    Work projects complete!
    Got my hall pass for the run to SA Friday afternoon.
    Sorry for the late notice.

    Should be leaving Katy area around 4pm for anyone else wanting to ride that way.

      Alright Richard! Better late than never.

      I'll be staying in Gainsville friday night and leaving early Saturday AM and meeting up with jmnjrpa in Dallas and we'll be there before noon sat. I hope.

      Looking forward to this!

          I thought about that John but that trip we made last fall Tod and I rode about 500 miles that first day with the trip back to Tulsa and then another 250 or 300 the next day.

          I put on over 1000 miles in less than 3 days. Not an Iron Butt run but pretty close. I think you did even more than that didn't you?

            Not iron butt, close

            I did 900 to and from Eureka Springs, plus whatever we rode. We might have ridden farther if that old guy hadn't slid his bike off in the grass!

            Oh wait...er ...um... Nevermind.

              Well, you gotta expect that kinda stuff from people who don't even tighten the exhaust bolts on their bikes.

                Things are unraveling for me right now. May need to make a rocket run to Albuquerque to deal with some problems with a house I still have there. this will be be up in the air till thursday or friday. IF this all falls thru (which I hope), I will be there saturday and most likely hang out till sunday. My rig is pretty much ready to go (don't trust the batttery so I am gonna get a new one) so I don't have have a "fix its" on the agenda. I will will keep yall informed since I know my place was a landing spot for Monday. I really need a weekend of biking.

                    Just got a text, jmnjrpa is trying to back out. Said he has to work.

                    I told him he needs to find another job if they are going to make him work holidays and weekends.

                          Tents

                          I had a question about tents. I have plenty of room and electricity to setup a tent onsite. I have one large three room tent I will have setup next to the driveway for extra shade and in case someone is traveling light.

                          Lows this weekend are xpected around 71 degrees, so nice after sunset.

                          I have floorspace and a couple cots if you need AC. Sorry the only guest bed is already spoken for.

                          Richard from Houston is arriving Friday night, but has arranged to stay at the nearby Hyatt Regency or something like that

                          If you can make it we can figure a way to accomodate.

                            I don't know if I'd go as far as a Hyatt...Maybe if the wife was with
                            I may take you up on a spot in that tent for a night.

                            Been packing up the tools and what not. So far I'm good for low to no wrenching on my ride for the weekend. I can grab the carb sync and shim(s)/tool if needed.

                                I have carb sync tool

                                no need to pack another I don't think unless yours is one of them fancy kind - mine is the 4 gauge kind - and its real purty too with orange and longhorns and such. Got the yamaha valve tool too though I have yet to use it. Just got a YICS eliminator tool too in case of XJs.

                                Greg aint that skeery - I survived Arkansas - you will be fine - if I remember it was Ivan that had the Vaseline in the master bedroom that was "unexplainable" ("Where did that come from?")
