Yeah the inclosed trailer is for OBMF and ORR if they need to store any cooking utensils. Thats the only other thing besides a broken bike and tools. If you cant pack it on your bike..I cant pack it in my trailer... |
To expand on this a little further. This chase truck is a luxury that GT has volunteered up on his own time. We need something to get the give away stuff and a few other things to the Burro. Our position is and has been... you need to be sufficient. This is 2 days of camping and riding. The Sat ride is 180mi of long stretches, a challenging curve section with some urban riding mixed in.
Pack your camping gear be prepared for any weather, this is Ohio it can change up quick. If you think you might break, pack some tools and be ready to start wrenching don't rely on GT to be your hero (he is handsome mind you).
Having said all this there are some very talented builders/mechanics and all around good dudes coming so help should not be far away. And if you legitimately break then GT has your back.

When Juan turns around and says, "It's about to get really curvy, keep up if you can but be careful."
BE READY and DON"T RIDE PAST YOUR ABILITY!!!!!

LOL OBMF had a saying after the first run at those curves about courage and old age but I don't recall what it was.
We will be holding GoFast lessons sat if you think that's the group you want to roll with,

By the way, I'M NOT THAT GUY! The Kikker is up and running!
However, I'm only good for Saturday into Sunday (work obligations Saturday morning).
I'm gonna try to pick up the run as you come through Fairborn.

"There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there aren't many old bold bikers"... or something like that. I know there are guys who brag about scraping the floorboards all the time on their Roadstars on another forum, but they haven't ridden with the GoFast! crew...  Those curves are deceptive, especially if you don't know 'em. I'm getting a little better at reading opening curves and closing curves. But I'll still be taking it easy...

GT what you're planing is good enough, again we don't want people depending on the chase truck, it's a "just in case" deal. I know of the other trailer but you're the "official" one at this point.

LOL That's it!
I think most bikes will take way more that the average rider can throw at it. If you choose the right line and you got the timing right. Confidence in that goes a long way!
Then again when in doubt gas it out LOL!
