A little over 3 1/2 hours and 182 miles for us and the last half of that is through the Allegheny National Forest

We could be there by lunchtime but most likely run into a few garage sales and a flea market

Tried to edit..what I meant in previous post .maximPhil ,,I thought you would go to rally.long ride for you again. jealous. Be here before you know it.!

Hi Tom,
Not a long ride by my standards. About 4 hours if the border crossing is not delayed. Google says a little more for you at 4 1/2 hours and less than 300 miles. With a nice long lunch you should be able to do that after breakfast and before dark of the same day
Break it up into short rides and long rests .. easy.

Icecycle here. Been mulling this rally over and over. Decided I'd better come and play. Booked the room today. Believe M is going to join me so add 2 Canadians and 2 bikes.

Why I brought it up!

I remember writing the date on these when I dismantled the bike for resto, 'cause I had a feeling she'd be down for a while.

Front tire's a little younger than I thought 1998



Rear's a little older came with the bike when I bought it in 1992



These are Conti-Blitz that aren't made anymore but were a good tire.

Gonna order some new skins in a week or so along with some new rider gear for Linda and I.

So far only 22 people and 18 bikes. Couple of maybes.

Small fast group!!

...as they have a manufacture date of 1996

The tires will be replaced before I let her out of the garage, as they have a manufacture date of 1996 ...

In better times we did have a shiny bike award, longest distance award, rat bike award (not always a true rat, usually something that ran well and wasn't very shiny, we are a fun bunch not trying to embarrass anyone) and the Harley Award for travelling furthest (or shortest, I forget which) with bike on a trailer. Most of those have gone away due to shortage of funds. Took away from the beer money....

Just be SURE your tires are in good shape - I will inspect.

The tires will be replaced before I let her out of the garage, as they have a manufacture date of 1996 This bike hasn't seen pavement since 2001 so I'll have to do some local short rides to make sure all the work I put into her over the years works
