XS Southeast 2013

[motoman]

You should be headed down there too Brant. If Scott can come from Cali you should be able to get there from Colorado.

Left myself wide-open for that..............and somehow knew it would be from you. The thought has crossed my mind since Scott let me know his intentions a week ago.

Mike,

Your tee shirts will be at the lodge Friday afternoon. I'll see you then! I think I'm ready.

Hi Marty,

Thanks for the info. Might buy an extra if you have any. I believe that I am ready too??

The only shirts we have are the ones that were pre-ordered. Doing extras would increase the price considerably.

Two days and a wake-up!

EXCELLENT ........
btw: We are taking a Rest Stop at Waterrock Knob on BRP (that's between US23 & US19) say 3:30pm Sat, after that its a Fuel Stop in Cherokee then Ride back to I-H. If you can't make that then see you at the I-H. Riders should start arriving back at I-H say 5:30pm to 5:45pm.

Lot's of final maintenance going on (heavy duty repairs & regular stuff) happening since last week to get these beasts 'Rally Ready'. Will be fun.

Jeff

Y'all will likely be ahead of me time wise, I'll be working a late 2nd shift Friday night so an early start is unlikely. My route may also be a bit further South, BRP from 276 to 215 is possible then south to Charlies Cr and through Elijay to Franklin and around Wayah Rd to the NOC for beer on the way into Iron Horse...but I've been known to reroute on a whim.

Here are our FOOD CHOICES from I-H. If you have Registered for a Room or Bunk or Tent Space at I-H then you should have just received this info in an email from Iron Horse. They say: Please email this form back to info@ironhorsenc.com.

Our restaurant is not open to the public. We only serve our guests.
See y'all soon, Jeff

Hey Jeff/Marty,

The above RED TEXT has me a little concerned. I know when I've attended there before, I was able to place orders despite the fact that I wasn't staying there, I too am at the Tuskegee a couple miles down the road. SO...I don't know if they'll accept my order via email since I'm not an I-H resident....but I would think they would to have good karma with the other members of OUR GROUP that are staying there! I'll drop them a line and see what they say!?

See you all there Friday PM, WOW, I get to meet the 'infamous' 3Phase!

I know for a fact that they will allow others not staying at the IH to eat there as we are still part of that group...however you wont be able to run a tab and pay upon checking out as we never checked in and yes they will respond to emails...BTDT already.

Not even a small problem.

T.C.,

Let us know what they say. We are not staying there either but would like to eat there at least on Friday night with the group. If not, we will have to find someone else too take our money.

Phil,

I think it's more likely the speedo jammed up as the drive. Will an XS650 cable fit?

For the signal, open up the switchgear. The screw on the rocker is loose. Or...bad lamp connection or ground. Secure the screw in the switchgear first.

Hi Marty,
Called around and found a speedo cable which involved a nice 1 hour ride to collect. Install to morrow. By the time I find out if it is fixed i will be on my way I gave Addie a severe talking to and suddenly both the indicators flash again. I'll bring the screwdriver and you can show me where the switch gear is
See you on Friday.

As long as your with the XS group I don't think it'll be a problem but if they email you back and ask who's reservation your under just give them a name of someone you know has a reservation.

A word to the wise

This has been mentioned before, but there have been recent additions. Having been on the Dragon recently, there is more of a presence of law enforcement than has been previously. Used to be more local guys like county mounty level. The new guys are TN State Troopers. They are in patrol cars and, yes, on motorcycles too. Another addition is there are a few more ambulances stationed nearby (on the weekends). I feel that is a good thing - just don't want to see the inside of one. Outside view is just fine.

I am thinking that some of the crotch rocket thrill seekers are mostly the cause of this additional concern. They appear to be mostly looking for speeders as they are sitting in some of the turns with radar guns.

The good news is that there will likely be so many bikes on the Dragon that you can't be speeding anyway.

Don't be overly concerned. Just be advised that they are out there.

[3Phase]

Left at 7:30 AM.
I'm in Flagstaff and headed for Albuqurque and sleep. 200 miles and 4 more hours, I think.

Do it again tomorrow.

Brant, come on down, ST-man.

T.C.: bite me!

(I hate using my mobile phone for web stuff!)

Form

Thanks Greg.

Could someone post the meal form from IH?

You gonna try and make Sallisaw tomorrow or just stay in OKC?. Sallisaw is 160 more miles. OKC is about 550 from Albequerque.
