Yeah, I need to start building endurance. You guys don't need to hear me whining the whole week.

Take off the training wheel off your kids bike and attach them to your bandit. Problem solved. Ain't I useful?

Good thing I'm not taking the HD, that thing looks enough like a police bike that it would give you guys a start every time you looked in your mirror.

I reserved another room with double beds. $60 a day. if anyone wants to split, let me know.

Rowdy, I'm planning on staying overnight on the road before i meet you. Lexington works for me as a meet up. Where about do you think you will call it a night on your stretch? From that, I'll figure about how far I need to make it after work on Friday to be at the meet on time Saturday.

I think I might stay in Cincy which is 4 and a half hours by car, but only 45 minutes from lexington. my whole reason for stopping short is to limit my night riding. If I don't have to dodge deer at night, I won't.

I also have microsoft streets and trips here at work. It lists restaruants, gas stations, and ect on the map. I will compare the route with gas stations and try to find somewhere exact to meet.

Cool. We'll have a better plan in a few more weeks, but whatever happens we'll be in touch on the road, too. Be sure to get me your contact info for the card.

I was entertaining thoughts of still meeting up with you guys even though I broke my arm last week, but I just got home this afternoon from four days in the hospital after some friggin ugly infection got into my road rash. Doesn't look like this is going to be my year for the twisties.

Ride safe guys.

LOL. Now that would have been a sight. Not exactly a Hallmark moment.

Can I go too? I am planning on going to the Dragon this weekend or next. But I am always up for going. But I am lucky enough to live not too far away from it.

Fine by me.

How well do you know the area?

It would be nice to have a guide.

Sure. You'll have to get caught up on the accommodations discussion and let us know if you would like to be included.

Thanks. It's remarkably hard to design for 75 pixels high.
