Ninja 250 Rally 2012 Asheville, NC August 2-5

Rode with the group Friday from Asheville NC on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the top of Mount Mitchell, Rt. 80 (Devil's Whip), Pineola for lunch, by Grandfather's Mountain, back to Asheville on the BRP. I headed home at Pineola, NC. I'm sure there will be many photos posted after the event.

Enjoyed riding with everyone today:

Who needs a therapist when you got 2 wheels, a tank full of gas and a county full a twisty mountain roads. 741 miles later and I'm good to go for another 8 months (start of next riding season).

I have had great loads of fun for the last 3 days riding around with a good group of guys who love to freakin' ride. jfauerba & exploring/carolina are great guides and can ride like crazy. Their knowledge of the area roads was great. Definitely a good balance of curves, hills, straights and awesome scenery. All that made for a great mini vacation. Thanks guys!

And I can't forget about my man, EsrTek (Eric), who hooked us up with a free hotel stay for 3 days. How awesome is that? Much appreciated!!

John (jfauerba) & Nate (Reph) it was nice meeting you guys for the first time. Keep in touch.

Once again another awesome Ninja 250 Rally. If ya missed it, well ya missed a damn good ass time. ......Again

I had a blast and learned a great deal from all of you. I really had to figure out my turn lines and how to lean off the bike to turn. Tweaked my throttle control as well. Thx for the experience!
