The only thing predictable that far out is the temperatures... highs mid-40's and lows are above freezing....

I'm riding with Bill, but I am OK for 16th or 23rd, 30th not so much but maybe. Who's got the worst ride, what say the Geeks??

Tom has about the same distance but he most likely will still be stuck in that damned snow drift.

Andy is more than likely too badly traumatized from yesterdays misadventure :( .... Hell, he may never ride again. :p

Nah, it wasn't THAT bad. Hail is noisy on the helmet, though. Luckily I was wearing my Transit jacket, so while I could feel the hail hit, it didn't hurt. The legs, though... It really only hurt when I was heading east - damn hail kept hitting me square on my left kneecap.

Cold doesn't bother me - I've got heated gloves, and Sooze got me a heated jacket liner for Christmas. If it's that cold, though, I imagine Sooze will come up in her car.

Well, Palm Sunday is on the 17th, and Easter is the following weekend. We have tentative plans Palm Sunday weekend, and definite plans Easter weekend. Since Ray can't do the 30th, if we postpone, we'd have to go to the first weekend in May.

Let's make a decision late next week and take it from there.

 
It's all up to everyone else Joe.. I think the 16th is out for some but the 23rd and 30th are open.

I would think by this time next week we should have a better idea if folks are watching this :unsure:

I need to know as food and rooms need to be arraigned. Plus no sense in cleaning the sheep if nobody's here.

The 17th is Palm Sunday and Sooze and I have tentative plans to see the in-laws.

The 24th is Easter Sunday, and I have 2 gigs playing in the brass quintet, which means I do stuff and get paid for it.

Ray is out the weekend of the 30th.

So it's either gonna be April 9th, or the first weekend in May.

Stay tuned - we'll make a decision next week.

 
You know Barry and Geek, I used to think no one on our FJR Forum could make up a better Soup Sandwich than Neil In SanDiego and Slappy with their SoCal Tech Days and their Southern California FJR day rides.

However Bust and Andy, I really do think that you two have got Neil and Jerry beaten hands down with preparing the Ultimate Soup Sandwich! Who's on first, What's on second and I Don't Know is on third! jes' sayin'

That's why they're called DISorganizers!! BTW, if you twist my arm, to make the 30th, I have to shuffle something off the 29th (the travel day), just let me know.

 
When did we become a bunch of prissy girly men living in La-La Land? I say April 8th and unless our way is blocked by 10 foot snowdrifts I say we mush our way to Owosso.

It's time to show those Left Coasters who the tough riders are around here. :p

Mind you, I'm trailering and it don't get anymore prissy & girly man than that. ;)

April 29/30 or the first two weekends in May would work for me. The original date is still good for me also.

 
Great. I just dropped $$ on a special set of tires to get down to the SW Virginia tech day this weekend...

Screw the weather, I'm heading south.

and if y'all move the date of the Owosso sheep round up, I might just have enough rubber left on the nobbies to make it...

 
It's going to happen the 9th peeps..

The weather is looking about average as far as temperatures so I see no reason to soup samich this grandiose affair.

I really need a head count for this event, sleeping space is a big concern. Food and booze? Not so much :lol:

 
I plan to be there, but never know if work is going to send me out of town or not. But, I won't be spending the night, so my head doesn't count quite as much as those that are.

Well, you all have a great time...maybe I'll make it to the next one.

 
All heads count zom.. So more than others as they contain smart areas :lol: Damn Joe, I was hoping things would change and you'd be able to make it.

We'll smoke a cigar in your honor when **** gets done. ;)
