If you're wondering whether or not your tire will last the trip, I dare say it won't. It will be far cheaper and more convenient to do it on your own terms before you come out here. Ask John or TC.
Yeah Marty, I think you're right. I looked back at the mileage I've got on this one and I've got about 6,000 miles on it right now and I'm still using it to commute everyday, and at least another 2k more until XSSE.
Not too bad for a Shinko 712, so I'll replace it before then. (and grease up the rear end too)(that's for DGXSER's comment )
I almost had the wife convinced to come too. We tried to get a room at Harrah's Cherokee, but they were fully booked. She doesn't ride, so she was going to stay at the casino and play, while I went out riding.
Oh well, maybe this way I'll save some Money $
(if she came, I'd be bringing the truck and not riding there)

She could still come. She could take the truck over to the casino play after you left for the day and come back before you came back.
Just think of the money she could win ya!
I see this as a win win!

Problem is I've got reservations for the bunkroon. We were trying to get the casino rooms free. (Comp) so I would have to upgrade from bunkroon to a room which would cost more, plus the truck really eats up the gas too.

Only you can decide which way to go. I am staying in the area for about 2 weeks so I am bringing my hauler down to camp instead of a hotel every night and resturant food.

Hey! Glad to hear you'll crawl out of your cave and come be social! Others may hate it, but it'll be good to see you! Even better knowing I won't have to share a room. lol.

I'm finishing up the design for our 2013 SE Rally Shirt. I hope to have something workable in a couple weeks. I'll try to get something posted with pricing just after July 4th. At that point I'll put up a T Shirt thread. Will also have routes and stops figured out by then too.

Jeff, Any word on shirts yet?

We're getting into the short rows. It's almost done. The shirts won't be green this year. We need to get with the printer to finalize the design and then we'll start a new thread with the shirt on it. How do y'all feel about day glo pink?

You've got Tod's attention now. He'll want a dozen or so.
