Black Knight
I Glow Therefore I am
First off for those of you that don't know, Matt and I drove 1,800 miles in approx. 25 hours each way to reach Nats X. Why you might ask, in hell would you do that? Well I heard that Nats was bar none one of the coolest gatherings that a SyTy lover could go to, I wasn't let down in any way, shape, or form. :tup:
Thursday:
As far as I know 3 of us drivers received speeding tickets on the way there, I was one of those fortunate few. :squint: 87 in a 70, which was a far cry from the previous speeds we were traveling at. :lol: I was even happier when I expected a $200-$300 dollar ticket and got a $125
Ok on to the good stuff. As far as I can remember when we pulled up there was only a few people there and we got out of the truck never meeting any of them and totally felt welcome. I know I meet Renz very shortly after that, because he came running up like a little kid, "check out the pic of this golf cart I rolled over!" :rotf: After that I knew this weekend was gonna be a blast.
For the next couple hours we just unloaded and kept meeting cool people after cool people and seeing lots of awsome trucks.
Way late into the night 2AM maybe, Renz, Smaug, and Danielle asked if I wanted to go to the casino, sure I'm game. Which it was awsome that they would even ask since I just had just meet them. Then it started pouring rain on the way there and that p.o.s. of a rental car they gave Smaug could bearly keep from hydroplaning on the way there. As others have stated my Black Jack ability was less then decent that night, well I'll just blame Renz, because this is my thread and I can :wave:
What they did leave out was our leaving the casino, first I was so preoccupied with this HOT girl that I left the elevator not realizing that anyone was behind me or that I was on the wrong floor.
Then we proceeded to thrash the crap out of the rental car. That thing was such a turd it wouldn't even burn out in the pouring rain. :rotf: Hey Smaug remember red lights in KS, mean stop as much as they do in NJ :lol: Then the lady in the Dodge pickup decides to spin out right in front of us, smack a curb, and need a 6 point turn to get straightened out. Also the Chinese field trip comes into play here, but I'm gonna draw a blank on why
Then we head back to hotel, get almost to door and decided that we were hungry and want Denny's, we as Renz orders the most disgusting milk shake I've ever seen, and Danielle's turrets syndrome kicked in :rotf: Anyway after that we went back at about 5-6AM and went to bed.
Friday:
I got up after 3 hours of sleep to see if anyone was up, because I wasn't gonna miss any action! To my surprise Renz was up and running, so I thought hey if he's up I gotta get up Friday not alot happened, just hung out and tried to meet as many people as I could and see every truck.
Big thanx to Z-Mann and Frank from Autoaddictions for the help in getting the bike up and back together!
