    EOM 2019 Discussion

    Lewisburg has been frequented for several years, '07 & '08 then there was a more recent meet there. was it '17? Lewisburg was a good location. My favorite, actually. I really liked it there. Good roads all around & the other amenities that we search for are readily available. MV was good, too. I...

    The banquet room factoid may go for Hampton Inn & CI & Suites... but Holiday Inn's website had the actual banquet facilities layout shown. It looked pretty big. I believe it stated that it can seat between 120-140 peeps & the only downside of Cumberland Falls was the dry county thing... but that...

    Wayne, did some preliminary research on Beckley, WV yesterday. Also planned to look at Summersville, WV. Beckley has several hotels that would likely work... Country Inn & Suites, Holiday Inn & Hampton Inn all have banquet/meeting facilities, food & gas nearby. The Holiday Inn which is the...

    Forgive me for saying this but there has been scenic rides in EOM planning for those more interested in sedate riding. Just not ALL the rides. lol! I'm thinking that if we pick PA sedate for the most part is what is going to happen... minus a couple of good ones.Probably no stringing good ones...

    well, If there isn't mountains you can count me out. Lol! I voted for further north but by further north I'm thinking VA or WV-ish. I realize there are "some" hills & bumps in PA but is the intention to sight see ride? I'd be looking for technical riding for the most part, personally... but...

    no start.... please help if you can

    It was somewhere a little more than 2 years, I think. I remember on the way to EOM we had stopped to gas up & here we go, hot start... it again started dragging/slow starting. I was with Bob & Tyler when that happened. I remember looking at Bob like "oh ****!" Pretty sure that was 2ish EOMs...

    Bike is home. Took Amtrak into Fredericksburg on Friday & rode home on Saturday morning. Bike starts great with a new battery & starter! Thanks again Bob! I'll be looking into a new ignition switch to swap out old on tech day when I have the extra moolah to do so.

    Rather positive news? The kindness around here gives me the chills... as in it makes my nipples hard.

    Hey ya'll, thanks for the advice on this. & Bob is right... starting has indeed been an issue for awhile. I thought that it was solved after he replaced the starter. I still had the issue a few months later.. It was always when hot. I guess whatever is actually going on finally **** the bed. I...

    Well, I suppose that's good news... except all the work to get that starter out in the first place.

    Yes Dcarver... lots of corrosion. I am aware. I live @ the beach & bike lives outdoors. Its covered but... I live at the beach. Ya' know what, the starter relay just went through my head while I was at lunch, today. Don't know why... guess I was being psycho or psychic. I'm really not savvy to...

    I just heard from Bob. Looks like it is likely the switch. He's going to bypass it @ sometime today. to be 100% sure. I'll let him expound on this.

    Time to give up my beloved StreetPilot 2820...

    lol! I absolutely dread the day when I need to shitcan my beloved Garmin 276C. I have a computer that I'd never have if I didn't need the GPS software within. I do think that I have the software on disk somewhere. There is a big question of "where". & what I've found regarding the maps... there...
