Tech Day in Southwest Virginia

[extrememarine]

this might delay my departure an hour or 3 on Friday morning...

Wish I had a paved driveway would post a pic if I knew how. After raining for 3 days you need 4wd an atv or a dual sport bike,to get down the 1/2 mile of mud and ruts. Yes neighbors are not into buying gravel and at $400 a load cant fuss at them to hard. :dribble:

But the UV index is so low! You won't need sunscreen at all!

It looks like we are going to have a great tech day. If everybody is able to show up we should have around 15 people from 6 states. The weather is looking a little iffy right now, but I hope that will change. I'm looking forward to meeting every body and learning a lot of stuff.

Any of you darksiders planning to attend? It's going to be a bit cold and we need some car tires to burn for heat!

Anybody coming with an '05. We can raise the tank and let everyone stand around your running motor.

Darksiders

If any dark siders were going to stop by, they'd either get there late Sunday or have to leave today, cause once they hit those SW VA curves...

If mine were an 05 I would run mud tires on it !!

Well boys and girls, the weather forecast for Friday and Sunday has improved a bit. That's good since many, if not most people will be traveling on those days. We'll be huddled indoors around FJRs doing surgery on Saturday.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and learning how to keep my bikes serviced. Here's hoping for an even better wx forecast as the week progresses. See you Saturday!

Got an address and phone # for the one you are staying at? My plan is to look at the weather on Friday and make the call as to if I am coming over or not. If I do come I will call and make a reservation before heading out.

Damn weather and totally different forecast depending on where you look. I will there even if I have to install a studded car tire to make it.

Current weather.com report is calling for SNOW :dribble: . I don't mind wet so much, as long as it is not in conjuntion with COLD. I am hoping for a break in the weather.

Sounds like a plan !! Better book a room now ,looks like most where taken when I reserved mine.

 

[rcpd807]

I just reviewed 3 different weather forecast and they all look more favorable than they did 24 hours ago. :yahoo:

Hopefully everyone coming from the surrounding states will have good forecast as well.

Extrememarine might have a different forecast to deal with up in his neck of the woods, but with the dirt bike tires he posted earlier mounted, he should be able to make it.

Looking forward to meeting everyone Saturday.
