30 plus folks have checked in, so far. Rain or shine, this is fun. Right now, it ain't raining.

Guess theres a glut of extra space...

Hey folks...there is a bed available in Cabin 1 room 101 sharing with MaximPhil...my half is paid so if anyone would rather have a real bed than sleeping in a tent there is that option...PM for payment details...if anyone wants to help me recoup my losses..Thanks and I hope you all have a great rally...

I'm getting buried ...

Hey George- I was only a mile away from my storage garage when I went down. I just started the bike in first at every traffic light to get there (three lights).

I have an extra rear turn signal, and I ordered an ignition cover and clutch perch off ebay. Maier fairing will be fixed over the Winter. I'll put my windscreen on till the snow hits.

Hey George- If you did not see or get my email, the room is paid for tonight, and I let Pam know you are my roommate. If you want it tomorrow night (Saturday), it's $108. Check-out is 11a.

Thanls Ian. Just checked in. Looking for a roomie to share now.
Maybe somebody in a tent will want an upgrade.

How are you making out with your bike and trying to get home?

Hopefully, no more crash victims. I'm glad you're not hurt worse, Ian.

As far as beds, I expect they'll be taken up quick.

[RichV]

On the road and spent the night in Boone. Looks like a wet ride today. My baby is a rain virgin so this will be interesting.

Everyone ride safe and see you tonight. Better late and safe.

Ian:

If you need to be moved somewhere (closer than Fenton) by trailer tomorrow, speak up.

The damage is actually not bad for going down @ 70 mph. Semi-truck pushed me into the guard rail, I went into the gravel, and layed it down. Ignition cover that I just polished is destroyed, clutch handle is broke-off (fun starting the bike in first to take-off), the Maier fairing has road rash, and sounds like something is not right behind the ignition cover. My hip hurts. Had gear on. Going to bed. Will assess the bike further tomorrow. My sincerest apologies to GLowe for the inconvenience of room & board.

No apology is necessary. I'm glad that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Ditto on what Greg posted, if I've got the part(s) they're yours.

Glad you're OK Ian. Holler if you need anything. If I have it it's yours.
