Recommended Posts

Recently had a chance to ride my motorcycle for the first time thru some new areas. This years 1 day ride include Montgomery, AL, Cherhola Skyway TN, Tail of the Dragon TN/NC, Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte), Everbank Field in Jacksonville. 

After leaving Montgomery at 2:36 in the morning, seeing some beautiful scenery in TN finally made to Charlotte around 6:30 PM. Was hoping to contact somebody on the forum so I/or the bike could be in the picture but I was running behind schedule.Total miles Day 1 1035 miles.

Awesome pics!  A close, long time family friend, Don Tilley, ended up passing away from a motorcycle accident on mountain roads thanks to gravel.  It's not always the speed and curves that get you.  

A guy I work with knew him really well.  His wife got hurt pretty badly to, from what I understand.  Couldn't even go to his funeral.  Very sad story.  Seems like the Tilley HD shop is still going strong.

On two wheels gravel's almost as bad as an oil slick. Only time I ever laid a bike down.

Robinette was in ICU for a long time, and will have a tough life going forward.

Awesome pics and looks like you had a great and safe ride. Nothing better. I haven't been able to get on mine in about 3 years because of back and neck issues. Finally getting a little better and hoping to be able to go on a ride in a few weeks.

I've been to BoA twice now, but never taken the tour, nor had a chance to look too closely at the Panthers' statues.  What are the names inscribed on the base of the statues?  Player rosters?

    • I think you've taken my comment out of context as well. I never implied that his father being a psychologist would make him a better leader or make him a psychologist. If your dad is a lawyer, you're more likely to be exposed to law. If your dad is a doctor you're more likely to be exposed to medicine that's all.  My question is, why did you take my comment that way? 
    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
