That's a lot better than "All your ditches are belong to us".

Good call.

Well you and Marty ARE coming right...

Nope, sure won't. It was a great trip, and a great day...

Wayne,I learned my lesson leaving Murphy a couple years ago. I always have the StopNGo plug kit, sticky strings,glue & Slime Electric Pump under the seat now. I will always be grateful for the help that Sunday morning...but I ride way to much by myself, to not always have that stuff on the bike.

I guess I'll never live that one down...

 

[extrememarine]

I think Geek just volunteer to demonstrate the proper tire plugging technique

It's gonna have to warm up a LOT in the next 30 days! -20C here this morning again. Fer fecks sakes.
But were still on for the trip down. Planning on stopping at PCA on the way down and mounting up a rack and top box on Jim's VFR. He seems to think it'll only take 30 minutes. LOL!

We've got a pint or two bet on the time it takes to mount it up. I'm saying 2.5hrs and that's finishing it up with duct tape. If were late in arriving on Friday, that'll be why.

Ya Wussy, you're supposed to be wearing the long sleeved tee shirts now!!

BTW, if Jim got a Coocase, it can be put on in under 30 minutes and everything's in the kit.... no guesses on anything else.

Bungie - Have Duane ship the top box to the hotel and we can all stand around and "help" install it...

Yeah. Then it will only take 4 hours and have beer and cigar ashes spilled on it. I'll supervise help.

HA! But you know, that is a good idea! I'm gonna mention that to Jim. What could possibly go wrong?

I'll bring the duct tape, and wire ties.

 

[gray ray]

I'll bring an extra roll of duct tape.

Remember "If you can't duct it,.... it.

I should be arriving in the area about this timeframe with a couple friends from CA. Our route is bringing us up from the south via the Cherhola Skyway, Deals Gap and Blue Ridge. We're considering a diversion to Marrietta. I guess we'll see how everyone feels about doing some trips on the flat boring roads before heading back to CA.
