I'm testing camping gear this weekend, it hasn't been out for a couple of years. I'm hoping it is in better shape than I am. |

AHHH! I just picked up a copy of RIDER magazine! There is a long feature article about North Georgia Riding! They feature roads around Suches, and there's a paragraph about TWO! They ABSOLUTELY loved the roads around there! I can't wait!!! |

well it looks like the I am going to have to change my plans, and not be able to attend In the middle of buying a house and it doesn't look like I am not going to be able to get away (also my spending cash is a bit lower at this point). In reading this thread I am kicking myself, but I will fall back to the old standard: "Maybe next year". -Patrick |

I too find myself in a position where I need to be realistic. The truth is, I'm struggling financially. I've got a ton of bills right now, My wife just lost her job yesterday, my day job is'nt going very well and since I've only been working there for eight months, I have no vacation time due at all. On top of all that, I think I just really picked a bad time to buy a new bike. The payment is just compounding my problems. I really think I should have waited. So, it is with great regret that I have decided that unfortunately, I will be unable to miss this event. That's right! Unable to MISS it! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Broke as a joke, but I'm going! I ain't gonna miss this for nothing! I don't care if I'm unemployed when I get back home as long as I got them beautiful little balls of rubber on the edge of my tires! See you guys there! |

Snowy roads will be the only thing keeping me from this trip! I don't care if it stays freezing and I can't ride one day before this trip.... Thursday morning I'll be on that bike headed south 550 miles! |

April 2nd is going to suck like nothing has ever sucked before! No doubt, that's one reason I took off until Wednesday. Wolf, you ought to see my bike now. I took off the old header, and put one I polished on. All that's left is the lower fairing and a bath. I can't remember when the bikes been this clean! One thing though, my old header was cracked. Didn't notice it until we got it off. I can't say if it was the wrap or not, I had also broke a front muffler strap a while ago, so that could have caused it as well. Just a heads up, take a good look at your header between each time you wrap 'em. |
