I should be down there later this evening on my 1200 GSA so will attempt the gravel roads with Smitty. Should be down there by 8pm or so. Look forward to seeing some of the old guys and guys that I have known for a while. Chester

I should be there also. Will probably do the gravel if that is to be an option. If not, pavement is nice. Chester

Mark, had a great time as ususal and you did spectacular with the weather. Met new guys and old guys and in discussing this with Petey, we have never met a bum at any of our gatherings, all a great bunch of guys. One good thing, at least Eric came out OK on his mishap. Best wishes on the...

I just went through my supplies and found that I have 6 oil filters, 2 air filters, 2 qts or final drive fluid, and an 05 shop manual, like new. Since I totaled my 05 FJR I have no need for the parts. They are all new and are Yamaha parts. If you are interested I will bring them with me and I...

Absolutely no problem. Us old guys are somewhat senile anyway and can't remember anything. Chester

Mmmmmmm, Catfish. I'll be there Mark. If nothing else, just to laugh at you. Seriously, sounds good. I haven't done one of these rides for too long. Smitty told me that you were having this get together and it would be good to see Petey , Zzzzip, the other old guys and the ones that I have not...

Be careful Scott. The part about a $2,500 fine and lose your vehicle really sucks. Hope all is well in your world. This summer will be make up time. Take care, Chester

Guys congratulations on making it home. I followed your Spot and it looked like some pretty rough and some pretty beautiful areas. Thanks for including me on your progress. Want to hear more as I am sure everyone else does but for now I am glad that you all made it home. Next time, Chester

Mark, I hope to be there sometime Saturday. I have a project for theses attorneys, I think that the first class attorneys take is procrastination, that once I get it done I am off the rest of the month, otherwise I would have to come back to Kansas City after the gathering. This way, I can keep...

It is looking very iffy for me to make it. I have one of the cabins reserved and if anyone wants to take it over let me know, otherwise I am going to cancel it in the morning. Thanks, Chester

Right now my main touring bike is the R1200 GSA. Got to admit, it covers the ground pretty well. Went to James Bay last summer with 3 crazy guys from here and of course the CFR with Petey. After totaling the FJR I just wanted something different although I really did like the FJR and would not...

OK Marcus I am totally in. Got a cabin and for sure will not be coming on my totaled FJR. Bike to be determined. Regardless, I spoke to Smitty and we will probably ride in together. I think that I will hang out in that area and take a Dual Sport class down in South Carolina a few days later...

Scott, I am planning on CCW. I will PM you in a day or so to see if schedules coincide and see if you have room to join you. I am going to Alaska late May taking 5-6 weeks. Chester By the way, where are you catching the ferry at and I assume it will be the 16th. I have a little further to go...

Hey CanadanFJR/Scott, that moose in the road is not the one that you sideswiped is it? Or was the one you clipped bigger? Chester By the way Scott, what is your Goosebay schedule? I plan on going there in July.

Bike is like a pair of shoes. Get it set up to fit you and you can ride for a long time. If it doesn't fit a short ride can be painful. My first longish ride was to the 05 CFO, a distance of 500 miles. Damn seat was killing me. Got a Russell Day Long and the next year went over 1,300 in less...

Kind of late to respond but just now saw this. It was Petey and myself who ran into Tony in Eureka. Petey on his FJR and me on my R1200 GSA. Had breakfast there on the way to Nakusp, BC and the CFR rally. Eureka is a cool little town and the restaurant was good. Hope to be through there again...

In Alberta and British Columbia last summer my Verizon worked OK but my partners AT&T did not work. Also went to James Bay last summer going through Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick and basically if a Canadian phone worked mine worked. Just look out for the out of country ding you will get...

Marcus, I will most probably be there. I am leaving a week or so after that for Alaska and seeing as to how this is right on the way it would not be inconvenient to stop by. It would also be a good shake down for the camping aspects of the trip. It will be good to see Rob again. Hopefuly he...

I should be there. I plan on going to Goose Bay, Labrador and could stop there on the way back. I will most probably be on my KLR however as there is 400+ miles of gravel leaving Goose Bay as I understand it. So CanadianFJR, FJRob1300, and Moosehead, are you guys up to a little side trip? Chester

Adam, first and most importantly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. There is never enough time. Well it has been a while since our first ride down at Hooterville on the Katrina weekend. Yourself, DocThrock, Smitty, and myself. I still can remember watching your wheels come briefly...
