I am getting worried. I have all three tires on order from Motosport but they will not be in stock until Thursday.
Anyone have a source with City Grips 2 in stock?

Too many things going on since we made the original plans to see you all. Had to back out.
Cancelled our cabin this morning. Was really looking forward to seeing our old friends again, and meeting the rest of the group. Ride safe, and see you all down the road. Dan and Candace |

OK all my tires are here. A Vespa shop in Shelbyville said they would mount and balance them for me. Today I am doing the belt and oil change and checking the other consumables. Also mounting a gps and getting my helmet radio installed.
I am leaving on Wednesday bound for Maryville, TN. Thursday I plan to do the tail of the dragon and then head down through Robbinsville and on to Vogel. Here is my route https://tinyurl.com/35uz9v3m if anyone wants to meet up somewhere on the way. |

So one thing I hadn't thought about for hot weather riding until last week when it was mid-90s here was to remember to bring & put on Chapstick when you're out riding. Even with a full face helmet, my lips were drying out...
Note to self: Also remember evaporative vest, Camelback, sunscreen, etc... Mark |

Got home in time to meet my wife at church. Mostly sunny skies on way home and no hint of rain. Repeated start of Saturday's ride but went straight on 64 without turning north towards Tellico. (Bakery closed on Sundays anyway). Even less traffic than Saturday so great start to day.
Had a great time and already looking forward to September.

Thanks all! We had a great time, as usual. Vogel is one of our fav's... Such a fantastic State Park and beautiful area. The rides were fantastic. Although it was a bit hot on Friday, a few sprinkles cooled things down for some more, but cooler, great riding on Saturday. Thanks Cubs for the added Cooler Run with me.
Great to see some new faces, as well as having Sticky join us again. OAD was missed by all. Thanks to Fuzzy, as always!

Got home about 9:45pm after 735 miles and a good lunch at Buc-ees. A super event and Vogel is a great place for the Gathering.
Great to see Sticky again and NewDoug and family. I hope and pray all (and more) will be able to make the Fall Gathering at Hungary Mother State Park. Also a great place for a Gall Gathering. OAD was sorely missed as was Phillip (where were you and the Silverwing?). |
