does your family live in one of those resort type towns in the mountains? just wondering because the police are "commissioned special police" instead of any city/state affiliation... and they drive cool cars :).

my mom has a house at sapphire valley/bald rock. yes its one of those neighborhoods were almost no one lves there year round.

those subie cops could never keep up with the real thing, but they sure could catch most anyone else and they look cool.

I've been expecting these. Very nice. How was the drive in the mountains, and care to give the location in a PM?

its 64west and like 206 i think. basically take 85north to 985north then drive drive drive until you pass thru a town and find a right hand turn that leads straight to the mountains. that road is 64 west and leads to highlands, NC and cashiers, NC.

really sweet roads that start about 1 1/2 from 285 and 85. the 64 goes on for days. great waterfalls, hiking trails, picnic lunch spots and enough turns to make most people feel nauseuos after only 30min.....well as long as there arent any people from florida that have never driven on a road that goes up and down while cutting through mountains. 55mph unless otherwise posted :twisted: . "sorry officer i missed that 20mph sign, there was a semi in the oncoming lane" has worked for me before.

if anyone is ever interested in a little journey for some new mountain road runs let me know. i know the main roads pretty well, havent really travelled off the beaten path much. only draw back is its one lane per direction for a long time. very rarely are there areas for passing and most people dont seem to know that those spots on the side of the road where theres a big section of shoulder that is paved/covered is for pulling over to let other drivers go by. oh well theres always atleast one during the hour jaunt thru 64s twisties that has no clue how to drive in the mountains.

Lets set a time and place...After I get my car in functioning order, or my bike in functioning order. Whichever comes FOERST. I'm a touge addict.

cant yet. :cry: need a bigger exhaust pipe so i can actually get in there rather than swabbing a gallon of KY on for the stock pipe. have been secretly plugging the gas inlet tho.
