Re: Good Weather
Fuzzy wrote: If you guys can change back you might want to reconsider bailing. Among other reasons, I haven't gotten to be on my bike for more than 1/2 hour at a time yet this year. (Stupid salt-covered roads...) That does not prepare me well for 2 full days of riding. And my MP3 is still needing some stuff checked out and probably some work done, so I don't know that I'd be comfortable bringing it anyway. Besides, because I wasn't going to be gone, when the worship leader at my church texted me he needed me to play guitar this week, I said yes, so now I'm committed there. I look forward to seeing the pics and hearing the stories, but I won't be able to make it. Mark |

Despite my concerns about the weather, I am still planning on making it tomorrow. Its a six hour drive so it wont be until five or six o'clock that I arrive. Still not sure which scoot I will bring, but probably the Silverwing - it does the best job of shedding rain!
The weather forecast has changed quite a lot since two days ago. Looks like Friday's rain won't be heavy, and Saturday will probably be mostly sunny. Good thing is that the temperature will be nice, unlike last weekend. |

Grrr - I have to change bikes. Was doing a quick inspection and noticed my rt rear quarter panel was loose. Upon investigation I found 2 broken tabs - I'm lucky I didn't lose the whole panel on a ride, tho I guess it wouldn't matter, as it's now useless. It exposes too much wiring to the weather to risk riding it.
So, it'll be Chieftain or BV 350. Game time decision tomorrow - early favorite is BV, as it has a lot more dry storage available. |

I hate to do it but I am going to join the ranks of the no-shows. Between the rotten weather, the long drive to get there and the thought of riding in the rain for two days, I decided that I would rather spend the day and the weekend with my wife in our dry and cozy home.
What solidified my decision to bail is that when I was about to load the scooter it started to pour! Looked like a sign to me (or would it be an omen?). You guys be safe while you are riding. |

When on a check ride, all parts must be experienced.
OAD - posted in case you wimp out. Fuzzy gracefully offered to pay for the ice cream. I paid a $2 tip because that was all we ate. They asked Fuzzy if it was Senior scoops. He said that they were scoops and the guy at the table was a senior. Ice cream only cost 11 cents. At least that's the way I heard it. ![]() |

well call me a wimp out, as i thought today was wed and thought I had another day left in this week. there is no way I can make it tomorrow.
Jake is doing better but he requires constant monitoring so he does not re-injure his disc again while its trying to heal. poor guy has to be on a leash just to go out and potty for the next 2 weeks. The meds he is on makes him go pee 3 times more than normal too. Enjoy the ice cream stops fellas. |
