Hopefully at least some of these pics are right now that I know what to do differently (when I remember to do it). Etennuly made it in late yesterday but had to leave early today:
Buells before the first run this morning.
Another view in front of the Skyline.
Dennis and I taking a rest stop after I missed a turn on the "Murder Mountain Run" today.

Good to see yall again. Would have been happy to have been there for tonight's party/dinner on the veranda. Hope Mike was able to fill the room. Got home about 3:30. Very nice ride home. Twenty five miles of it speed cruising with a C6 Corvette! Fun! Got to replace belt tensioner bearings and fan. Bearings getting quite noisy when hot. Fan will no longer turn on. Key fob is excellent Froggy, thank you! Got the hitch in my get-along ironed out over a few hours. |

What did you do Vern? Ride there and then have bike problems? Or was it back problems or a combination thereof? |

We got home safe and sound around 1:00. Saw lots of vintage bikes in Chesnee, SC while riding through town to the house. Decent temps in Columbia to welcome us back for a change. It is usually super hot here after this rally. Nice seeing folks again. Missed Cyclone Charlie Williams and Lafayette though... |

Well hi Greg! My fan has run slower and slower the last few times out....it has died. Noticed unhappy noise from lower right side matching wheel speed. Maybe the tightness of the new belt became more than the factory unserviceable bearings in the tensioner could handle. Not a good sounding bearing by the time I got back. Did a few hours of therapy to get my getalong straightened out! Going better now. Now back to limping equally to both sides! |

Don't ever stop, Vern, or you'll seize up like the tin-man in a rainstorm. |

The Frogster has a BIG announcement to make! He actually enjoyed riding an air cooled bike this weekend? So, when's this big announcement going to be made? |

Maybe the tightness of the new belt became more than the factory unserviceable bearings in the tensioner could handle. You can knock that bearing out and get another one from NAPA. Don't remember the part #, but remember doing a few. |

I just tried to go to farcebook and my account has been disabled. Damned if I know why. I can't see what the change in Frank's status is. Anyhow, why all the mystery? Why not just post the announcement? |

Didn't intend to steal anyone's thunder... If it's posted on Facebook, I guess it isn't exactly in the public domain? Another reason to hate that place I guess! CONGRATS still Froggy! (Message edited by 1313 on July 31, 2017) |

I think they were just being polite and giving me a chance to do it myself. Honestly I had not gotten a chance to make a real post about it here yet, I need to resize pics and stuff, I intended to do it last night but it was a super busy day. I had also been in contact with my real estate agent, and I don't want to jinx it as it isn't 100% done and final yet, but I may be moving to right down the road from Big W's BBQ in Wingdale (my cardiologist will love me) |

I hope y'all will be as happily married as we are. |

Now THAT is some great news! To be honest, I had a fairly strong suspicion that the engagement was going to be the news; the possible real estate deal in such a beautiful location just sweetens things all the more. Congratulations! I hope that you and Dani have many years of unparalleled happiness together in your new home! |

Froggy nailed it. It wasn't our announcement to make. Congratulations, Sir! Will you be having a Pony-themed wedding? |

See, this area is clearly magic. You guys that haven't made it down to BITA yet need to mark your calendars NOW for the last weekend in July 2018. I mean if one visit resulted in Froggy getting engaged, who knows what else could happen ? |

Super cool news, my buddy Frank! Looking forward to the next time we get together, wanna check out that fancy 3D ring! Plus, getting ready to pull the trigger on a Mr./Mrs. Froggy burrow to boot! Way to go, man, way to go! |
