East Coast Spring Rally Attendance?

[rktmanfj]

Definitely an "interesting" evolution.

Just got parts on order from Zanotti's.  The mechanical seal is $19. (Woody's wanted $29).  Also ordered o-rings, as well as cam chain tensioner, rear pads, crush washers, etc.

Thanks again!

An "interesting" rally for you all around, huh Chris?           




It was great to see you again!

Chris,
What were you doing that netted a $10 fine?  Doesn't sound very bad.

19E, is that the road running west to southweat out of Shady Valley?  Like when headed down to Roan Mountain, the infamous site where the dog backed the truck over Andy's FJ?

Please provide more details.

The infraction was crossing the double yellow while passing cars that were pulling over on the side of the road, with signals on, and kicking out rocks, etc.

hornets nest got kicked and Chris ran right into it.

There was a somewhat dicey double yellow pass on that same car in front of the ranger.  Ranger couldn't get to the front man so he had to settle for Chris.  kind of a bum rap.  Under normal circumstances doubt he would have pulled anyone for the move Chris made.

Well I got back from the ECSR only to be laid off from my one part-time job. oh well gives me more time to devote to my other part-time job and to the horse and FJ.

Without checking a map, for some reason I remember the directions out of Shady Valley as; "91 to 19 to 194"

What's that incredible downhill road where Chris and I got accidently mixed in with the fast group?  I want to say 181?

Awesome road!  I miss the rallies.  :-(
Hopefully the freakin tornadoes will go away and I'll get a few quality miles in Arkansas next week.

Yep, that's one way back to Boone from there.

Good memory!  What'd you have for breakfast?   

If you want to go over Roan Mtn, hang a right on 143.

it was my stick that rattled the hornets nest.  i was in front in a double yellow straightaway, there was a slow car in front, i went to pass, and as soon as i got out into the uncoming traffic lane to pass, the park ranger was coming the opposite direction.  of course i was on full throttle to make the pass so i continued around, it wasn't close or anything, but obviously i was observed making a pass on a double yellow.  i assumed he saw me do it and kept an eye on my mirrors for the flashing lights but never saw them.  i figured he'd have clicked them on right away, which the rest of the group would have then seen and become model citizens, but he didn't.  i truly figured he'd swung around and i was just waiting to see the lights to pull over, but didn't, so figured he didn't think it was worth it...

[Klavdy]

Ah, the master of understatement: "it wasn't close or anything,"
Just enough to piss off a Park Ranger.
I love you Deano,you 'splain things real good.
How come Park Rangers can give you  tickets, it doesnt look like a park where the photo is?
Or can they give traffic stuff out wherever?
It's confusing for a visitor, the law enforcement deal in the U.S, bloody hell, even the RSPCA and Postal workers have black & white patrol cars and are armed.

Be a bit embarrassing getting pulled over by a dog catcher,,,

[Pat Conlon]

Hey Deano....That move sounds familiar. Question: Was Henry with you?

we were on some type of park grounds although it may not have looked like it.

hah, pat, yes, as a matter of fact, he was.  he motioned to me, it looked like "go ahead and pass, it's fine, you're fine".  ( :
