Going to Laconia Bike Week from Florida???

Hmmmm....you told me you'd never do it again. Not the support I was looking for!

Lloyd said Mt Washington was "wicked." Does wicked mean good or bad?

[lloydmoore1]

Yes Mt Washington was wicked and I do mean "wicked Good". We did it last year and one guy stopped on the way up and was having a moment! I known this guy for 15yrs and never knew he was that scared of heights. He said he was good until he stood on his pegs to look off the side but he made it after some encouraging words. It can get busy especially with the tour vans going up and down but worth the slow ride to the top.
Last year it was closed on Saturday for a bunch of crazy people who were running up it. We went back on Sunday on our way home.
Teach if you think I had some funny expressions you would die to meet this crew that is riding down with me. I actually have to sometimes double take and think '' what is he trying to say???''

Suezanna likes Mt Washington. But she's BA like that. I hated every second. I didn't think I was gonna get my fingers loose from the grips.

Anyone who stands on their pegs to look over the side should get pushed over the side. That's just ridiculous.

Hey I have a hard enough time understanding Northerners to begin with!!!

I rode up Mt Washington on my Yamaha FJR , and my hubby was on a Buell 1125R. I was fine going up, until we got stuck behind a tour bus who kept stopping on steep sections of the DIRT road near the top and we were doing our best just to keep moving forward and not lose traction! It was very foggy on the way up too, could not see anything. On the way down the fog lifted and you could see how steep it was down the side of the mountain! Hubby was NOT enjoying it, all he wanted to do was get down! He said he would not do it again. I "might", if I knew that I would not get stuck in tour bus (its really a 15 passenger van type thing) traffic and stop & go traffic on the dirt parts!

Hi Folks;

So I'm still interested in seeing if there is anyone out there planning to ride up to NH and looking for some riding company. I'm planning on leaving Tuesday the week before and taking my time riding up. No Iron Butt ride....
