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?

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"

      Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
