oops 2011. dang i cant believe this year flew by that fast
 
lol trailers loaded we're dragon slayin the next 2 days.

dig this, just found out this morning that anyone that misses a day of work is automatically fired. theyve been walking people out all night with security guasrds that have missed days on their record for the past year.

hmm go to work while my friends go without me to the dragon? or go to the dragon and lose my yob...

dragon it is lol. now hopefully one of these other companies grabs me and takes me in.

oh and i stopped by my gfs house to kiss her good bye. her exact words

"bye baby, love you... oh and ... dont be stupid.. matt... seriously.."
 
but ya this casino is filing bankruptcy and theyve been walking people out all night. firing them for no reason at all. they fired all 3 people i sat down and ate lunch with LOL. theyre firing my best friend who got me the job tonight, and most likely im tomorrow. so im headin em off to piss em off.

worst case scenario is i get fired and dont get one of the jobs i hopefully have lined up. kissin the vmax good bye fo real this time lol!!

i have 180 in teh bank,
200 in paypal
and my last 2 week paycheck coming for 475 or so

my justification for going is, life first. work second. when it comes to life and financial death like this. my days feel like theyre starting to blend together. what do we live for? to work? but why work? that is the question.

monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc etc etc
wake up, eat, poop, shower, uniform, drive, work, come home, eat, poop, sleep. i can tell you what every day is going to be like til i die. so ima breakin it up a little bit. and chances are im gonna be fired anyway, we're on our 3rd bankruptcy. lol

Owners of the Indiana Live racetrack and casino face an interest payment on the lion’s share of their $544 million in debt next month, as credit analysts continue fretting about the company’s ability to pay its bills. Rating agency Standard & Poor’s noted that the Shelbyville venue boosted revenue 25 percent in the first quarter of 2010. But they say that hasn’t allayed their concerns about Indiana Live’s massive debt.

Most of the debt is in the form of $440 million in bonds, which have required interest payments in May and November. The size of the November payment wasn’t disclosed in public documents; Indiana Live’s total interest expense this year is expected to be $54 million.

S&P analysts say default could be imminent.

“It’s something we’ve seen coming and are anticipating relatively soon,” S&P’s Ben Bubeck said. “You can only be generating less than you need for so long.”
 
oh, the bikes.

me 09 vmax
hagbag on his trusty ol 05 r6(with his girlfriend)
and dustin on his 06 gsxr6
 
Great story bud... you and your buddies would fit in perfectly with my circle of friends at home here.... crude toilet humour is the #1 most commonly heard thing dribbling from our mouths. other than beer or whiskey. the dragon is something id like to do but i think ill be trailering the max because its 3000 kms one way.... talk about saddle sore. i guess that could be a contender for an iron butt award.... lol. keep safe.

peace,
evan...
 
ok back in the hotel now, nice day and the forecast said it was supposed to suck, but it was bright and sunny all day.

there were two wrecks in the time that we were there, a 1098 desmo duc went down in front of my buddies because of a rear end low side.

the other wreck was a harley who freaked out when a turn got tight and stood his bike up and crossed the double yellow and got t boned by another harley, i think it was around 40 minutes before an ambulance got there... the bike i got a good look of was TRASHED. total loss for sure.

brb going swimming. went to buy swimming trunks but they were 15 bucks per, so i found some athletic shorts at wally on clearance for 3 bucks lololol same difference.
 
anyways, i just got kicked out of the pool. i was the only boy there lol. the girls were splashin my shit on purpose so i got even more wet when i got my clothes back on. i ran into one of the girls in the laundry room when i was turning my towel in and she said she dropped a dollar behind one of the driers so she asked me to move it. i got it out and she whispered to me and bet me 1 dollar that she could kiss me without touching me, so im like lol ok free dollar. fools and money r easily parted lol.

oh and we were eating in the dragon diner and there was a vmax shirt above me signed dan o

oh and when we were coming baxk to our hotel room i walked past the vending machine and stepped on something crunchy and looked down and within 5 seconds i had 15 bags of doritos and fritos in my arms and running to my room lol..... how they got on the ground i have no idea. we ended up having a fight with them in our room. it was 2 v 1 so i got a pile of them in my room with me, i grabbed 5 at once and slammed the door open with my foot and yelled VVMMMMMAAAXXXX and threw them all at once. hagerty ducked behind the bed and used his pillow shield of a thousand truths but dustin wasnt so lucky. he tried to slide backwards with his feet and land push up style, but he was to close to the bed and slammed his face on it hard. vmax strikes again. noone can take 3 vmaxes straight to the chest. lol

oh and the new vmax handles good, you just have to remember that its a big bike. my wrists hurt a lil bit after a few runs. its constant input on the bars because its nonstop turning.

someone else has been smashin the dragon up on a gen 2. looks like ur 30 mins ahead of us everywhere u go. saw u headin into the mountains as we were coming down this morning around noon.

anyways, a harley guy wrecked on the dragon with his gf on the back, he was going around a right hand turn and just rode into the ditch for some reason they went down pretty bad.

so it was raining right so we pulled into a marathon gas station for a couple mins to see if we couldnt wait it out, well.. the shop employee comes out and says EXCUSE ME GUYS... EXCUSE ME. IVE GOTTA HAVE THIS SPACE FOR CARS THANK YOU, lol it was funny cuz we were way out of the way of anyone needing gas and he was a total deck about it. so we bailed.
 
a lady ran over my shoe in traffic, she saw me lane changing as the traffic was slowing down at a stop light, i started to drift over and she punched it to cut me off. like if i was 3 inches further in front of her she wouldve run me over. well the traffic stopped after she rolled over my shoe lol... so as i sit there contemplating punching her mirror out, my friends and i say a few mean things.... she started crying lol. it was some old mean looking lady and another mean old lady in the passenger side from illinois.

Ya its hard to make plans down here about a third of my trips id say are total rain outs. One year we unloaded the bikes at the cabin and 3 days later just loaded them right back up and went home. It literally rained the entire time. Almost better off going on a whim when the weather looks good
 
I've never been, but I do ride around Highlands, cashiers allot. Been on 28 up through Franklin to Bryson City 2 months ago, and was gonna hit the dragon, but it shut down. Tomorrow is suppose be great weather wise, but I got pushed behind on things waiting for a bumper bracket I was supposed to have Monday, for my truck that I was hoping to have back together yesterday. But it's finally done today. Word of advice, if you buy anything off eBay, and it says fed ex smart post find another seller, or message the seller to ship it regular fed ex. What a joke. So now I'm a day behind on things I wanted to get done lol. We'll see if I go or not. It's a 4 hour ride up there for me.
