The reason it took off and has become an icon of ZDAYZ is because Nikki's BF Justin Good is a graphic artist and took a few pics of Nikki, photoshopped them and posted them online.

Also, Killboy (official Tail of the Dragon photographer) had the opportunity to take a pic of one sign that had been placed on a "Do Not Litter" sigh. He still has the sammich shop sign.

The rest of the ZCHICKZ have distanced themselves from the sammich shop and in fact rock "Anti-Sammich Making Squad" shirts often.

Yep, they were total douchebags at that place! There was a couple idiots (Nissan guys) who decided to do burnouts out of their lot, which I think set them off on a anti-Nissan rage.

All I say to those redneck douchebags at the Deals Gap resort, is **** OFF!

Things could be a LOT better if people used sensible judgment.
Heck of a 3rd post, but what the heck .... This was our 2nd year at Zdayz and the people in cars were extremely well behaved both years. Fast? Sure. Why own it otherwise? But the only ones we saw crossing the double yellow or holding up traffic were on two wheels. Last year and this we saw more bad motorcycle riding than we have in 26 years and a few hundred thousand miles of riding. My best guess is that the motorcyclist just aren't used to a fast car coming the other way in a turn. Wayyyy to many of them ride too close the the centerline and have to correct mid-turn. I'm sure some car drivers were "guilty", but the huge majority of drivers at Zdayz stay well within the limits of their cars. Ride or drive fast and occasionally stuff will happen, but I'd go back to Deal's Gap with any of you guys and gals before I'd go back there on the bike.

Our "other" ride:

^^ true

I followed a group of cruisers up the dragon headed towards the lookout point and they crossed the double yellows on left hand turns just about EVERY turn.

I think my camera was still recording during some of the turns, but I definitely saw several cars out of control too.

Of course, all this is nothing new to that area. It happens ALL the time.

No no no.. that's all wrong.

The SPIRIT of it was that the women should be barefoot, in the kitchen, pregnant, and making sammiches for the boys. GET IT RIGHT!!!

Honestly, it's not really about sexism anymore. We know the girls can drive, we know the girls can mod. Nikkah's car is way faster than mine. It's more about the fact that Teh Nikkah's Sammich Shop is frickin' awesome!

It's our way of lovingly picking on the girls. I don't think a single Sammich fan seriously believes that the women should be left at the cabin, because we love our Z/G Chicks.



BUT - we do want our sammiches. So Pam... uh... ham and cheese?

Best part of last year with the sammiches was "I wonder if their sandwiches are good"

What about the bikers who rode in as we were all packing and asked if the shop was still open?

Wow, that explains the chilly vibe I got when I parked there Sunday afternoon.

BTW, it was nice meeting you in person. (car wash - tire dressing) I didn't make the connection until I saw your license plate later on. I agree with you on the drop top cruise. We were looking forward to that also.

As far as the riders either cruiser, or crotch rocket, we had a couple real douchey harley riders in front of us for a third of one of our dragon runs, and the guy stopped on the side of the pitstop and eyeballed us as we drove by trying to be a tough guy. As far as any other cruisers went, most of them were very nice and pulled over to let us enjoy our runs.

As far as the crotch rockets goes, my only problem was those itiots doing the fat joe 'lean back' into the other lane when they're already stradling the freakin center line. I had a scuffle with one rider, but most I dealt with.

Still wishing I could make next year
