Dragon Slayers

[Wahooman]

So Tom, Nate, and myself decided that we are planning on leaving at 5am....hoping we are out by 6am. My house is open for anyone needing to crash here. All bike need to be at locations by Thursday night. I am packing Wed. night and thursday. Want to have bikes loaded Thursday night and ready to roll in the am.
Gas continues to go up....but nothing we can do about that...guess just eat cheaper
Nate, Mark, Sully, John, and Rob have all paid for the house plus $30.00 each towards fuel already. I will be putting all fuel on my CC and then dividing up the total when we return for both vehicles. This will be the easiest way to keep track and fair as well.
I think I have directions and maps all done.....Gramps we are taking a different route this time bro none of those redneck back roads that get us in on Sunday afternoon

[?]

5am? D-oh! Well, that's the best way to get there - start early.

I plan to bring my bike over Thursday, after I get it back together. I had compression loss on 1 cyl and I'm doing valves now..... nothing like last minute repairs to make things nice and relaxing for a trip.

[Gramps]

hey you liked those redneck backroads

and besides you needed some culture

[Wahooman]

ONe bike delivered so far...Thanks john. Rob's bike is ready for delivery. Mark how you coming?
Got the truck almost ready....mounted the new tires, and inspected brakes....DAMN! New brakes all the way around too!!! Oh well, has to be done as some point I guess.
Got tools and "garage" type stuff ready to go...gathering my personal items....just throwing it all in a rubbermaid tote...all I need is my leathers and a tooth brush right?

Thanks for storing it til Friday Curtis... I'll probably end up coming over early Friday AM. I doubt I'll start packing til tomorrow night. Fortunately you only live about 10-15 mins from me...

I left the key in case you get bored and want to take it for a spin...

[Boy Scout]

just throwing it all in a rubbermaid tote

Yeah right, Curtis...A rubbermade tote...I heard it was all you could do to get your stuff in A car last year.

all I need is my leathers and a tooth brush right?

MMMMMMM...I just love a man in leathers with fresh breath.

I'll probably end up coming over early Friday AM.

Don't be pullin no "Barn" on us...Hey guys, it's 4am and I just got home.

I probably will be up til at least 1 or 2am tonight packing and getting ready.

Is ANYONE heading to Wahoo's in the AM instead of staying the night? If so, do you think you could swing by and pick me up on your way? (I'm off of 97th & Lowell... about a 15 minute side trip)

[Gramps]

looks like it's a win win situation for me

I never said I wouldn't be there on time. I just didn't want to have to bring my car and leave it at Wahoo's.... :P

I WILL be there, one way or another.

[Boy Scout]

Maybe we could each use that R1 on our first run...just to get a feel for the road before we take our own bikes through. I think it's equipped with sliders now so it should be fine.

Does anyone have a radar detector they can bring tonight or tomorrow.....if so bring it.

The GiPper lives!

Just got the old beast back together and it runs as well as I remember - silky smooth from idle to 1,000 over redline. Took it out for a quick ride and all is well - no stumble. Compression's good, but it smokes a little. (Not to worry, it's old enough!)

So, all looks good for delivery sometime this evening - about 7 ok? I may just leave the car and trailer there if it's OK, or I can arrange a ride.

I'm doing the same old "toss it all in a Rubbermaid bin" thing. Way better to have a bike that runs, than to have tidy luggage......

Wooohooooo - it's Dragon time!

[Player 2]

Hey Curtis, I just realized that I forgot to leave my straps there last night. How late are you going to be up tonight or can I just bring them with me tomorrow morning??

[Wahooman]

I should have enought straps....anyone have a radar detector?? Please bring if you do!
