I'm from Kansas and it isn't THAT flat.

Tim,
Ya trying to save wear on the front tire?

The guy that can't go said that we can use his enclosed trailer if we want. Let me know what you think.

I loaded mine up today and only have 18" between the bikes. Can your XB fit in that?

I started loading my gear in the bag today, man I have a lot of junk to bring. Sometimes I think it's easier to bike camp, you can only carry so much that way.

is that in the enclosed trailer? that is SUPPOSED to fit 4 right? so then my xb would be backwards in between the back 2 and make it 5? can the tails of the back 2 be slid to the outside anymore? the xb tail is a couple inches narrower than the 18 inches but the front is not. not like i have never packed a bunch of blankets around some bikes that were a bit close though.

That was my 5x8 trailer, 3 max. I had the bikes out to the side about as far as they can go, had to strap the outside pegs up so that they didn't rub the rails. I'll go back over to his place and run a bike in to see how it would fit at an angle. He was pretty sure that we can get 4 in there. I just can't pull it with my SUV.

Mike,
I spent an hour yesterday trying to get my trailer out of the snow and ice.
It's still not freed up. Got more work to do this week I guess!
I'll call this week sometime and we can discuss departure details.
I'm stoked even though I'm not going to be on my bike...damn snow..

Hey.... does anyone know if the storms have effected the Suches Area? I mean, are there trees down across the roads and stuff?

Friggin' murphy's law.....

My truck took a crap on the way to work this morning...The symptoms lead me to believe I can have it fixed by Badness, but just in case...

Is anyone trailering thru/by the Pensacola area on the way to Suches? If so, and you have room for a minimal amount of camping gear, Id gladly kick you down some gas money to help with my haul. (you can help yourself to the cooler full of brew, too)

Hopefully, I wont have to resort to this.

I was in Suches yesterday and they suffered
no damage from the storms.
GT had a crew busy cleaning up at TWO getting ready for the Buellish Hordes.
I road on 60 and 180 and both were in good shape,no gravel or anything else to report.

well mike, my dad decided its a no go on borrowing his crew cab. plus he said it took them $1000 in fuel to go to the black hills snowmobiling a month or so ago.

he has a nice 4 place flatbed snowmobile trailer though that we might be able to set up to work. its mostly aluminum so it would sure be alot lighter than that enclosed one! i am going to hook it up to my blazer and see how it pulls. if my 93 S10 4.3 4 door with 145,000 on it can pull it ok im sure something ALOT newer can.

what do the trailblazers have in them? is it a 4.3 also? i know we pulled a really old steel 4 place enclosed to wisconsin and back for 5 years with our 85 2 door 2.8 4x4 blazer(but if we cant get the truck i'd rather not even attempt to use the enclosed). mine is an improvement over that and your is sure improved over mine!

Trailblazers use a 4.2 liter inline-5 cylinder engine. The new ones are 285hp, 276 ft-lbs. The earlier ones made 270hp. It'll tow it no problem, lol.

Some of them have the optional 5.3 liter V8 - 300 hp, 321 ft-lbs.

I can't wait to see that 1125r in person.

Yesterday was supposed to be a 'working on the bike' day, but ended up being a 'replace water damaged sub-floor' day.

I would have muuuuuuuch rather been working on the bike.

Thumper.... PM SENT!

If Wes and I should be able to break loose from the everyday here, what would be the best day to meet up and have some face time with all you fine folks? We could come straight there but I have an addiction in Dallas Ga(my new grand daughter) that I can't get enough of. So I will be spending a bit o' time there. I am not due to make that trip (to Dallas) for a few more weeks but Wes and I would sure like to meet up with you.

Pammy - come in on Saturday! It's truly the busiest day. Not everyone gets there early on Friday and by Sunday some have to be rolling out.

I'll be at the demo table. Hope to see you there.

Since us NEBO guys will be traveling to the South, How about hooking a couple Good ol' east coast boys up with some moonshine!

Had the pleasure to have a mason jar "Fall in my lap" last year and would LOVE to have that happen again!

I wanted to head on over to my family in Glenville, WV and pick up a mason jar or two, but can't find the time with work. I'll slip someone a few bucks for a mason jar fill of smooth moonshine.

There's a guy around here that makes (doesn't sell, purely for himself and friends) and the stuff is smooth.
