Happiness is when you come whizzing around a sharp hair pin turn, tires are squealing, you look-up and see the curves ahead of you :biggthumpup:

The group that did not miss the Tenn 360 turn will be before you, as you look for the photos. Look for the fast red one. My time thru Deals Gap was at 2:34 PM. The riders with me will be before me as I was last. :cheers:

:shhh: Shhhhhhhhhhh !

:icon_doh:

I was leading that group :icon_redface: ....... that missed turn added an extra 5 miles to the scenic ride :shrug: :icon_mrgreen:

Ummmm, looking back it allowed the slow red ones to catch up :biggthumpup: :duck:

Easy, easy, easy ..... as hard as I tried I did not find any dirt roads or dead ends :icon_mrgreen: :nutkick: :moon:

Hornblower, where are you ? tell them about your GPS assistance, what happened within 5 minutes? :crackup:

That T-Rex is just bad ass! Made me go check out their web site. WOW way out of my meager price range, but they are now putting the 6 cyl from the BMW in those things. So I went and checked out the Polaris Slingshot, That thing look crazy, not available yet but I gotta try one.
Called a dealer and of course he was singing praise and said in 2016 they will have a supercharged version. My wife keeps telling me With my inability to behave and act my age, I best stay away from such things.:nono: Honest officer it seemed like a good idea at the time?:yikes:

Thanks for the compliment !!!

I WOULD NOT purchase a new T-Rex, I know way too much about these vehicles.

The BEST T-rex's in my opinion are the 2003 - 2006 units that are powered by the Kawasaki ZZR1200 engines. I ran the dragon with the RPM's in the 7000-9000 range and my temperature gauge was always on the cold side, the engine is the coldest engine ever installed on the T-Rex. The 2007-2013 models have the Kawasaki ZX1400 engines and in the first 2-3 years with the 1400 they have had over-heating issues, they have solved the problem "somewhat" but they still run on the HOT side. The BMW's dealership network and cost to maintain makes these older 1200's very attractive.

This is my third 1200cc T-Rex and was built in 2005, will be 10 years old next year and I still have a freakin blast riding the heck out of it. You can find these older units with low mileage for HALF the cost of what the new units cost and they have not changed the appearance much since the first prototype was built in 1994 by Daniel Campagna in Quebec Canada. With only approximately 500-550 units in the world, it is a rare beast.

I understand your wife's concern, I have been given 2 "performance" awards :icon_redface: by the local Blue Lights for out performing all of the other vehicles on the road :banghead:

I can certainly understand the performance awards! Not like it wouldn't attract the attention of anyone when it goes by.

Hey Dickie... is your bike lowered? It's looks pretty close to the ground when you and the misses are on it coming around that bend.

Great pics nonetheless!
