RD, those bags are insane. I love them. I'm counting down hours now... | ||
| Ourdee |
Thanks everyone. It's easy to have a good looking bike when you start with an XB. I'm coming in by way of Kingsport, Tennessee. Buellish, Next year in Suches! | ||

Mike; You will be missed | ||
| Pwnzor |
Mike, any idea if we'll see Joe up there this weekend? | ||
| Buellish |
Matthew,look for Joe on a DR650 Suzuki or his black Bonneville. | ||
| Tootal |
Sorry you can't make it Mike but good on ya for helping out the family. Catch you next time! | ||
| Pwnzor |
Make ready all systems for takeoff. I have to go to the bank and finish laundry... It's just a matter of a few hours now. Already beginning the decompression process. | ||
| Ourdee |
YES.... Laundry done. Bank when it opens. license, same. Have to clean the office this evening and try to get to sleep early. I will get to see my two youngest sisters on the way to Twos. I haven't seen them in over 29 years. There may be a hand full of nieces and nephews there that I've never seen. And a Brother-n-Law I've never met too. I think I like him already. | ||
| Pwnzor |
I'm here. | ||

Have fun, Matthew! Pics as you go, I'll enjoy them vicariously. Hope you found that place I mentioned, and the peaceful place you're seeking. RD- what a gift! I've only one sister, a stepdad, and two aunts left on my dad's side. Plus a few awesome cousins. Cherish your family, claim new ones as life goes along. | ||
| Pwnzor |
....yeah... Got the tent in place just in time for a torrential downpour... Waiting it out so I can put up my hammock | ||

You should be out of it in 20 minutes or so according to the RADAR. | ||

Matthew, Have you went back for the car yet? I broke down and installed the wiring for my Gerbings on the bike. (just in case) Last year I endured wetness and low temps on the way home. I can throw the Gerbing jacket liner, gloves, and socks in a bag with the controller on top of my top case. It will just draft off me, if I don't use them. Will keep me from shivering if needed. It's hard to convince myself to stop and hook them up. | ||
| Ourdee |
Lucky Dog! I love a tent and some rain. I'm jealous. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Seems to be passing by... The car is here, I will go back for the bike tomorrow probably. I just wanted to get camp set up and not have to pack everything on my back | ||
| Ourdee |
I get it. Makes perfect sense. My wife used to tell me she would truck in my gear for me at HomeComing. I just had to say the word. | ||
| Ourdee |
In 2 hours I have to do 2 hours work. Get a little sleep and hopefully I'll be on the road by 4 or 5 in the morning. Should see you on Thursday. | ||
| Crusty |
There will be a few of us arriving on Thursday. I'm not excited. Really; I'm not    | ||

Matthew, I'll allow you first dibs if I ever sell the Beemer. No problems packing gear on that thing. Back when I had the XBSX, I managed to pack enough kit to equal a human passenger. Silly, but it worked. Vern remembers- I chased down about 6 E TN sport riders going back on 360. Didn't quite catch/pass the ZX10 before 411, but what the hey. I think I cooked the motor on that run... | ||

They are saying 42 degrees tomorrow morning. I hope to leave at 7:00. I just put the liner in my jacket and broke out the riding pants. I didn't wash the bike either, why invite rain!! John, I hope to be there around 2:00. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Mike from Florida is here... 2002 Cyclone | ||
| Tootal |
Heading out in five minutes. John, I said 2:00 but I forgot about the time change so make that around 3:00. | ||
| Crusty |
I'll be here. Packing is underway, I just stopped for a minute for a cup of coffee. I don't believe I'll wash the bike today. She's fairly clean and I don't want to provoke the weather gods. The ride home from April Buells in the rain was a miserable test of my endurance. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Saw Joe at TWoS earlier, and now I'm at Tellico Grains bakery... Got the last 3 bacon biscuits and ordered a pizza. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Ate a whole pizza by myself and bought the last three cheddar bacon biscuits. Back at TWoS now, and managed to get a fire started even though it's windy... The wood is pretty wet And, as you can see I pretty much have the place to myself | ||

I made focaccia bread pizza two days ago- very good, but not quite TGB good! It's hard to beat a wood-fired pizza. And, I guess you know that's Benton's bacon on those bisquits!   |
