I have DSL and Firefox....but I swear sometimes you'd never know it as slow as my pc is sometimes! (Not slow like dial up though

I went to defrag and my pc said I didnt need to.I did it anyway,didnt help much.

I probably do need to upgrade the flash though Undecided

Not sure what else would help! Roll Eyes

Apparently something that I'm not aware of.
(I have 70% free memory also! )

The dragon video,once I opened in a new window did pretty good...but one of the videos I couldnt open in a new window,it didnt do real good...but did okay) At least I got to see it Wink

I'll probably figure out the problem, when I have more time.

Just amazing - sorry I missed it. Didn't know, didn't have the bike!

I actually bicycle 129 over the mountains fairly regularly. It used to be a little known road when I started. I'd take my BMW car over sometimes, heat up the tires. Stop at the little store. Fellow had a huge brim stuffed there, told me how to catch them.

But I've not ridden a motorcycle over.

It's a good bicycle road for sure. I'll get more used to my Savage and get my front tire & carb straight then ride over to see my friend in Robbinsville. Sometimes I'll have someone going over to NC drop me off at the store or over at Fontana, then bicycle back to my store. I think it's only 50 miles. Doesn't take too long.

Actually the route to 129 from my store is on one of the Honda Hoot routes. Some great curvy roads. My store is on a straight bit, Unitia Road coming out of Friendsville. Then climbs a little hill, beautiful curves. Can wiggle over to 95 towards the mountains, hit 411 and then wind over to 71 and intersect 129.

Foothills Parkway is also a nice drive, and the Cherahola Skyway.

Would have been great to hear a bunch of thumpers!

Sounded like a good wilderness ride I like places like that,that dont look like they've been touched much.

Here's 35 minutes of the Cherohala Skyway. Just click on the rainbow bars. No music though, if you would like me to add your favorite songs --email me the mp3 files and I'll add them and repost the video. Notice how as we got higher (4,000 ft above sea level) the clouds got REALYY dark! We ran from those clouds all the way back to Deals gap!

Enjoy the ride and the scenery
