Glad you guys had fun! Sad I missed it. Got the dates mixed up, thought it was next weekend. On the bright side, my schedule conflict took me to Tennessee, so I rode Deals Gap instead.

Just wanted to take a moment to remember my friend Pops on his birthday. Yes, he was a character, that's what makes this organization great. RIP my friend.

Home safe. Nice group. About 1100 miles. Thanks Dave for leading.

Especially a back up bike that is signed by Kenny Roberts Sr and Kenny Roberts Jr:)

Had some ups and some downs but overall I still enjoyed the weekend!

Some pictures. I didn't use the rain tires this weekend but they will be ready for next time.

I had an amazing time this weekend. Sunday started out cold and damp but the track dried and it was a great weekend overall!! @Dippnet Won a Kawi z125, Congrats Buddy!

Close toed shoes? I'm out then. I just got my new ridin boots too

Great day!

Thank you all for joining me for an Epic ride today. Wouldn’t change a moment of the whole day. See you all soon

I had a minor get off, I missed one session and got back out. @crash and @stiffneck helped me get the bike back up and running in hurry. Overall I had a blast it was an amazing weekend, big thanks to all my STLAR buddies @stiffneck @reed12b and @Dippnet. And I can not thank @crash enough for all the stuff he did to help me get the bike ready for and out to the track and back!!!

Thanks everyone for making this such a great trip....we had a great time with some awesome people.

I waited til 9:20 then went riding. Beautiful down south. Hit bixby for lunch then headed to Eminence. 376 miles today ??? bought a new Yamaha fz07 yesterday had to break her in.

I've been laid up a few days here and unfortunately that has meant a lot of boredom. I have truly enjoyed many of the pictures and videos that so many of you posted here and on Facebook. Unfortunately one of the videos I viewed contained some startling footage of a motorcycle crash scene. (If any of you are involved with the motorcycle community on Facebook you know the video, but that's another story.) The thing I noticed was the confusion... literally havoc at the scene. No one new what to do, no one was communicating. I know that heroic efforts were performed but there was plenty left undone. I am not trying to be critical but I also know that STLAR, as an organization, has invested a lot over the years in learning how to handle these situations and that we can be effective should the need arrive. It was a grim reminder of how important the knowledge of how we should behave in these situations is. This year, through my company, I was trained as a Disaster Response Team member and some of the information and training I received... I truly was not prepared for the frankness with which it was discussed. That having been said we have a lot of new members and it's been a while since we have had a session on Scene Management so at the very least I think we should all at least review the slides on how to behave and the roles that need to be filled during an incident. Please everyone take a look at this post and review the slides therein. If you are new and have questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Home safe. 400 miles. Great day. Thanks for putting it together Nate. Hermann turned into Cuba and Bixby ? My kind of adventure.

Dr. Khaled thanks for posting the ride and Dave as always fantastic routes. Eric I’m glad you decided to join us. See you guys soon.

Great vid, Steve! That road is one of my favorites! Most of us were cleaning bugs off the bikes last night but I'm pretty sure Dave was pulling a bird outta his radiator.

Excused the distracting fluff occasionally on the lens. I glued a bit of wind screen stuff over the mics, which are right under the lens. Apparently I didn't trim them back enough. I've given it a haircut while making this vid.

It’s back baby! It’s so ugly that I actually think it’s cool.
