        My brother, Jon will not be attending the rally as he had planned.

        A small truck pulled through a stop sign, out from a blind side street, directly into the path of Jon.

        Damage includes a broken left lower leg (tibia & fibia) and some road rash on elbow. Yesterday, surgical repair with titanium pin. Release from hospital is scheduled for tomarrow. His attitude seems pretty good though.

        Condition of his red honda magna is unknown. (He did say he saw many shiny pieces sliding down the road).

        Be careful out there, & Happy Motoring,

                He Brent,

                So sorry to hear about your bro..quick recovery to him!!

                I may not make it as my throttle tube broke! (Glad it is not my leg tube!!) I have one on the way but might not make it in time!

                I am in East TN this weekend and the colors are already starting to pop. Should be a great ride for the rally.

                Best to all and ride well

                        Last year I ran a slide show of the motorcycle concours event we had in Florida. I have this years show on CD if anyone is interested, BUT my laptop will not be available to run the show. If anyone is interested and can provide a laptop, I can bring a projector.

                          are we there yet?

                          Hi to all,

                          If you are still home packing, bring some warm clothes, especially if camping. Low temp in low 40's maybe high 30's. highs in 60's. A little cooler than last year.

                          CU there & happy motoring,
