oh i thought since you've been in vietnam for a while you'd forget some english.

 

LEK... Finally got my account back, I was a premier memeber but I lost that I guess. (expired)

Im down to go one the dragon run, and trust me I am more than qualified.

 

welcome bro. check out the happy hour thread we're having one this week like always.

 

This lady LOVES her Pontiac!!




Why shouldn't she? It's a neat little car.


But...She can't drive.

So it was me who flipped their Solstice on the Tail of the Dragon.

One correction to the reported incident - it was not raining at the time of the wreck - although I did get drenched by a brief thunderstorm as I waited for the wrecker to come and haul away my car.

As far as a description of the incident, I was coming up on a left hand curve on the Dragon and took the curve too wide. My right tires went off the pavement into the gravel along the side of the road. Unfortunately, I was unable to get my wheels back onto the road, and the car headed down into a slight ditch and up a sharp incline, which rolled the car over.

When the car came to rest, I was conscious and generally uninjured, but my left forearm was pinned between the top of the headrest and the ground. Luckily for me, a fellow Solstice owner was driving along behind me, and several motortcylists also stopped to help out. After a few moments of panic where I tried to dig the dirt out from around my trapped arm, a group of volunteer helpers gathered around to lift the side of the car up enough so that I could pull my arm out. Once I was unstuck, I was able to crawl free through the passenger door, which my rescuers were able to pull open.

I am amazingly uninjured, other than a little swelling and tenderness in the arm that was pinned. But no broken bones, head trauma, etc. Hardly even any scratches or bruises. My Baby was sacrificied, but gave its life to keep me safe. These cars are just amazing in how well they are designed to save us from injury.

Pictures probably give a better idea of the terrain, so here are a few for those who can handle it...

This is how the car ended up:

Bump you guys still doing this? Don't sound like it.

oh ok, well f*** it then, i'll wait for you guys in sept. for nopi. yo, brotha from another motha, you coming down too?

 

It's unfortunate that roads like this are swarmed with bikes day in and day out. The only foreseeable time to get a car on such a road is late-LATE at night or when it's to cold to drive the bike anymore.

Such is the case with the Kangamangus (spelling?) Hwy up near me in NH. It's much harder for a car to pass a bike then a bike to pass a car. I'm sick of even going to that place anymore.

Back where I went to school in PA there was a highway, unbeknown to many drivers. It was about a 10 minute long hill climb. Yahoo! Maps Alternatively, you can look up Ronovo, PA and head south on Rt.144.

 

if everything goes well with this new job of mine sure...
