 months in advance. I don't know if I'll be able to get it done in time for the meet.

here's hoping. good luck!

AJ, I used to work with students from all over the world. The best advice you can get is #1 DON'T USE AN AGENT!!! They will just take your money. #2 Go on the US consulate web site for your country and follow their instructions to the letter. Re-read the instructions (they change from time to time). Having a COVID vaccine is probably going to be required. Would love to see you here this year. I live about an hour's ride from 129.
