The wife and I were sitting around imagining what we were going to do over the Fourth and it hit us at the same instant! Ride the Dragon's Tail in North Carolina. It's only about four hours from here and we can tow the scoots on the trailer. Sue booked us two nights at La Quinta only thirty miles from Deals Gap at $60.00/night! What a deal! The Dragon's Tail is right at the top of a beautiful mountain with something like 318 turns in just eleven miles. Here's a map:
We've decided to take the Pegasus and Sue's Silver Streak. The Peg is running absolutely flawless and Sue's Bashan is possessed by an anchient Chinese warlord that never needs repairs or maintenance. I'm scared to go near it because if I get too close a razor sharp oriental battle blade lunges out at me from underneath the centerstand. It's best to leave the unknowable be. Here's the two mighty warriors waiting to be loaded on their trailer:
Yep, you'll notice the Peg is just about naked and that's the way she's going to stay. I like my scooters naked so I can look at all the neat mechanical parts, what are they for afterall?
Speaking of naked, I had hoped to get frankie up to speed to take to the Dragon's Tail. Unfortunately the oil cooler mods are just taking longer that I thought. Here's a picture of him stripped down:
And here's a close up of where i decided to put the oil cooler. This way folks could hide it under their floorboards and still have tons of room for storage:
The last thing I'm going to do today is charge up my auxilarry power supply with air compressor, I figure that might come in handy on the trip.
Thursday I've got to get the scoots secured on the trailer. Rich
