[mxvet57]

Stop doing burnouts with your pirate buddys and those last longer  

Hay Jack, that was a good one Now this one is a little more the norm for me.




Want to buy a few used tires?

Not looking good, still packing, still trying.

Not looking good, still packing, still trying.      

Got my new luggage rack on.  Packed the camping gear early just to make sure.  Might even do 100 mi. tomorrow just see how it handles with all the gear.

Of course I'll finish packing Thursday morning an hour before I leave, probably with an empty fuel tank!

Holy Crap Weather underground forecast a high temp of 95 with heat index of 104 for Friday! (Arbovale WV)
I may sweat my butt off in leathers on the way down, if it rains it may feel good
  Sat & Sun much cooler

Can we make 100 pages BEFORE the event????

I might have to do an 11th hour water pump rebuild Thursday night.

[R Doug]

D'oh!  Is this the first or second water pump on the LC8 for you?

Still on the original water pump seal after 45K miles.  

But apparently not for long. The shop noted that they had to top off my coolant. And I noted my oil filter looked a wee bit puffy/wavy at the last oil change. I will take a look at it Thursday night when I get the bike back and decide my course of action (ride it as is, change oil/filter and ride it, or do the rebuild). I've had the rebuild parts on the shelf for a couple years now (just in case). I have a spare fuel pump on the shelf too :-)

Chef,

Something wrong there...  Green Bank, WV a few miles south of arbovale says 79 for a high Friday.  I don't think there is that much difference in elevation..  One thing for sure... One of them is gonna be way off.. Lol

[R Doug]

That is a good amount of miles for an LC8 water pump.  Kudos for having the packup parts in stock.  

[JamminJere]

Garry probably has backups for his backups.  

He's an eagle scout

You go Garry!

[shil]

Hey, we're heading south from Jamestown toward Altoona on Thursday. I've heard that there's a lot of trucking going on in PA. Anywhere in particular to avoid? Any suggested routes?

Anyhow, see you at Mamie's on Friday. I'm looking forward to this year's first decent ride.

I am nearly packed as I plan on rolling out Thursday morning and make a much longer trip to Boyer.    We'll see what work gives me tomorrow.  If it ends like today, I'll be rolling out Thursday!  

[slayman]

I'll be departing Lancaster County 7-8 ish Thursday morning heading W/SW along the Mason Dixon line before heading to Tanneytown, then  through the Catoctin Mt Park, Shepherstown, Charlestown and to Front Royal. Depending on my progress and weather forecast I'll head down 340, or Skyline, or head west and catch one of the WV routes.

Any interested parties, let me know.

I'll have to try the breakfast at Mamies on another trip. Thanks for the offered hospitality, SLK.

[Mr.Black]

You guys are aware that Saturday is a full moon, right?

jimmy ( Mike ) is coming down from ON and knows central PA fairly well.
I gave him some suggested routes to avoid the worst.

But 219 south from Buffalo isn't horrible and gets you here pretty quick.
When I go to Buffalo I just set the GPS to "shortest distance" and it
usually provides a descent route.

When you DO make it out this way, ring me up and we'll get together for breakfast, lunch OR dinner!

[Bigpoodle]

Looks as if I will be able to make this party after all, assuming there is camping space left.  [Beth, do I need to contact Boyer Station directly about camping or do you just put me on the list and I pay on arrival?]

I'm riding Friday morning from State College PA if anyone else coming through there wants to meet up and ride down together.
