Uhhh phrasing! About 3 hours for each one, but I am printing on the highest quality settings, which uses more material. I currently have them printed out in Red, Yellow (barricade orange), black, white, and blue. I did print one in Carbon Fiber, it ended up messing up my printer so no more of those for now, but it does weigh 4 grams instead of 5 like the regular PLA plastics. I attempted to print one in a rubbery flexible filament, but had zero luck getting it to stick.  I do have lime green printing as we speak, since it will take 9 hours I won't know until morning how good or bad it comes out. Tomorrow I'll try one in glow in the dark, and I also have some copper infused (supposedly will turn green as it oxygenates), and some turquoise.  | ||

Gretchen and I are back in the "maybe" column.... got some unexpected occurrences transpiring. Update later in the week. Right now, it's looking like both of us in the Spyder, no motorcycle. Show up around lunch time and leave after dinner. Will firm it up later. | ||

I'm in. I'll be splitting a room with Vern, and geez if I don't NEED this trip! Picked up a nice used Cortech jacket yesterday, woohoo! | ||

My plan is to roll up Friday, head to Chesnee SC early Saturday morning, hang there for a good while, then roll back for what I expect to be a dang nice dinner with Mike and his wife! Hugh, any idea what that might be as of yet?  I'm just in dire need of some quality wheelin' time, and some shits and giggles with all you nutters. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Brad- No idea yet, but we're headed up tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as I find out. | ||

Cool beans buddy! Just looked at the route to Chesnee SC, and there are several other routes south to make it there... I'll study on that and report. I checked out the link you posted for Chesnee's festival- sounds like they've got quite a bit going on! I'd love another ride down that highway to Blowing Rock and Lake Lure, did that YEARS ago on my old '82 R65 after Asheville's last Honda Hoot- looks like after that there are a couple of doglegs over to Chesnee. Depending on time, I could do fast there, slow back, or vice versa. Pretty sure that'll be my Saturday itinerary...  Spoke with Vern earlier today, we're both jonesing for next weekend! | ||

 Days to go... We'll be loading up and heading out in a few hours. | ||

Hugh, check the weather going towards next weekend... here in E TN they're calling for 50-60% chance of rain. I believe Saturday will be drier. Hoping NOT to have to break out the rain gear in this humidity, but heck, even in the rain the BRP is pretty nice! | ||
| Hughlysses |
^ Brad- I'll keep an eye on the weather this week. We rolled in about 5 PM:  | ||

Just spoke with Mike a few minutes ago, so I'll be riding down on Thursday. See you guys soon! | ||

I like the new sign for the covered motorcycle parking:  | ||

That's outstanding! Wish I was going to be there. Thinking about Ribeye's and some of that strawberry pie has my mouth watering What's for Breakfast?  | ||
| Hughlysses |
Same as always: scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes for $7. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I thought it was bacon, scrambled eggs and a side of pancakes... | ||
| 86129squids |
 ... I LOVE that sign! And, IIRC I might have taken a picture of Mike's breakfast menu. Love a guy with that kind of humor. | ||

What about Spam, Eggs, Bacon and Spam? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE (Message edited by Crusty on July 24, 2017) | ||

^ I was just thinking of that. He has a sign up on the counter in the dining room that says something like this: Breakfast Eggs, bacon, and pancakes- $7 Eggs and bacon- $7 Bacon and pancakes- $7 Eggs and pancakes- $7 Eggs- $7 Bacon- $7 Pancakes- $7 Check out the new beer mugs:  | ||

Check out the new beer mugs: mug I think we've been mugged of that mug! Well, at least I can't see it... | ||

Sorry about the humongous image size. | ||

I'm coming on Worn tires and planning on leaving on worn out tires. Got new set ready to spoon on. Like the mugs. Any formal group rides or just riding a la carte? | ||
| Hughlysses |
It's usually just a la carte, but if people are up for an organized ride, we could do the "Murder Mountain Run": http://www.blueridgemotorcycling.com/ride-maps/mur der-mountain-run/ 114 miles, 3.5 hours plus a food stop. | ||

FWIW, I'm planning on heading down Saturday to that Chesnee SC town whooptedoo. I know the roads there and back will be awesome, hoping to roll through Blowing Rock and Lake Lure on either the down or back. Gotta study the maps a bit more. My truck locked up its motor yesterday, and I've budgeted for this trip regardless. NEED some wheelin' time, knees in da breeze. F* it, I'm heading that way. Hoping to roll with Vern, at least half or most of the way up the BRP. Weather will affect some things, or not. | ||
| Hughlysses |
If anyone's interested, we could alternatively ride to Chesnee to the antique bike meet on Saturday morning. 58 miles/1 hour 16 minutes one-way according to google maps. Not too much in the way of twisties on that route, but it'd probably be a nice ride. | ||
