New Tag; "someone famous was born here"

[bccap]

Hmm... Good tag. Have to think about that one. But be careful using your side stand in gravel. Ask me how I know ?

Had to look him up. This would have made him infamous:

"Given command of the Army of the Cumberland, he fought against Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg at Stones River, and later outmaneuvered him in the brilliant Tullahoma Campaign, driving the Confederates from Middle Tennessee. His strategic movements then caused Bragg to abandon the critical city of Chattanooga, but Rosecrans's pursuit of Bragg ended during the bloody Battle of Chickamauga, where his unfortunately worded order mistakenly opened a gap in the Union line and Rosecrans and a third of his army were swept from the field. Besieged in Chattanooga, Rosecrans was relieved of command by Grant."

Cool, the tag is now, "infamous person born here". Good luck with that one.

If that was MSF for real, the coaches are being bad. All MSF coaches are supposed to be wearing either the bright yellow reflective vests or clothing of the same nature. The guy that had trouble accelerating and stopping was riding like many novice riders do, and it's a good thing he's taking the course, he should be able to ride better by the end of it. They had several more exercises to go before the skills test portion, he might have it figured out by then.

I should be humble and say I would hate to have seen my video. lol
I tested on my big Shadow, which is btw, a horribly balanced machine. At those creeping speeds like in traffic I still wobble all over the place. Impossible to keep her steady.

The old "oh it'll be fine"

minutes later....DOH!
+1 (grass is bad too)

[Steel Toed Tank]

I'm going to be testing on my friends kawi klx250sf, My bike is just too big and high strung at slow and low city speeds to use for a precision "test taking" kind of driving style. His bike is half the weight, a third of the power, and a six speed. So I would have to shift 3 times to break a speed limit, lol.

As for tags I'm out for a bit. My friend is back from his trip so I have no lend of his bike, and mine's in pieces waiting for parts to arrive in the mail.
Sonic Springs came in today, YAY!!

Okay, how about a big rock, with some kind of writing on it?

Keep it the original tag...it hasn't been 24 hrs and don't make it too easy yet.

[bccap]

I agree. Keep the original tag. We'll get it.

[rteam2]

I agree, don't change it. If no one has it by tonight I'll get it on the way to work tomorrow.

Better be quick....I may have a site mapped out on my ride tomorrow morning!!

I have searched out famous people born in Vancouver, and either we don't have enough pride in them, or nobody ever thought there place of birth important. I cannot for the life of me find a plaque anywhere in our area commemorating the birth of a PERSON. How about GreenPeace? There's a plaque for their maiden voyage somewhere around here.

Infamous might be a little easier to find.

[BigD_83]

Infamous might be a little easier to find.

Yeah, but would someone really put up a plaque for the birth of El Gordo?
