Thanks Kristi! He didn't make a pit stop here on the way back. The last I'd heard from him he was on the way to Erik Buell Racing to get a gasket to so Uke's could finish repairing his bike. |

Brankin is home safe and sound. He rolled into New Bern around 9:00. |

Stumbled across this event last night, first I'd heard of it. Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run: http://www.motorcyclecannonball.com/ Start is at Kitty Hawk on Sept 10th and they ride only pre 1916 motorcycles(any make) coast to coast. Might have to be sick that day.
maybe they will leave all the do not touch tags at home. |

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I went up to Cincinnati OH last month. I-77 in WV would have made a great MC ride for an interstate highway, unfortunately I was in a rental car. I did pass this couple hauling a tank behind a goldwing on Memorial Day weekend. She was reading a I-pad that was resting on his back in the twisties...almost made me sick just thinking about it.
crappy photo but you get the idea. |

Mountain Grass Notice!!! Carlos and I will be heading to Cincinnati for the 4th of July. We plan to head back to VA on Tues or Wed and then "cut mountain grass" that weekend (July 9-11). If anyone is interested in meeting us there, let us know. I think we have FB&D talked into coming out to play! |

Fly - Been there, done that. If you think the interstate is fun, ride on US-52 which parallels I-77 in VA. |

Thanks M2nc will add that to the little black book. WVA is a playground I have yet to explore but hope to. |

Fly - you need to hit the WV Rally in August with M2nc and Webe. They have a great time. |

Anyone interested in C3 Central for Buelltoberfest this year? We should know in the next few weeks if we can swing it or not. Just trying to get a feeler out for who might be interested in the cabin route again. |

Fly - you need to hit the WV Rally in August with M2nc and Webe. They have a great time. Sounds like fun! Work prevents me from committing to anything too far in advance. I'm 100% at missing all planned MC events/rides this year for one reason or another. |

I think I just lost a voltage regulator. Popped both headlight bulbs as I was pulling into tonight's motel. Should still be able to make it home, as it's an overvoltage not an undervoltage condition that would do that. I just won't have any headlights. |

Well here is when things get interesting. I'm about to leave Chillicoth, heading toward Charlestown, WV on highway 35. I won't have cell service along the way. I won't have it in Charlestown either, though I'll get it somewhere south of there. It's 100 miles to Charlestown, so I should easily be there by 8:00 am. Kristi, if you don't hear from me, it means I'm walking down 35. I don't know exactly what you should do about that, but I'd like someone to know. I'll give you a call as soon as I'm back in cell range. That should be by 9:00 am. |

Text sent. Let me know where you are when you can and how things are going. If I need to start calling for parts I can. |

I just heard from Jim. He is in Charleston, WV and the bike is running fine for now (minus the headlight, of course). |
