Can't be rushin' into things! You might break something!  | ||

Crusty, I got one head.....er ah.....yeah one! You will find that pre-counting participants of Buelltoberfest and or Marchbadness akin to herding cats. It can be done, but by the time you get to the corral the count has changed. The best way to say it is "many will be there". Heck if only six show up it will likely be some of the best riding and fun you can have with your clothes on. It is likely there will be twenty. The informality is what makes it what it is. Everyone meets good people and have a good time doing so, and nobody cares if anybody cares! | ||

Hugh,did you escape the flooding?I'm seeing some pretty bad video of flooding on the news this morning. Mike- Yea, my neighborhood is OK, but several major streets and roads near me have damage or are completely washed out. I imagine some towns are still in for the worst when water from the upstate swells the rivers in the lowcountry. | ||

The informality is what makes it what it is. Everyone meets good people and have a good time doing so, and nobody cares if anybody cares! That's what I like, I'm not a clubby kind of person, but getting together with a bunch of similarly non-conformist types, yeah I'm good for that! | ||

And everybody rides a piece of SH*T! I'll explain that one around the campfire after a few beers!  | ||

Sorry you guys are having to go thru that weather. Just a taste of how we have lived on texas gulf Coast with storms coming thru. The low country that was mentioned, I saw on fb where the stingrays have delayed their training camp due to weather. Anyone here stingrays fans? I've followed them for bout three years now. Went to game 7 of the kelly cup playoffs in allen, tx. They got their butts handed to them. First time I've seen goalie replacement at beginning of 3rd period. Pitiful, but I'm almost over that now with new season bout to start. | ||

They told us in the 70s that the US was going metric. Only reason I know ANY metric is USN. | ||

We did go (mostly) metric, it is the old and decrepit that hang onto imperial measurements!  | ||

Frogs- one of these days, I'll treat you to a yard of good beer... Hope it aint a coon's age before I see ya. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Well if it was good enough for granpaw... | ||
| Hughlysses |
I don't think you have to worry about rain. All of it fell here a couple of weeks ago; there shouldn't be any left.  | ||
| Buellish |
Hugh,any improvement in the roads around you?Will you make to Buelltoberfest? | ||
| Pwnzor |
Am I reading this right? Will there be a Brony in our midst? | ||
| Hughlysses |
Hugh,any improvement in the roads around you? Will you make to Buelltoberfest? Yea, most of the major roads are re-opened. It's not looking too good for me right now- scheduling conflict for next weekend plus a sketchy belt and the replacement isn't supposed to get here until Friday afternoon. I haven't quite given up yet, though. | ||
| Tootal |
Zac is right. In the 70's I was in trade school and they started pushing the Metric system but it was too late. We were all thinking in thousands of an inch by then. If the Kings foot is 12 inches then that's good enough for me! Packing up today and will be in Nashville tomorrow and Ellijay Georgia on Thursday. Should be at the TWO lodge Friday evening. I'll be the guy with a crutch and a case of Yuengling.  (Message edited by tootal on October 13, 2015) | ||

Hey, my car gets 200 furlongs to the hogshead and that's the way I like it! | ||
| Tootal |
An African or European Hogshead? | ||
| Pwnzor |
European sir, I follow the Imperial standard. | ||
| Crusty |
I'm back on the Road. Tonight, I plan to camp at the Mt. Pisgah Campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway again, then ride to TWO tomorrow and set up camp there. I hope everybody who was thinking about going shows; It's going to be fun! | ||
| Pwnzor |
I'll be there Friday late afternoon. | ||
| Froggy |
Anyone that has camped at TWO, what is the power situation like? I need about 40-50 Amps to recharge overnight | ||
| Pwnzor |
Any special kind of plug needed? What are you riding/driving? | ||
| Pwnzor |
Oh, and FYI I'm bringing my Chromecast and laptop so we can watch live MotoGP | ||
| Froggy |
I probably exaggerated by about 49 amps, good old fashioned 120V outlet will do to keep my giant bag of toys charged. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Oh, and FYI I'm bringing my Chromecast and laptop so we can watch live MotoGP I believe they show it in the lodge on Sunday morning as well. | ||
| Pwnzor |
There are plenty of 120v power options, no problem there. |
