    Oh good Heavens!

    If you're going to make an offer like that... you'd best get it down here...
    Say... somewhere around June 20th would be good...

    If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

          I'll be able to be there for part of the weekend, at least Thursday and part of Friday. Looks like I'll have my two son's for the 19th thru the 21st though. Mind if I come and help set up and meet everyone?

            That would be MOST awesome, thank you

            You should be able to meet most of the gang at the Bob Jones ride... of course... some of us you will hopefully meet well before then...



            and you can always bring your kids along at some point too... probably not the ride on Saturday... but maybe the car show that evening?

              You make an excellent point. The people in central Oklahoma are indeed morons. However the people in the southwest western northeast central northern southern region of Oklahoma are very bright, sophisticated and culturally refined.

              Got it?
              Well this moron built a bike that gets lots of attention at bike nights sitting next to $25k Harleys!!! Now being in central OK I'm not too bright but if you (AHH-Nald) happen to pass through here from Stillwater on your way down to the rally, I'd be pleased to meet up and ride down with ya...

                We'll see. I'm not sure I can even make it.

                  Hi Matt,
                  I rode through AL to go to meeting of the minds once. Great bunch of folks there, and some amazing wrenches. I would like to attend again. Just now I have a scheduling conflict on Saturday & Sunday... I may be able to work it out. Perhaps I could attend the first part of the rally at least. Let me know as your plans come together if you want to ride in together.
                  It is a great big beautiful world out there

                    The sockets are pretty impressive too...


                    Could it possibly be? That would be great if you could make it again Brent! We'll even start it early if you want to ride in... maybe get a ride in before the work begins...

                              and it was a good thing they did too... as I recall... that was the only car at the car show that evening...
                              lol

                              It's not the Honda that bothered me... it's the dang Suzuki... but I found one today as a matter of fact... 699 miles and only $7500... seriously considered selling everything else to get it... but then thought... naaaaaaaaaaaah

                                Judging by the replies it looks like there might be a pretty good crowd at your place. Any thoughts on what is going to be worked on this year? (besides whatever someone breaks on the way there).
