Taped up some essential spots and threw the rack on to carry a spare. Something about 700 miles without a spare worried me.



Was traveling down I85 when we saw this creepy looking motel off of the highway.



Ended up taking the next exit and jogging down to the motel to snap a picture of it.

For some reason, the GPS took us a completely different route this year but it was pretty interesting. Saw:

- Naval Academy
- Quantico (anyone know what that crazy statue is near Quantico? Looked like some crazy architecture with nothing in it.)
- Marlboro HQ
- BMW HQ in South Carolina

Ran into this random peach water tower somewhere on I85 through South Carolina:



Had to wash the windshield off every time we'd fuel up:



Finally made it to Helen after 700 miles of driving through the night.



Met up with my buddy Allen and his girlfriend, Becca. Note how empty the lot was. I like arriving early before the madness starts.

Some chose to party, some chose to sleep: :laugh:



Dinner that night... BBQ Chicken pizza with some bacon:



Parking lot was still dead:



Ran into my buddy Jordan (who just told me tonight that his car is for sale):



Parking lot started filling up:



Mike Barry's car looking proper:



Friday morning the girlfriend and I decided to make the 90 mile trip to Robbinsville, NC to run the Dragon.



The run north bound was so-so because we kept getting behind SUVs and non-driving motorcycle riders.

However, the run south bound... I'll just let the picture do the talking:



R34 Skyline... dude could drive. You could smell the race fuel for miles and it was shooting flames the entire 11 miles.

Me being... me.



At the end of the Dragon:



Had to give her a proper break in.



Quick video of my girlfriend trying to capture the flames:




Had a good lunch at Deal's Gap before heading back:



Ran into the world's biggest motorcycle on the ride back. Guy was telling me it was on a Discovery show called Big:



Saw that same bike back in 2008 when my MKV was bone stock:

I've been attending dub shows for over a decade and I've never seen a place get that crazy. Some of the behavior was kind of awkward and a bit shameful at times, but other parts of it were pretty damn entertaining. Anyone got pics of the madness?

I was the guy giving High Fives to everyone I saw on Saturday night BTW. Other than that I think I contained myself pretty well. ;) ]]> SOWO - Southern Worthersee j.

I have read posts on the forum for the last few days and would like to thank you for attending and want to thank you for the positive attitudes regarding LE and the problem kids. I would like to respond and clear up some questions. First off regarding the call in of the GSP, our Agency has a total of 9 fulltime and 2 part time Officers. Due to shift assignments and 2 of those 9 working Security over night at the site, we are stretched thin. Friday night at the time of the problems we had only 4 Officers in the City for service, yep just 4. We needed help fast and that's why the call was made. Our Officers were told to give your members breathing room, I know myself overlooked 30 violations on Thursday alone. Remember if an Officer makes an arrest he will be out for over an hour, now make that 2 or 3 well you get the picture. The Officer on the 4 quad (a present from a local business) by Friday night had worked 14 hours had to drive 30 miles home to sleep for 5 hours to come back for another 16. I enjoyed talking and waving at a great bunch of folks, the GSP said they really enjoyed it. I have not spoken with Matt or Chris since the event (its ok guys you can call). As it stands now, it will be up to SoWo if you return, I cant speak for the City Commissioners, but I think they are willing. Now there will be changes and they will be discussed. It is my hope more dumpster will be put out. Upon speaking with the GSP Supervisor and some Commissioners, we would like to set up a burn out area or 2 and charge a small fee, this would be a secure location (crowd control). Also establish some type of paid sticker to allow you to drive on Edelwiess, controlled by your staff. Staff members working / riding with us for control. As for the Church video, Mr. "H" we know who you are and where you live, nice DL photo too. Our staff are willing to again work with you in 14.

No I didn't check because lets face it I stared at it long enough on the wall when I was deciding so why stare at it more. Realized after the 9hr drive home. :banghead:

Come find out a friend asked for the same shirt and again got the mk6 shirt.

Come on Dubkorps! Where did you pick those girls up from? A kindergarten? Obviously they cant read, or maybe listen. Or don't know the difference between a mk1 and a mk6, and therefore should go back to working at Macy's. :laugh:
