Sportbikes and filming the dragon
Hey all,
Just wondering how many of you would like to get a sportbike thru the gap? I'm working on a full video and would love to get a little bit of car action in as well. I'm an S2000 dreamer, so I'd love to feature a few S2000's in the movie. I've got a DV-M camcorder that I use that I'd be willing to let someone film with, as well as me film one of you GOOD drivers that likes to heat up the road. So anyone game? I'd honestly love to come down to the dragon on a Saturday if the weather holds and hang out w/ a few of you folks. If you don't think I'd be intruding upon your "brotherly" get together that is.
If anyone wants to see the preview to my vid feel free to download.

The end of this month? OH GEEZ NO!!!! Being on 2 wheels the elements affect me a little more than they do you 
I was thinking the dragonball meet, but any good weekend will work! It just has to warm up a wee bit. Where in K'ville do you live? I grew up in Farragut myself.

Oh thats right you don't have quite as much sheet metal around you as I do!
I'm up for it anytime just let me know.
I live off Western avenue but grew up in Village Green and went to Farragut for a couple of years. I'm an old guy though so that was back in the early 80's.
I met a guy up at the Dragon a few months back with a 929 he was having his dynoed at the shop near the crossroads. Tha wasn't you was it?

Funny, my brother lives off Western...and he graduated in '86 from Farragut We lived in Old Stage Hills...right down the road! When I was born we actually lived in Village Green, but moved like 2 years after I that in '78 I think. Geez, ya gotta wonder if my brother played with you! Haha Farrell Adams is his name btw, if you remember him. He got in trouble all the time.
I had my bike dynoe'd there, but it was in Sept of 2000. I was there alot this past year though, probably 10 or more times. Red/White/Black 929, matching leathers, white Arai helmet. But that doesn't help you much, since us sportbike guys are a dime a dozen there I do have quite a few friends there though. Ron and Nancy for one, they work the tent at the overlook. Zee lives in Knoxville, she rides a silver/black F4i. Darryl from Cookeville, rides a Green/White ZX-6R. He rents himself out as a cameraman up there, you might have seen his sign he puts on his bike!
Anyhow, we'll definitely keep in touch!
