This is the story of a girl...

[Kristin]

If anyone knows where that title is from, you're cool in my book. It's pretty old school. Anyway...

I'm Kristin in the small town of Greenville, NC. I have been riding for a few years but I didn't really start RIDING until a couple of years ago. Before that I was just riding the streets being a squid. I did the whole 2-up stunting thing, then decided to give it a try myself. Flipped an endo, so gave up on those. Now I stick to wheelies and other squidly tricks that I do in parking lots away from moving vehicles. It was fun for a bit but got boring. I was introduced to the TRACK and I'm still in love with it. I've only done VIR and Summit Point in WV but plan on doing a whole lot more this year. Just depends on my health and time.

I'm a gear head, always have been and pretty sure I always will be. I spend way too much money on my toys. Since I don't have any children it makes things easier to spend money on myself and what makes me happy. I've learned that I won't be around forever so I might as well enjoy my time on Earth while I am still here. Do I sound like a guy yet? Probably so. Try not to judge a book by it's cover. I'm pretty girlie on the inside...somewhere.

I had a semi bad crash at Deal's Gap about a year ago and I can't see to get my confidence level back up but I'm working on it. I guess it will just take more seat time and staying positive. Plus I need to learn to get off the seat more.

That's about it. Hope to meet you guys at Deal's Gap or either on the track sometime soon.

Welcome. :twfix:

Welcome to the board.:twfix:

[Becca_007]

Hi there and welcoem to the board. You don't sound too "guy" to me!

[Trip]

Welcome, I remember hearing about your wreck now that I have seen the pics. Glad you came out fine. I am regularly up there, so if you see my white 07 RR, stop by and say hi.

[Kristin]

Hey Trip, do you ever ride 421? They call it The Playground?

[NONE_too_SOFT]

who cried a river and drowned the whole world?


nice crash, by the way, bike totally flipped on you towards the end there huh? every girl wants to think they're "just one of the guys" but at the end of the day you've still got tits and a vagina, and be glad about it, because with those you rule the world.

[Kristin]

thanks for the welcomes everyone. seems like a pretty cool website.
NtS: good job. haha

Yeah it hit a tree stump and started flipping in mid air. I hit a tree and that's what stopped me from going down the mtn. But just my luck, the bike hit the same tree that I hit and came down on top of me so I was pinned under it.

I got up though once people stopped and got the bike off me. I was upset because I couldn't ride anymore that day. My rear wheel was cracked along with some other stuff. I thought I was fine but about 2 days later I couldn't take it anymore. I knew I had broke my ribs and they can't do anything about that anyway. But the pain in my stomach went from aching pain to piercing pain. I went to the urgent care and they rushed me to the ER where I later found out I had internal bleeding to my chest and abdomen, swollen spleen, and all the ribs on my left side were bruised/broken.

The worst part, I didn't have health insurance. But I was back on the bike not long after. While I was in recovery people helped me get my bike back together and I was ordering parts off ebay.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

its a thing of beauty how people on two wheels can come together for a common cause. Shit if cages were outlawed i think world peace would come soon after.

Hey Trip, do you ever ride 421? They call it The Playground?

Near Johnson City? Some people call it the snake now too. I just call it 421. I think the nicknames are retarded. I call 129, the gap and that's it.

[dReWpY]

i like the "hill"

[NONE_too_SOFT]

i like the "hill"

second. Prolly the most used term i use when talking to somebody whom actually knows that deals gap is.


When explaining it to people i dont know i usually just say "its an 11 mile section of road carved out of the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere".

[Southspice]

:rockwoot: Whatz up ??
You sound pretty kewl to me :)
I ride the dragon often too !! Was up at Cherohala yesterday as a matter of fact!! Nice Ride!! Maybe see you out sometime .. say HI

years ago when i was first taken to 421 the guys said it was on the hush hush and to not mention the road, just "the playground" because they didn't want a shitload of people up there on home track.

Yet another reason why I don't like riding on the street... not the gap, not anywhere :wink:

[Lamnidae]

Welcome to the Fix, Kristin. I'm sure you'll feel right at home.

And now I have the song stuck in my head.........................

Welcome!!! Hey, I had two bad crashes within two months of each other and one of which totalled my beloved Aprilia Tuono, and these crashes were about a year and a half ago. I'm still having the jitter.

I have never been too fond of 421, it's got too many entrances and exits on it. Just asking to get pulled out in front of.

Shit,it's been over ten years since I hit a deer and I'm still nervous at dawn or dusk. Not to mention my fear of being rear ended having had it happen three fucking times!!!:panic:

[OneSickPsycho]

I didn't get any jitters after my crash... even after the subsequent near death goose decoy experience... Strange.

[z06boy]

Welcome...yep crashing sux but look at the bright side...you crashed an R6 and it DIDN'T even catch on fire. j/k

[Lamnidae]

That near death goose decoy experience woulda seriously f'ked w/ my head.


Could only immagine the terror and nightmares of being attacked by decoys.... woah... got chills just thinking about that.

Will be at the Gap Rally? Please this time try to ride the pavement not the trees. You're good, but dammit girl!

[OneSickPsycho]

Am I the only motherfucker that didn't know this chick before she got on here?

[Kristin]

It would seem so. You've been missing out. Kristin's awesome.

[OneSickPsycho]

[Katherine]

I had a semi bad crash at Deal's Gap about a year ago.

Has it been that long? Weren't we supposed to meet up for a track day, slumber party, or something? Geez already!

[Kristin]

Has it been that long? Weren't we supposed to meet up for a track day, slumber party, or something? Geez already!

Speaking of decoys/targets...will you rednecks PLEASE stop placing your deer figures by the road! I don't know how many times I've checked up because of those fucking things!!!

[Katherine]

June is a track day. You better make yourself available, woman!

There's also talk of one in VIR at the end of May. Isn't that your home track? I've never ridden it, so I'll need you to show me the lines.

Awesome! I can't wait to ride a different track than NH.

And zip ties are a MUST for any fast track bike. You're all set.

Haha and old prank, but classic, and works very well. Especially since when they wake up in the morning, they'll have to pee :lol:
