Almost here

So it is almost here just one more sleep to go.

Things to do tonight: 1 cut the grass
2 cook supper
3 spend time with the wife
4 try and get everything on the bike.

Also with 20 bikes I was thinking of splitting the group into 2 groups of 10

Faster riders in group one led by MartyA and for those who want to take it a little slower in group two I will need a group leader for it with a bit of a twist in some of the roads I think this will be a safer way to ride we can discuss this.

See you all at the rally and ride safe.

If you can make it to Brockville, I have T3's and muscle relaxers on hand. I have back issues as well but it's been pretty good the last couple years. How much I owe you for the plugs etc.

I'm on the road. Left Atlanta at noon yesterday (Wed) and rode 420 miles up to Smith Mountain Lake VA. Hot & Humid. No rain at all but did see billowing black clouds in a few spots. Wonderful evening sunset ride on NC103 / VA103 and VA40. Those are A+ road. Traveling just east of the Blue Ridge Parkway for a change of pace. 0 traffic and really nice curvy pavement to fully utilize the machines capabilities.

Plan today is to ride the entire US522 from Powhatan VA across WV, MD into PA and get to Binghamton NY. Maybe Scranton PA. 475 miles today will get me in good shape for ride into Brockville. Plan to ride NY12 for some scenery. Messed up my lower back (muscle? or nerve?) a couple days ago and need to find some meds for some relief. off to CVS

Started to freak a bit last night eating a veal chop bit down using back bicuspid second one in bottom right the pain was horrific I thought there goes the rally for me luckily I got into the dentist today said I needed root canal and crown the tooth also had movement so he could not guarantee the tooth would last so I told him to pull it I do not like loosing teeth but I also do not want to miss the rally so I am good to go just a little sore.

Maybe it was the ride on the Harley on the weekend. Shook a couple teeth loose.

Awesome machine. With that bike you can make your own off-road experience any place you choose. Anywhere!
We just won't be able to follow you very far (if at all).

Yes that would be a frosty ride for everyone. mid 20's Celsius makes for excellent riding temps

Ride more worry less...

Had to go to Charleston WV Friday last for a wedding. In the forest here I woke up to 4C (39F) so I waited a little to leave. On the way down I went through Hundred, WV it was 32C (90F).

It's all good!
