Jim, didn't I ride with you, Carlos, and Webe to this blessed event a couple of years ago? It seems so long ago.
Last year I did a shorter loop than I will this year, so as I can be attacking from the North. My plan to get to Harrisville WV from Knoxville Tn is via Corning NY, then to Warren Pa, and South to Harrisville. Damn near a straight line on my map!
Vern, Yes you remember correctly. Looking like I will try to meet up with Carlos and Webe again this year on Friday. I can extend the trip after the weekend, but not before. I am only canceling the hotel, not the trip!
I'm a MAYBE!!!! I got my beach house open from 21st-28th..... 21st is saturday, so me and my girl could come for the weekend. $20 for campsite, is that per day? And are there showers?
Wolfy, tell me again when you're headed down to the campsite? Leo and I are travelling separately so I'll come down early to help you out, if you need it.
we are heading down Wednesday after work and staying at the folks place Wednesday and Thursday night and at the campground Friday and Saturday night....
NittanyXT read my route plan and offered for me to stop for the night at his place on my way through. That is just awesome! Thanks Jon!
My time on the road has me limited a bit to make my trip complete as planned. Therefore I would be short on family time that is scheduled or I would gladly be stopping for the night.
Thanks Jon! Here is to hoping you and Derrik can make the WV Buell Rally
On a side note, I sold the fifth wheel camper that I likened to the 'Star Wars' Death Star. I owned that thing for about ten years. This past winter, with all of it's high winds, massive wetness, and lots of freezing, well.....that pretty much killed it. Little patch-able leaks became big uncontrollable sieves. Artificial wood that had seen dampness before, became wet and spongy. It had it's time, and it's time has passed.
To all who have spent a night in it's wrecked semi comfort, you are welcome, and I'm glad you could. For you all coming down this way the welcome mat is still out, but for now you will be needing to unpack your tents. The pool, cook outs, and bonfires will still happen, it is just that for now.....the beer will be in coolers.
Anybody coming to the rally have a local dealer with an XB fan in stock? Mine's (06 Uly) starting to make some bearing-rattle noise and if someone has access to one of the new ones and can bring it, I'll gladly buy it at the rally to have it as a spare...
Joe,I have a used (17K) fan that was working fine when I took it out. I'll bring it along if I can make it, waiting for some stars to align, if so I'll be down Sat. afternoon.
Wolf, as per my previous post I'm hoping to make it down Sat. afternoon with Derek and one other rider possibly in tow. Do you want me to post in roll call as I won't be sure until Friday?
Actually, Tom B. hooked me up - new fan should ship this AM
If I had someone to ride with...I'd bring the S2. But that "voice" in my head says..."hmm...16 year old motorcycle, 4 hour ride, middle of nowhere, at night, riding solo...? Take the newer one, goofball".
I'm sure the S2 would do just fine...but fact of the matter is, the Uly just has acres and acres of luggage space - probably twice what I can put on the S2.
But I definitely thought about it. Hard. I do love that S2, and need to ride it more often...
Seems like every big ride I go on, an XB breaks down .But it's a crap shoot,you never know who could be next!!! The last time my XB went to the Dragon ,500 miles from home the Starter quit!!! Will save that story for the campfire!!!
