Too kewl Ferris. I will be up in VA Thursday around 5pm and then again for Labor Day. The latter Wifey will be there too so we will have to go to Stations Inn again. You know if I keep going up there so much I will have to forward my mail.  | ||

Frank's at noon? Tank, is this thing on? Hellooooo? | ||
| Tank_bueller |
Franks at noon. I'm already hungry. Maybe I should get some breakfast? Might get a little moist out today, too. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Yeah, I just cleaned the bike so it's gonna rain! See ya round 12. NUTS | ||

Just stopped by our favorite Buell store and heard the news: The-raven was involved in an auto accident last night. He is conscious and seems to have all his faculties, but there is severe injury to his body. As of today he was only accepting visitors who are family. I tried to tell them BUELL is family but it was a no-go. I'm sure he'll be alright and I'll visit upon my return from "Cross-eyed heaven, WV". Tank arrived intact and we successfully dodged 6 deer and one Ranger on the BRP en-route to Big Lick. Departure at 0800 Thursday and I got a lot to do! NUTS | ||

that sucks. y'all be careful out there. get well soon Seth, if you need ANYTHING just say the word. FB&D | ||
| Tank_bueller |
Get better soon Seth. Nuts needs all the help he can get. Good ride today nuts. You are afraid and I had a full load. We'll see what happens in cross-eye land with no bags. Lead the way, brutha(exclamation) Sorry, don't have one in the phone. | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Seth, Praying for ya' brutha. Hope you heal quickly and get back to chasing them buzzworms before they den up for the year. Welcome back to Roanoke Tank! Thanks for the call there dick  . Nuts, I HAVE to talk to you about the lizard transportation. Try to call me when you get to wherever it is you and Tank are headed. I know your pathetic little phone won't get service but Tanks satelite enabled, global phone surely will. Squeal like a pig boys!!!! | ||
| Nutsosane |
Jackie, I'll give a valiant effort to call. Tank, phone call coming your way in about 24 minutes. I busted my hump last night to get all packed up. Had to scrape plaster off of 40 year old tiles too. Ah, the price of fame. Seth, I hope everything goes well today and as soon as I get back in town I'll be available for any assistance your family might need. NUTS(all around good guy)  | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
GET WELL SETH.  ...............Charlie | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Jackie, Showed the picture of your lizards to my gator,he got so excited I thought he was going to grab the pic. before I could get away.  What's the latest word on Seth, hope he's doing good. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Jaxson, I called several times and always got the machine. Maybe you can settle on a cell # or control the raging hormones of them yunguns.  NUTS | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Charlie, The latin name for the lizards is Cyclodomorphus gerrardii. Notice the Cyclo part there man. That makes them kinda like part of your family. Now gimme some money to buy more ! You better never let me near your gator cause if you do him and I are gonna wrestle to see who wins. I think I can take him but Nuts seems to think otherwise. So which one of us are you gonna put your money on Charlie? | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Darn Jackie, I'm gonna have to go check my family tree(Cyclo) I knew it had some slippery dudes, but this I don't know.  I have seen this (seven foot )gater back a guy(250 lbs.)up to a tree and take a whole string of fish from him before he would leave. My money is on the Gator. The Mexican workers that were here have taught him that humans are a food source(feeding him scraps at lunch time) It's a shame but the damage is done. It will probably be his demise.  Any news on Seth? | ||
| Nutsosane |
Seth is still in the Hospital and as of Saturday was not having visitors other than family. I'll try to get in today or tomorrow to see for sure. NUTS | ||

I decided to swap out Huckleberry's tires today. I had 4300 miles on the stockers with about 500 miles of use left. The front and rear were both at the wear bars due to my excessive corner riding and leaving the highway alone. I avoid Wiley Drive at all costs too!  So I pull the wheels yesterday and head over to Williamson Rd to get some new rubber this morning. Mike has several sets in stock from Continental, Avon, Michelin, Dunlop and Bridgestone. The Bridgestone were the cheapest and had the most neutral profile so I had him mount 'em up. While waiting for the job to be done he asks if I need another brake rotor for the front. Well, I don't "need" one but whatch want for it? Just take it, Mike says. So another front Buell rotor comes home with me and the tires. All told:$247 dollars for tires and a Buell ZTL rotor. Not a bad monday. NUTS | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
NUTS, please tell Seth hello from Fancy Gap, and that we're all here to help. thanks. FB&D | ||
| Tank_bueller |
Nuts, once again with the "deals" The rotor kit is(was) $120. That included all of the mounting hardware. Don't mount a new rotor without new hardware!(or a used one, new hardware) And make sure the wheel surface where the rotor mounts is "pristine". File it lightly if you have to. Get well soon Seth! And I got $100 on Jackie!  | ||

Took the 10 year old daughter on a night ride of the Franklin Co. mountains. We had a blast riding and stopping to listen to the sounds of the night. Even stopped by the old cemetary to see if any friendly spirits might be in the neighborhood. Alas, no one was home.  | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Jackie, Showed the Gator your pic on the 4 wheeler and he started slapping his tail(not sure what that means)  Ok Nuts, somebody, we need a Seth Report. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Well, as of today Mr. The-raven is out of the hospital. I have a call in to his cell phone and am awaiting a reply. In my message I extended everyones wishes for a healful and speedy recovery. Hopefully he'll be able to surf the interweb and visit us here on RVF&L. Get well Seth! NUTS | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Charlie, It means he was have a seizure because he knows my reputation as the master of all things reptilian. The poor thing will probably find another lake to live in now because he is frightened of our inevitable showdown. I believe the Nutster is at the new family compound and then headed off on an Easy Rider type adveture with his dad and brothers so that update may be some time coming. Then again he may slip in here before he leaves to give an update. You never know what he is going to do. Brutha' is slippery as a snake which probably explains why we are such good friends  . | ||

Still in town until Sunday afternoon. I was at The Farm last night in a treestand though.  Down to business: I spoke to Seth this evening and he's a trooper. Sounded like the 'ole Seth, just a slight hint of a limp.  Once he gets settled he promised to give us all an update with pics. Sort of like the Ride Report no one ever wants to report! Heal up Seth and I'll be back in town just in time to get that grass cut one last time. NUTS | ||
| Nutsosane |
That's some spooky stuff right there. If only because I know "the guy" and speak to him weekly about motorbike foolishness. Thanks for always tolerating my flights of fancy Seth. This little break of yours might just give me the opportunity to get in shape and be able to keep up with you at "The Cove" when you're healed. Today is "D" day and we have a liftoff time of noon. I think I'll guide the clan North to avoid the impending rain South of us.  After having ridden all four bikes in my garage yesterday I can say with absolut certainty: Huckleberry is indeed the finest! Though, Suxi-Q ain't far behind. NUTS | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Seth, Glad your back with us, those were some scary photos. This is going to take you a while to recover from. Just take it one day at a time. Looking forward to seeing you again..........Charlie | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
good to see you posting, Seth. heal quickly and well and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. FB&D | ||

Doing better this week than last week as can be expected. Still 4 more weeks until I am expected to be walking again. At least they rebuilt my right arm so that while still broken it can carry weight so I can hop on my right leg and balance myself with my arms on a walker. Seth |
