I'm looking at a possible snag on my end. The oil leak that AMS took care of a few weeks ago is back with a vengeance. I dropped it at AMS yesterday and it was in Alvarado by the EOD. Scott said he'd do everything he could to get it back on Thursday, but as in all things, there are no guarantees. I'm optimistic; just wanted to give y'all a heads up.

Duuude, I clearly cannot go all weekend without a good teeth brushing.  :P


I have high hopes and remain optimistic that my breath will indeed be fresh each day.  [thumbsup]

wow... see, that's why I hang with people who know more than me. I never would have thought to try that.  [thumbsup]

I may have a leaking radiator, I'm not sure if I'll be able to ride this weekend.  I noticed this last night while putting the bike back in street form.

Well,
I hope all these last minute bike issues clear up for the weekend, just like the weather looks to be doing.  :o

If not there is always chase vehicle duty.
A truck with ramps, tools, icechests, camera's etc. The ride won't be as thrilling but the conversations should be "top notch".  [cheeky]

Then there is kitchen duty.
That's where we sit around at the pool drinking beer talking about what we aught to cook, while we wait for hiero to get back. [laugh]

Yeah, I won't completely devastated if I can't ride the weeked.  I figure I can hug the kegs of beer to console myself

My gas tank leaks, but mostly just when it's leaned over. F-it though, I'm goin'!!

Oh, I'm going... just not sure if I'll have a scoot w/ me or not.

WooHoo!!!!!!

Leaving Friday morning, returning Monday night.

I can get a 3rd bike in the truck bed, but it might be snug on the bench seat with 3 of us... Hey! WiWa Sandwich!!!!! :P

I could take the bike & you ride with RonR?!?

Thanks Scott!!! Guess I should have mentioned I can't leave until late Friday and I will have to head back late Saturday. Not much of a trip but at least I will qualify to wear the shirt, right?  ;D

Again thanks for the offer man!  [thumbsup]

How many bikes can you fit on the trailer?  We can go if we can leave late Friday and return Sat night, also.  Also trying to qualify for T-shirt lol! ;D

Sorry to do this to you guys... but I am once again OUT  >:(

Tommy, Bonnie... sorry about the ride. I could have taken you guys but the powers that be are just not working in my favor. If its not one thing its another!  [bang]

Everyone have a good time and try not to miss me too much  ;D

You were "Officially in" for only 12 1/2 hours? Damn man, make up your mind  ;D You already said yes, so now you are committed. People are counting on you  [thumbsup]
