Most memorable quotes from the Lamonster BBQ, 2012

[donnellpj]

Dateline: Hot Springs, N. Car.

Lamont is conducting his "safety" speech before we run The Rattler,...

"You can trust the VSS on the Spyder, I do it all the time, man,...it will do its job, just don't look in the ditch!"

Haha! Classic. :thumbup: The dude abides, man,...

Oh, btw, no one went into the ditch!

Lamont's "quote" stuck with me for the better part of the ride. I recited it dang near every twistey nojoke I'm certain he saved me from going into the ditch more times than I can count. ray: :bowdown:ray: We have twisties here in Alabama but NOT quite like those we rode through. Had a great 3 days!!!:clap: Thanks Lamont :thumbup::thumbup:

While escorting Jesse's busted Spyder to Elizabethton in 95 degree heat, at a stop light, I yelled over to SteveMac "Are we having fun or what?"
He responded "It's better than installing shocks!"

(He had installed 16 sets of Elkas the day before.)

I was told I said 2 at Deal's gap. To the State Patrol "I guess I can brag to the group back home, I was caught speeding at the Gap on a Spyder." "I think the only reason you stopped me is you thought you could catch me if I tried to run on a spyder." They laughed as they gave me the ticket, 48 in a 30. Pat from SC was behind me and he not radared so no ticket.
We took another ride into NC Saturday morning and Pat refused to lead. I wonder why. Still a great trip. Many great people at the motel and Lamont is an excellent host, fellow rider, and a valuable source on information. A good trip back to Ga with speed within reason.

I assume you mean Tail of the Dragon as Deals Gap is the store at the top. But I didn't know anyone got a ticket on the ride. Or was this on your way back home?

 

[fispyder]

It was at the end of the ride at the tail of the dragon. I was the lucky one (no ticket:roflblack meet some nice folks at BBQ and motel.

I don't recall who said it, but at the BBQ I mentioned that I was riding back to Charlotte with WackyDan... I was told - "Good Luck with that!":shocked::shocked:

Since he took me down the DiamondBack on the way home, I gave him ample time to let his Spyder cool down...:roflblack::roflblack:

No wonder he did not stop by my place on the way back!:roflblack:
