What a beautiful day to ride and after we got up on the Blue Ridge Parkway we soon found that a lot of bikers had the same idea today.

I've been out towards Ashville and been on parts of the Blue ridge beautiful country...

Man yesterday was gorgeous. So was the Tuesday.
I played hookie as well and put the jetboat in the water to take advantage of the glass-like fall conditions on LKN during the week.
Was having a blast until I realized I noticed the big oil leak that developed! Had to put it back on the trailer last night and back in the garage to see whats up.



I'd be out there again today but work is piling up.

Sorry to hear that buddy.

What kind of Jet Boat are you running?

I had a Taylor back in the 70's with a 460 Ford.

This one is from the old taylor molds. It is the equivalent of the Taylor LP.
Some guy was building them in the 90's under the name Condor.
Mine is a 1998, had it since new.

Been a great boat but my azz dictates that I can only use it on LKN in the fall or during the week.
It's big for a jetboat but still needs smooth water to not beat yourself to death.

What model Taylor did you have? SS, SJ, LP?
sorry for the thread detour.

We have not done that yet and of course when you're riding a Harley touring bike it is not the best road. I have three guys working for me with C-Rockets and they love it. Actually there is a road just over the Tennessee line on the north side that they say is even better.
Yea, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find some better roads. The Dragon is definitely the most popular though, and it's like a huge bike meet on any giving weekend there. There are actually a lot of Harley and Goldwing clubs that like to meet out there.

No problem Motorcycles and boats it's all good.

Go to this link and you will see one for sale that was very similiar to the one I owned. I do not recall the actual model but it did have a full back seat and the seat was totally enclosed. Mine was silver in color.

Are you going to be on the water this Saturday weather permitting? I plan to ride on the fun run with the boys from Checkmate.

Nice, yes I think that is a Taylor SJ, great looking hull.

Yeah, we're planning on the run. Looks like the weather will reach mid-60s.
Hope to see you there!

Dock, I want to thank you for playing hookie the other afternoon as well. I appreciate your time. We're "negotiating". I don't know how they expect to get 30% OVER book value, even if it is a clean & rare truck.
