Joe, what is your ETA for Rock Cave? I will be following 20 through there, not in a rush and if I meet you there, I could be part of a Tyler RR. I haven't done that in a few years.

Huh! I had to look up Rock Cave. WV20 looks like big fun. I can get a route worked out that includes that!

Heading out tomorrow between 8-9 Should be there somewhere between 4-6.

That's about when I'm shoving off too. Planning on a circuitous route. See you'nz around beer:30.

Gonna be a serious confluence of bikes. CAN'T WAIT!

Don,

The attachment is your reservation confirmation for the Best Western Rio Grande Inn. It's a nice hotel, right off of Old Town.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Later

AJ

The eagle has landed.... well, in Pittsburgh. Tomorrow, will pick up the rental car and drive to Sutton to pick up and pack up the rental then off to Lewisburg with El Toro Joe... Yee Hawwww!! B)

We arrived last night, without incident... aside from the 18-wheeler that caught fire 20 minutes before the hotel. We arrived on the scene right as the fire department closed the road.

I'll be posting photos on Flickr, https://www.flickr.com/photos/tby/albums/72157656699721014

Well If I'd have known you were arriving in PIT, I could have been a welcoming committee...well maybe not at 1:40 AM, but still.

Headed out tomorrow sans brother and other riding partner from RVA. Looking to test the waterproofness of my Aerostich Transit 2 suit. See ya there

 

[beemerdons]

Miss Donna and BeemerDonS are in Room 143, already seen dozens of the Goofy FJR Forum Crew and the Crazy Canuckistanis eh! JSNS, PARTY!

 

[LKLD]

Made it to Florence SC for the night. 4 hours of riding in the rain, but our spirits are still high.



Should get to EOM tomorrow afternoon...with rain predicted all the way. Thanks Vic.

 

[majicmaker]

Yeah, blame me. I'll be as wet as you. It's all good. Riding anyway!

 

[El Toro Joe]

EOM...it's on!

Just pulled in. Ride down was great except for my right side case bouncing off in Indiana. Had a nice lady tell me where it was. I had no idea exactly where it came off. Had to back track about 15 miles and cross over. It was almost exactly where she said. The bag is scratched up bad, but still worked. The expansion joints were bone jarring on that part of the interstate. I had a couple of ROC straps and it took me quite a while to get it secure enough to get out of the median. Got to a rest stop and then another 30 min to really get it secure enough for the rest of the trip. Totally disappointed that the party was over before I got here. The western contingent already turned in for the night. Weak!!! It was only 11 Western time. See u hosers in the morning!!

 

[beemerdons]

Thank God we had a Goofy Canadian to keep us Gringos straightened out, Billy Fitz: Large and in Charge, eh! JSNS, King of the Hosers!

"Damnit KJ, I told you I wanted the black shirt not the blue wicking"! "My Bad Debbie, I'll get you a Mercedes Benz SL; OK." JSNS

Rayzerman: "What are you looking at, ya Zonie Gringo?" Grumpy Canucks! At least the German Guy was very nice, our Herr Petey!

extrememarine Wayne on the left doing EOM homework and Russ - rushes minding the store; always great to see Amigo rushes!

 

[Niehart]

Glad to see these three that got kicked out of Oregon [RR4] made it to the next road show.

Hope the Flaming Gorge was a little drier on their second run through.

 

[rushes]

No. Not pink. Not red. I want purple... lol

I got a call last night from work saying they need me to fly Sunday on a three day trip. Ok, I can still make Lewisburg Friday night, but I'll have to go home Saturday morning. I left Chattanooga this morning in the cold rain, resigned to take the highways to just get there. When I got to Knoxville, the allure of warmer/drier weather to the north, my own bed and the chance to spend one whole day with my family before I have to leave again (been gone since the 15th) was just too much to resist. I'm home. There's always next year.

Ride safe everybody.

 

[majicmaker]

That sucks! But, that's aviation for you. Never fails to ruin a good time.

 

[Bungie]

Made it into Lewisburg just after 6pm.

About 15 miles from town on Hwy 60 they had the road closed because of a downed powerline. The poor girl standing the in rain tried to give us the 'simple' directions.

"Go back to Rainelle, and turn left at the CVS follow that for about 4 miles until you see the brown spotted cow. Not the solid brown one...."

Good thing everybody in front of us lived in the area and we just followed them down a single lane mountain road with oncoming traffic being detoured from the other direction, at night, in the rain, towing a trailer. What fun!

Got some food in me, and a quick shower, I'll unload the bike tomorrow.
