No biggie Zack. That's a nice mileage break up anyway. I like to get off and stretch every 75-100 miles and gassing up is always a good idea out in the country. Never know when the Mom and Pop gas station down the road might be closed.

Hey, if you guys seriously are going to cut the ride short and be back at work on Monday AND you are wanting to trailer it up when are you ever going to find time to ride your bikes? Just asking? [moto] Maybe I missed something.

So it sounds like Scott, Patrick, Zack, Tommy and me are good to go. Maybes are Kevin, Swanny,??? Am I leaving people out? Hard to keep a running total on a long thread. Sound off people.

PRESENT SIR!

Oh wait, that's Obama speak.  .... Ok, how about this, I want to go.  I am planning on going.  I arrive on the 16th, late Tuesday from Indy.  Let's meet after that.

If you trailer up then you need to make sure that you are there for the Sunday loop.  If you keep the long stops to a minimum on Sunday and leave to ride early Sunday morning then you can probably make it back to the hotel by 5 PM or so.  You can then load up and haul butt back to Dallas via I-40 and US75.

Probably a waste of time to trailer up on Saturday, ride a couple of hours Sunday morning, then trailer back home.

Cool Charles! Probably missed you in an earlier post. It's been a long thread. Glad you can make it!

Everyone should start making their sacrifices to the weather Gods now in hopes that we don't have another Hurricane Ike dump rain on us that weekend.

I'm def in, but the last third of my left pinkie's a maybe

now I am starting to feel kinda sad that I can't make this trip..........kinda sorta bummed out, but not totally.....

You could find a way

whatcha gonna vroom vroom on?

For the record, I'm taking the Millenium Buzzard (aka Turkey Killer, aka Battlestar Galactica... OK, the Busa!) and since she is kinda a pack mule I will be taking the "road tool box". That means Cycle Pump (so we have a mini air compressor), plug kit (but someone else please bring another, Scott's back tire did not like my plugs but did like Alan's), CO2 cartridges and valve stem attachment (Cycle Pump back up), valve stem tool, good assortment of metric combination wrenches, allen wrenches and allen sockets, 3/8" ratchet and breaker bar, good assortment of metric sockets (ending around 19mm), big ass Crescent for axle nuts, flat & phillips screwdrivers, plenty of zip tie wraps, duct tape, needle nose, small Channel Lock and small vise grip pliers and in honor of Rich some JB Weld, etc.

No tire irons because this damn time we'll be having no tire troubles. You hear me? If there is something really weird and specific to your sled then bring it. Stuff like special big ass Ducati SSSA axle nut sockets, things like that... gee, try finding that in Podunk AR?? Like I said, if it's something you think your bike might need then bring it. I've got all the other run of the mill stuff covered.

I'll bring some tools in the cage

Anyone have the link to the hotel handy, or know what their rates are?

I know.....I am mentally working on it.

Screw it......I AM GOING!

Got the new rear tire and everything should be set unless something very important and way unexpected comes up before then.

I will try to print off the route maps and bring them to the AMS race watch this weekend so people who are going can look over the maps.

Swanny

Sweet! Excellent news. Not sure if I'm going to the race watch but I'll grab a copy on Saturday morning when we meet up. I can look it over that night at the Holiday Inn. [moto] Thanks for all the route work and printing.
