      We won't be there till afternoon anyway on Friday, so you may want to email Brent to check on a ride for Friday. We usually just do the 'Cooler Run' to warm up the tires.

          Yep, Bruce has the Bandit all spiffed up and I am bringing the Aprilia Tuono (Still has last winters gas in it!!) but at least it has new tires.

                  Looks like we maybe be flooded! GT sent some pictures, the campground is underwater in some areas with more rain coming, roads closed in Atlanta area due to flooding. Thinking dry thoughts right now!! I will post up pictures in a few.

                      The weather channel is talking about land slides, roads washed out and other unpleasant thoughts. Any of the GA guy want to comment? I am worried this rally may be a wash out...(well I hope not!!)

                        I just got home. I moved to Dahlonega over the summer. (15 miles away) I got in last night and it was raining. It's still raining. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. It doesn't seem as bad here as counties west of Atlanta. The good news is that if it stops raining, the water will drain off these hills quickly.

                          Hi Gary,
                          That should fix the drought from 2 years ago Will they have GAS this year ? Having decided a long time ago I can not afford this one this year. I was just sitting down to the computer to check some mileages and see what might be.

                              While I was off hunting letters on the keyboard you posted.
                              Please keep us posted on the rain situation.
