Bled the brakes and clutch yesterday. Speeed bleeders rock! Doesn't get any easier than that. (well short of paying someone else to do it!) Last thing will be new front tire if my tire pressure sensor arrives and then mount and wire the TPMS.

I am really pumped about this trip! First campout of the year. Four day weekend. Getting to see my old riding peeps and meeting some new. Today and the next two are going to go by sooooo sloooowww!
2nd campout this year for me. Did BRMC a month ago to "test" the equipment. ;) Friday off, oil changed, pumpkin oil changed, and rear tire changed...ready!
Scott, Heidi, Jay and I are hooking up in South Boston around 11 AM and then meeting Joe in Hillesville around 1330. You could shoot up 29 and meet us if you are heading out thursday.
Hmm, well, I had planned on leaving Friday, but my boss just told me I could split Thursday. As long as my neighbor can watch the dog one day earlier (they should be ok with it), then I'm a go! Do I need to see about reserving a spot at HMSP or is there still room with the spot splits mentioned earlier?

Burnspot, you may need to make a reservation unless we pick someone else up that wants to meet there. I think that Bob & Janet are splitting with Joe & I'm splitting with Jay. I think that Art (Roadrunner) is planning to meet us there. You may check with him. HMSP's sites are $26 including the tax. I'd definitely check with Roadrunner.

Mike (Powerman) is coming with us. I don't know if he has made a reservation. I will call him. I don't know about Art either.

 
Scott,

Mike is splitting with Art. If we can squeeze 3 tents on a 20 x 20 spot we can do a three way. (I can't believe I posted that)

 
Ahhh, I'd forgotten about Mike! Do you thing that buying him a Red Bull for Friday morning consumption will spark his attention into being ready to leave the campground when everyone else is ready to go?

I am also in touch with a local friend who may be interested in riding with us. I will let you know if he's interested in joining us for the weekend.

Reservation made, tent c, for Thursday. :D
Awesome! We are meeting at the Sheetz at the corner of 501 and 58/360 at 1130. We will be heading towards Danville. There is a Subway on the westbound side just before the airport. We could probably be there 1200-1215. We then plan to stop for roadside picninc lunch at Lover's Leap on 58.

Sounds very similar to my route back from EOM last year (a lot of 58); I'll meet up with you all @1130 at Sheetz then. :D

BTW, do you still have my phone number? If not, let me know and I'll PM it to you (I still have yours unless your fan club forced you to change it. ;) ). I DO run a Sena these days.

I just sent you a PM.

 
We might try to make Hungry mothers, but we won't be leaving Chesterfield until 4 thursdays afternoon. btw can anyone tell me what kind of cigars does Powerman/Mike smoke?

 
Thanks luvtoride, Intech already reminded me today of waiting to leave at the campground. I broke my XM antenna, can't ride with no tunes on the slab!

Intech is a ****, he's wishing bad things for me? Shouldn't that **** up his karma?

Mike, You have it all wrong. I have never wished bad things on you. It's just that when you are around and bad things happen they always seem to happen to you. Why do you think I always invite you along? Seriously, what's wrong with a little fun between friends? Looking forward to this ride. :yahoo:

Not always Bob. Last year on the way home from the campout I was riding with Mike and I got a screw in my rear tire, and I used Mikes string to fix it.

Yeah , I still want to know what's in those cigars. :blink:

FYI Mr Mike, I heard from others about other times. You want that Red Bull? lol

& no further comments.

& I'm really looking forward to this. Looking @ weather it's looking good. See you @ Sheetz!
