No... She was a pillion. I got passed by someone with a passenger
Thanks for all the tips. That's one of the reasons I posted pics. I know Fretless33 is one of our track riders and I was looking for tips. After reviewing the pics, I know I ride the hell out of the line. I was able to see through the turns... but I should practice staying center. Really.... keep the tips coming.
I do not have proper gear for knee dragging. I learned quickly to tuck my toes in the first time my left foot dragged. I hope to go back soon (maybe in June) and I’ll play around more since I know my faults now.

Too many questions to answer in one reply:
I didn't buy any pics from moonshinephoto. The top collage are the ones from their site... I did the screen shot and paste thing. The full size pics are with my new Nikon D50 with a Tamron 28-300 lens. We wanted to make sure we had some pics and wanted to see how we looked (for mistakes and so on)... so we found a good spot and took a few of our own. My buddies gixxer 750, aka. the hatch back.... has tons of room in the tail for my camera. He's the best rider so I never worry about him having the camera. I nicknamed his bike the hatch back because we carry his .40 and my 9MM with extra shirts, sodas.... and so on at the same time. I used bubble wrap and t-shirts to protect the camera.

If possible... try to plan if for a weekday. That is if you want less traffic. The weekends are packed and also they have lots of events. Look at dealsgap.com and make sure you want to hang out with that crowd. For example, Hog Nationals will be there during 8-10 June. I'd avoid that weekend, but Honda hoot will be 21-24 June. That might be fun. I'll be back on 3-5 of June, if everything works out right.
The weather is also a major factor. It changes quickly and is very unpredictable. The Saturday I was there was supposed to have thunder storms all day. We took the chance that Sunday was going to be dry enough (no rain predicted) and was planning to ride that day. Saturday was clear and up to the low 80's and it rained all day Sunday. Go weather man!!!

How close are you? I'm looking at maybe going down on Friday and leaving Monday. My brother and some of his friends are planning riding there on Saturday, touring the area on Sunday and riding home on Monday. I might talk my friend into trailering down on Friday so we have all day Saturday to ride hard until the Gold Wings show up and slow things down a bit. I will do a lot more "touring" of the area this time. My friend is new to riding so he needs to take it easy and we will be taking the wives as well. Let me know what your plans are and we can meet up to say hi at the Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort end to say hi.

Hey don, let me know for sure about that first weekend in june. i live about 2 hours from the gap, we usually get together 7-10 bikes and go up for the day. You are so right about the police, the only time i've ever seen one in there was when my buddy put his zx-6 into the cliff rocks, and man talk about being out of touch, thank god for a redneck with a cb. The place is great though, I'm glad you enjoyed it, someone also mentioned the skyway, if your up here for a few days try it also, it's a blast.
