Weights deliverd today, I'll be taking my wheels off the bike, as the rear is not holding air anymore, and bringing the tires, weights and wheels down in the car. I have extra weights, if anyone needs.

 
I'm going to load the Urinal up with FJR stuff, just in case we need extras. I have a pretty comprehensive valve shim kit, misc. small hardware and a bunch of electrical goodies. Hell, I could bring a kitchen sink on that bike if somebody told me it was needed.

If by "kitchen sink" you really mean "beer," then, yes, by all means bring the kitchen sink.

This is no problem. Any suggestions from the group on the flavor of said kitchen sink would be helpful.

 
Andy thanks for hosting but we will have to miss this one.

We have our family with us from Naples that had to evacuate the hurricane. It looks like they will be here for a little bit til things get sorted out down there.

Thanks Andy,

They have been getting some random reports from down there.

My parents have a ground floor condo, no solid info so far.

A brother lives in a condo, no word about the condition of their place either.

Another brother has a house and has trees down and shingles missing according to a neighbor.

At least everyone was safe...

 
This Friday Denny and I are meeting up at the gas station in New Concord,Ohio at 11:00 AM. Ohio Rts. 40 & 83. We are planning to head towards ,The Hocking Hills area before

heading to Geeks. This intersection is very close to I-70. Anyone coming up 77 or East on 70 is welcome.

One word of caution, Denny has a new blood supply to his head, his heart, and his testicles. He has picked up game a few clicks.

So should we expect you on Friday? Staying the night?

 
Quick question: for those coming in Friday, can you give me a rough ETA? I know that the Great White Invasion Farce usually arrives late afternoon.

Just trying to get a feel so that we know when to expect folks.

 
My son Trevor is unable to make it to the Tech Day, but decided to bless us all with no rain through the weekend! That was really nice of him. He's a good kid and is always looking out for us. Let's hear it for Trevor. We all owe him one.

I'm 6 hours freeway and plan to depart at 5am to avoid traffic, but side roads and "squirrel!" are in my forecast, so late afternoon sounds about right

 
I am only an hour from Marysville. New on the board, but I know couple of the riders that are coming. I may ride over Saturday to hangout. Can I get a PM with the address?
