Well, it's a week away, and I'm watching the weather like a hawk. If the weather is nice, I'm gonna pull my typically "ride east...wind up in Suches...start looking for people I know" routine. I will also need a place to sleep. I'm not picky..the floor would be fine. I may toss my camping gear on and do the tent thing if no one has extra space. I know I'm awfully non-commital, but I work a job that demands a tight schedule...so when I get time off....I plan nothing. Go with the flow.  | ||

Hey Chad- count on at least the floor for lodge room #3. Three beds: I'm splitting with Graham, hopefully Vern will make it Friday... but he might have to wait and show up Saturday. So, floor's garonteed, and maybe you could warm the 3rd bed up Friday for the old bastid. IIRC there are some comfy sofas up in the living room of the lodge... and LOTS more floor.  Still riding that Husky? | ||

"If the weather is nice..." Yeah, obviously everyone's praying for good weather. Given that we're all BadWeatherBikers, I'm hedging my bets- gonna ride on new, hopefully scrubbed in Avons with the slow bike. If need be, with rainsuit on. Need to waterproof my boots and gloves! I've found that riding in the rain doesn't have to suck, as long as my gear and my bike, and my mind are prepared. Riding slower, with rain gear holding dry, to me is very serene, almost relaxing. | ||

With the banter of Mike, Matt and Glitch today, the true meaning of the last fortune I got in a fortune cookie finally hit me:  Proper...errr...I mean Prosper! 1313 | ||

The porch at TWoS today...  And the view from Richard B Russell Scenic Highway...  Got to the top of Blood Mountain after having some ribs up at Jim's Smokin' BBQ (just as good as ever BTW) and got rained on. Nothing could spoil this day, so I just put my visor up and let the rain hit me in the face as the spray from my rear tire coursed down my back. Omelette for breakfast, ribs for lunch, plenty of good riding... and just over 6 days until I'm back up there again. Tick tock.... | ||

My son and I will be up friday, staying the night and riding/hanging at two sat. We will be on a K1200GT as the Uly is in need of a heart transplant. | ||

Charlie,don't tell me you killed the Uly!It will be great to see you and Hayden this coming weekend. | ||

"Charlie,don't tell me you killed the Uly!"  Having ridden with you Chuckles, I understand how the Uly may have been kilt... back in the day I kilt the original motor on my CityX, certainly part of it was chasing you! Looking forward to seeing all you miscreants. | ||

Well yesterday I managed to put a trailer wiring harness on the new cage, along with a hitch. I hooked up the trailer this morning and all the lights came on in the right places. I will be driving to Ellijay Georgia on Thursday and staying with friends there. I will ride over to Suches after breakfast on Friday. I haven't ridden for than 10 miles since I trashed my heel last July so I figured jumping on and riding 500 miles in a day wasn't very smart. My wrist and my ass are not broke in yet and it's amazing how much strength you loose after being layed up for a while! So when we go for a ride I'll take the rear and knock the rust off! | ||

Repost: Holler at me if anyone has an empty bed, looking to share expenses... might invite a good buddy down for the shindig. Late word by Thursday early evening, if you can. | ||

BTW, Matthew, how are you doing? Holla!  |
