DoubleJ Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I'm trying to remember if I was at this one?!?!? i can probably piece it together if this was the year, you @richieb and your wife had the BMW bike and were caught in a huge rain storm. I remember fini had a lot of his family with him and I saw him in a picture or two so I must've been there. IB_Slammin (Terry) had the tunes cranked too loud so I didn't spend much time in the Farm Thanks JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 -^^^^ Yep Tail of the Dragon. From Chat take 64 which will turn into 129, 129 is the Dragon. Robbinsville NC is the start at the south. Deals Gap is part of the Dragon on 129 where we stayed at cool little place that is great for looking/talking bikes. Where it ends or the "tail and the mouth"? Depends on your point of entry but the actual Dragon is only about 12 or 13 miles but lots of curves, lots of curves. Not many sweepers but 1st and 2nd gear turns rule. I heard it has become Much more congested and patrolled since we were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 But it's "The Dragon" after you have driven/ridden it a few times and earned your decal. Sounds more chic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks for the pictures, I never had any, I remember someone rebuilding crossovers in the kitchen about 1 am. Was a very good Pilgrimage year for me, Treys daughter picked my name to win some Cornwalls. And the late Daddy Dee won some Rf-7's, I think he gave to his son or daughter ? And Fini and family was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser SET say Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 You bet, I love reminiscing too! Double J, pretty sure you were there and I think if you look at Amy's attendance list thread I believe it shows you plus I think it was the only year Finster had the entire clan with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IB_Slammin (Terry) had the tunes cranked too loud so I didn't spend much time in the Farm Thanks Well.... JWC and I had consulted on the concept for over a year I think. A shape that would hide the 12cf in a corner, networks to accommodate the second woofer etc. He built them and I had never heard them. It was only natural I wanted to run them up a bit. Dr.Who was working on the outdoor system and walked past the door with an SPL meter that read 130db as I recall. A year or so later he drove 13 hrs. in a cargo van to bring the cabinets to me. WOW! The DBB's are in my LR today. They have undergone many changes over the years as to mids, tweets, and networks. (K400's. K510's, Altec 511b"s and Mark 1101 had K402's on his. ALK designed an ESN circuit for the LF. I sent a truckload of parts to JWC and he built the final networks. (with my touch of a lumberjack they would have been on a 4x8 sheet of plywood) Thank you so much! I wish I could post a pix of them. They are a work of art to my eye. I think that I am finally finished because they sound exactly the way I want them to.

To see the piece up close and realize it was totally done with little pieces of wrapping paper is testament to Mr. Werner's skill and artful eye! That's some awesome stuff you posted there.
